Gdl and rennet dosing solution for white cheese production
Optimize white cheese production by dramatically reducing acidification time with precise inline dosing, ensuring consistent quality and enhanced shelf life.

Mixes and Doses for Accelerated Cheese Acidification
The Tetra Pak® GDL and Rennet Dosing Unit is an innovative solution for white cheese producers, offering an efficient approach to acidification processes. By leveraging the rapid acidifying properties of Glucono-delta-lactone (GDL), it transforms traditional batch operations, cutting the acidification time from hours to minutes. This dosing unit seamlessly integrates into cheese processing lines, ensuring continuous, controlled dosing of rennet and GDL, which are crucial for achieving desired cheese textures and flavors in products like feta and Greek-style cheeses.
Equipped with mixing tanks and special agitators, the system promotes hygiene by preventing residue buildup, while its compact design supports easy access for maintenance. The setup accommodates various production capacities, with units like the GDL 300 handling up to 2250 liters per hour. Engineered for continuous operation, it feeds your filling machine with precision and ease, ensuring consistent output quality and yield.
Designed with food-grade materials, the unit complies with stringent industry hygiene standards, making it suitable for dairy processing environments. Customizable options and engineering support are available to meet specific production needs, enhancing the unit’s versatility and ensuring it fits seamlessly into your existing operations.
