Liquid salt dosage systems for pasta filata-type cheeses

Controls Salinity and Temperature in Cheese Production

The Liquid Salt Dosage System from GEA is engineered to assist cheese manufacturers in maintaining optimal salinity and temperature during the production of pasta filata-type cheeses. This system features a thermoregulated salt dosage process, utilizing a cylindrical stainless steel tank for solution preparation, which ensures consistent quality and performance. It includes a centrifugal pump that transfers cold saline to a heating station with titanium-plated heat exchangers, allowing precise temperature control via operator-adjusted modulating valves. The two-tank system further enhances accuracy by preparing up to 1800 liters of saturated salt solution, which is diluted to the required salinity. Direct steam injection ensures precise temperature management. Designed with stainless steel and fiberglass, the system meets high hygienic standards and integrates seamlessly into continuous and manual operations, providing versatility across food and dairy processing lines. Configurations are available to meet specific industrial and operational needs, offering reliable and efficient salt dosing essential for producing mozzarella, provolone, and other specialty cheeses.
