Filtration brine sanitation unit for cheese production
In cheese production facilities, maintaining the quality and safety of brine solutions is crucial. Unfiltered brine can harbor various microorganisms, leading to compromised cheese quality and potential product recalls. Proper brine sanitation is essential for producing high-quality cheese consistently.

Maintain clean and safe brine solutions
The GEA COLDSAN® Filtration Brine Sanitation Unit is designed to enhance the sanitation of cheese brine through microfiltration technology. Unlike traditional methods such as heat treatment or preservatives, this unit physically removes microorganisms and impurities without altering the brine’s chemical composition. Equipped with polymeric microfiltration membranes, GEA COLDSAN® ensures minimal water and salt loss while delivering clear and clean brine. The simple, flexible ‘Plug & Play’ setup allows for easy integration with existing brine systems. With a range of models to fit different operation sizes, from smaller volumes to large-scale facilities, this unit is engineered to meet precise specifications. GEA’s solution not only improves cheese flavor and texture but also reduces operational costs and environmental impact by allowing brine recycling.
