Extruder for string cheese production
Efficiently process pasta filata cheeses into uniform shapes with precise temperature control and minimized fat loss, ensuring your cheese maintains quality and consistency throughout production.
Extrudes and Shapes Cheese with Temperature Control
The Tetra Pak® Cheese Extruder DA S offers an efficient solution for cheese manufacturers and dairy processors aiming to produce consistent, high-quality string cheese, Oaxaca cheese, and pasta filata products. This dual auger extruder employs a counter-rotating design with a double-walled heated jacket that ensures stable product temperatures and reduces fat loss during extrusion—critical for maintaining product integrity.
The machine excels in processing versatility, featuring programmable settings for both heat and auger speeds, allowing optimization for different cheese types. With a capacity of producing up to 680 kg/hour for single-color cheeses, the extruder is built to meet the demands of high-throughput environments while maintaining precision.
Its compact and hygienic open channel frame design supports easy cleaning and reduced maintenance downtime, essential for food safety compliance. Furthermore, the machine integrates seamlessly with existing production lines, facilitated by its modular design and intuitive touchscreen interface that simplifies operation and monitoring.
Tetra Pak’s engineering expertise is reflected in the unit’s energy efficiency, achieved through advanced temperature control systems, making it a sustainable choice for modern cheese processing facilities.
