Dynamic brine salting system for dairy production

Streamline your cheese salting process with a system designed to handle high daily volumes, ensuring consistent brine regeneration and lifting efficiency for hard cheese varieties like Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano.

Automates Salting and Brining of Hard Cheeses

The Impianto Salatura Dinamica from Progema Engineering revolutionizes hard cheese production by automating the brining process, minimizing manual handling and enhancing efficiency. Ideal for Grana Padano, Parmigiano Reggiano, and Asiago, it integrates seamlessly into both new and existing production lines. Utilizing patented basket lifting systems, the dynamic salting process immerses cheese wheels in brine with precision, reducing bacterial load through ultrafiltration and ensuring consistent salinity. The system features an electropneumatic control panel and a PLC with automatic control, facilitating continuous operation and optimal brine management. Customizable to fit specific cheese production needs, it supports semi-automatic operation with optional conveyor and weighing systems for streamlined logistics. Enhanced with a heat exchanger for brine cooling and a CIP system for easy maintenance, this solution offers energy-efficient performance backed by robust engineering support.
