Molding equipment for provolone and caciocavallo cheese
In the production of high-quality provolone and caciocavallo cheeses, controlling the molding process is crucial. Consistent size and shape, proper temperature management, and safety are important factors in achieving optimal results.
Automates molding for consistent cheese quality
The GEA molding products are designed to produce high-quality provolone and caciocavallo cheeses. These systems can handle capacities of up to 1,200 kg per hour for provolone and 600 kg per hour for caciocavallo. Equipped with PLC control and servo-motor drives, these units offer precise control of the augers feeding the molding sections. The machine uses a pneumatic unit to gently turn out molded products from the cups, while an electrically controlled, water-heated jacket maintains the optimum temperature. Multiple molding sections allow for flexibility, including configurations with 2 or 4 sections. All surfaces in contact with the product are Teflon coated for hygiene, and all edges and corners are rounded for easy cleaning. The units also feature a water recycling system, enhancing efficiency. Provided by GEA, these molding systems combine safety with efficiency and precision, making them ideal for industrial cheese production.
