Salt dispenser for cheddar cheese production

Achieve consistent salt concentrations in cheese production with a reliable dispenser that adapts to various plant layouts, ensuring precise distribution and minimizing waste.

Delivers Precise Salting and Safe Conveying

The Tetra PakĀ® Salt-Dispenser 2 is engineered for precision salting of cheese products, providing consistent salt delivery for cheddar and other dry-salted cheese varieties. This equipment utilizes a pneumatic conveying system to offer flexibility across various plant layouts, with each salt application outfitted with a dedicated salt hopper and lost weight feeder for accuracy. Integrated rare earth magnets ensure food safety by eliminating ferrous contaminants before the salt enters the conveying line. With a focus on durability, the dispenser is constructed from high-grade stainless steel with fiberglass hoppers to resist corrosion in handling powdered salt. This system is particularly suitable for cheese manufacturers aiming for uniform salting while benefiting from customizable and continuous operation.
