Milk cream separation system for cheese production
Enhance your cheese production efficiency by seamlessly integrating a skimming and separation system that optimizes milk-cream separation, ensuring precise fat content for consistent high-quality cheese outputs such as Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano.

Separates Milk and Cream for Cheese Production
The Affioramento Separation System from Progema Engineering is tailored for efficient milk and cream separation in cheese production, specifically for crafting high-quality Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano. Utilizing a sophisticated automation software, this system manages affioramento through precise weight and fat content readings, optimizing spillamento and ensuring constant process monitoring. Ideal for dairy industries, it offers seamless integration with existing processing lines and operates with industrial PLCs for enhanced control and supervision. Its design supports use with standard tanks and basins, eliminating the need for special transport and costly modifications, while operating efficiently even in external, unprotected environments. With features like selectable spillamento modes and dynamic brine salting systems, this equipment enhances production flexibility and output quality.
