Hot water heaters for pasta filata cheese
Optimize your pasta filata cheese processing with precise heating control and efficient hot water generation, ensuring consistent quality in mozzarella and provolone production.

Heats and Controls Water for Cheese Production
The hot water heaters from GEA are engineered to elevate pasta filata cheese production by delivering precise and efficient heating solutions. These heaters utilize direct and indirect steam systems to meet various production requirements. The direct steam water vat can heat 350 liters of water from 10°C to 85°C each hour, operating at 3 bar steam pressure, with a thermoregulated system featuring a silencer injector. For jacketed systems, the heaters can raise 120 liters of water from 20°C to 90°C in eight minutes, ensuring rapid temperature adjustments. Indirect heaters manage up to 2,000 liters per hour with a stainless steel coil system for effective heat exchange. These units are designed for continuous operation and energy efficiency, utilizing centrifugal pumps for water circulation, minimizing energy consumption. Integration is seamless with features like automatic water level gauges, modulating valve control, and CIP compatibility for reduced maintenance needs. Ideal for cheese manufacturers, dairy processors, and food processing entities, these solutions enhance the quality and consistency of mozzarella, provolone, and other pasta filata cheese varieties.
