Fermentation vat for dairy products
Optimize your cheese production with a specialized fermentation vat that enhances curd formation and whey drainage, ensuring consistent results and maximizing yield in your dairy processing operations.

Processes and Drains Curd in Cheese Production
The Fermentation Vat from Uzermak is a pivotal component in dairy processing, crafted from AISI 304 quality stainless steel for robust performance and corrosion resistance. This vat is optimized for cheese manufacturers, facilitating the fermentation, pressing, and drainage processes critical in producing curd, mozzarella, ricotta, feta, cheddar, gouda, and more. With inner dimensions of 3000 mm in length by 1000 mm in width and 500 mm in depth, it efficiently processes large batches of liquid and semi-solid materials. The vat’s design ensures minimal maintenance with its seamless construction that prevents residue build-up, enhancing both hygiene and longevity. An edge-located outlet and three specialized stainless steel sheets with whey drainage holes ensure optimal curd processing. The vat integrates seamlessly within a manual, batch-based operation, tailored to the specific needs of dairy production. For safety, its edges are designed to prevent worker injury, and its easy-to-clean features uphold rigorous sanitary standards essential for food production.
