Cheese Pasteurization Equipment

Can you think of anything better than a slice of bread with some spreadable cheese for a snack? Production of cheese spread is similar to other types of processed cheese, but it contains more moisture to be soft and spreadable. Cheese spread starts with one or more types of cheese along with other ingredients and food additives such as stabilizers and emulsifiers. After mixing and vacuum cooking these ingredients, you can pour them into molds for cooling before packaging.

You usually make grated cheese from hard cheeses, like Cheddar, Parmesan, Edam, Red Leicester, etc. The process starts with processed cheese, in blocks or sliced, fed to the grating machine. After that, you mix it with ingredients that prevent molds from occurring and to reduce the grated cheese moisture. Then you dry the grated cheese and weigh it before it is ready for packing.

Aphrodite’s Rock, the Limassol Carnival, and the Tomb of the Kings are defining features of Cyprus. But perhaps nothing characterizes the Mediterranean island as well as halloumi. The salty, springy cheese has been a staple of Cypriot homes for centuries. But halloumi production technology is now bringing this delicacy to others far away from the region.

Cheese is the most demanding food in the entire dairy family to emulate using non-animal and dairy free ingredients. The complex physical and taste profiles of animal-derived milk products make plant-based cheese manufacturing challenging to pull off. But the growing appetite for lactose-free and non dairy products is serving alternative platters of cheese.

In 1922, the first canned wet pet food made of horse meat hit the US market. Due to the product’s popularity, farmers started breeding horses to supply the demand for wet pet food.
Nowadays, wet pet food is no longer made of horse meat, but of chicken, fish, beef and pork and also vegetables, grains and added vitamins and minerals. Wet pet food processing involves different steps such as weighing, grinding, mixing, packaging, and sterilization.

Food powder is the result of drying and pulverizing food. It has been around since the astronauts when out to space. Fruits have a short shelf life and are difficult to preserve due to their high water content.  Fruit powder processing allows you to keep the nutrients of the fruits for a longer time, even off-season.

Black Soldier fly larvae (BSF or BSFL), also known by its scientific name, <em>Hermentia Illucens</em>, offer great nutritional values, making them an excellent alternative protein source for animal feed and pet food. Black soldier fly technologies have evolved sufficiently to turn the insect into a viable food ingredient. But there is no official authorization for human consumption yet and you are unlikely to find them at a restaurant anytime soon.

People have always loved butter. Suffice it to say that Ancient Norsemen were buried with it to take to the afterlife. It seems impossible but making butter is all about separation. First, you separate the raw milk to get the buttercream using a cream separator. After cooling, mixing and pasteurizing your buttercream, the churning process separates it into buttermilk and butter grains. Then, mix butter grains with salt and use a butter churner to mix the ingredients again, before shaping begins using butter molds. Which butter-making equipment can improve your process?

Yogurt makers start with raw milk from animals like cows and goats and produce yogurt by standardizing milk, reducing fat content and increasing total solids before pasteurizing to remove harmful bacteria. After pasteurization, the milk undergoes homogenization to make it smoother and more consistent. The milk then receives yogurt cultures, and the product undergoes a fermentation process. Finally, you can cool and refrigerate the yogurt and prepare it for packing.

Industrial autoclaves are hermetic containers that kill microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and spores by using steam under high pressure. The steam is pumped at a higher pressure than normal atmospheric pressure to reach a temperature of 121–140 °C. As steam is pumped into the main chamber of the autoclave, it replaces air and creates a vacuum seal. The pressure vessel kills pathogens and microbes, but industrial autoclaves may also be used to reinforce composite materials, and laminate surfaces. Sensitive products such as foods and pharmaceuticals typically use wet steam autoclaves to sterilize containers and instruments because moisture can penetrate tight areas. But other applications, such as wood treatment or rubber vulcanizing, may also be subjected to dry steam techniques.

Pasteurization Equipment

The Pasteurization process is the method of subjecting liquids to mild heat at a specific temperature and time, and quickly cooling them down again in order to destroy pathogens in your fermented or semi-fermented products. Thus, increasing the shelf life of the manufactured products. Untreated microorganisms may lead to diseases, spoilage, or unwanted fermentation. Most pasteurization equipment operate in a continuous method using plate heat exchangers to keep a uniform level of high efficiency sterilization.

A cheeseboard demonstrates the different possibilities that milk and dairy can take. There are hundreds of recognized cheese recipes worldwide, but the main ingredients remain the same: milk, fermenters, salt, and time. Cheese manufacturers combine these elements to craft unique flavors, aromas, and textures. Advanced cheese making equipment provides better control over these elements to create ever more diverse cheeseboards.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

The building blocks of matter have driven the imagination of philosophers, scientists, and artists for millennia. But, for manufacturers, these elements have a more concrete existence as powders. Powder processing technology conditions these primary materials to create a vast range of products, from chemicals and foods to pharmaceuticals and ceramics.

<span style="font-weight: 400">The heating process is a step of raising the temperature of food, pharma, cosmetics, and many other types of products. You may employ different heating solutions for this process, depending on the type of product you intend to manufacture. Selecting the appropriate heater machine for your product is quite important since various products require different ranges of temperatures and different ways of heat transfer using exchangers. Industrial heating equipment varies in two ways - the type of material it can process and the reaction you want to achieve.</span>

Heating

Industrial sterilization processes are employed in different industries to completely eliminate all living microorganisms from the final product. For instance, in food processing, sterilization equipment is used to produce a stable product with a long shelf-life by eradicating harmful bio-contaminants. Instead, in the medical field, sterilization technologies aim to prevent the transmission of microbes to patients by sterilizing all the tools and medical devices that come in contact with the patient. Most sterilization equipment, such as autoclaves, employs high-temperature pressurized steam to destroy bacteria and disinfect surfaces from spores. Other methods include radiation sterilization or using chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide for disinfection.

Chocolate milk is a beverage containing milk flavored with chocolate powder or chocolate syrup. Cocoa powder, sweetener, sugar, and carrageenan are mixed with the milk and then pasteurized. As cocoa powder has a higher density than milk, carrageenan is used as a thickening agent to prevent cocoa powder from settling to the bottom.

Although the first association with almond milk might be the modern plant-based lifestyle trend, it is dated even back to the Middle Ages when it was used as an alternative to cow milk during Catholic fasting. Once harvested, almonds undergo a series of treatments in almond milk manufacturing equipment, such as bleaching, peeling, and grinding, to get the delicious final product for breakfast and desserts.

Making ice cream is all about mixing and homogenizing. First you need to blend, pasteurize and standardize your mixture. Then store it in tanks and freeze and aerate the mix until it reached the right consistency. Now you can add fruits, cookies and other solids if you like. In the final step the mix goes through an air blast hardening machine and it's ready to store and ship.

To produce condensed milk, you need to remove a large portion of the water content from the milk. Usually, you add sugar to it to create a sweet flavor. First, milk is standardized and pasteurized. Then, it goes through an evaporation process to remove the excess water content while sugar is added. After that, the mixture undergoes homogenization. The condensed milk is cooled and crystallized before being ready for packaging.

Milk can be consumed as a stand-alone product (whole, low-fat or skim) or can be the starting point for food industry products such as cheese, butter, yogurt, condensed milk, and ice cream. In order to process milk and other dairy products, you need specialized dairy production equipment which then encapsulates different processes such as pasteurization, homogenization, and fermentation.

Dairy

Whether it is marmalade or pizza, sauce or hummus, chocolate or fruit puree, most food products undergo a cooking step during their production process. Cooking is nothing more than applying heat to food, but there are different methods to do it. For instance, baking, frying, and roasting involve cooking food without using water, unlike boiling or steaming. Industrial cookers such as vacuum and pressure cookers, industrial fryers, industrial ovens, and industrial roasters focus on specialized applications that meet the different needs of the food industry by helping producers achieve a homogeneous cooking process.

Cooking

Industrial cooling equipment varies according to the consistency and temperature conversion demands the material you are handling, but the process typically involves heat exchange treatment as your products are conveyed through a cooling chamber equipped with extraction fans or circulating water. Temperature control is a crucial aspect of your commercial production and cooling systems are applied to a range of industries.

Cooling

Manual processing of dairy products can cause inconsistent quality between batches due to possible differences in parameters such as pasteurization

<h3>Combine fermenters and salt to transform milk into cheese</h3>
Cheese demonstrates the different possibilities that milk can take. There are hundreds of recognized cheese recipes worldwide, but the main ingredients remain the same: milk, fermenters, salt, and time. Cheese manufacturers combine these elements to craft unique flavors, aromas, and textures. Advanced cheesemaking equipment provides better control over these elements to create ever more diverse cheeseboards.

During fermentation, bacteria consume the lactose content in milk and convert it into lactic acid. This process of acidification reacts with the casein, causing it to curdle.

The right starter culture depends on the type of cheese you want to produce. A mesophilic culture is best suited for making a cheese that forms in moderate heating (between 30°C and 39°C), such as gouda or cheddar. Hard cheeses like parmesan and challerhocker require thermophilic bacteria that can withstand temperatures up to 55°C.

Ferment milk with cultures that can handle the processing temperature 

Much of the characteristic texture of cheese can be traced back to the curdling process. Traditional cheese makers added biological rennin taken from nursing ruminants to break down the protein in acidified milk.

Vegetarian rennet is manufactured by genetically modifying bacteria to cause them to produce a protease equivalent to that found in young mammals. The rennet inactivates the casein leading the milk to coagulate and whey to drain out.

Substitute animal-derived protease with lab-grown rennet

<h3>Cut the curdles to increase their surface area</h3>
Cutting technology is critical to cheese production. After solidifying, the milk is cut into smaller curdles to let out more whey. Cheesemaking equipment slices the curds down in different directions, increasing their surface area with each cut.

The smaller the pieces, the more whey they lose, so harder cheeses are cut down more finely. Softer cheeses retain more moisture, and the coagulant is kept in larger pieces.

Every cheese style has its processing method. A pecorino will be cooked and stirred to release as much water content. A mild cheese like fontina is washed repeatedly to move out moisture.

But whatever the technique, the curd is finally subjected to whey treatment to drain the protein. Cheesemaking equipment like presses and compactors force the liquid to ooze out. The byproduct is collected and <a href="https://making.com/whey-protein" target="_blank" rel="noopener">processed into whey protein</a> for separate applications.

Pass the curds through whey treatment to remove unwanted protein

<h3>Select cheesemaking equipment for salting according to the product consistency</h3>
Many cheese recipes include herbs and spices, such as <a href="https://making.com/halloumi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dried mint in halloumi</a> or habañero chilies in pepper jack. All cheese formulas, however, contain salt.

<a href="https://making.com/salt">Salt is not a taste-enhancer as much as a preserving agent</a>, halting fermentation. In hard cheeses, salt is sprayed onto the mix during milling. The curdles are further reduced before being compacted into ripening molds.

In the case of fresh cheeses, salting is done in a brine system. The curdles are placed in the saline solution containing calcium chloride, non-iodized salts, and vinegar to soak in the minerals. The processing equipment required to produce cheese usually remains the same, even if the type of cheese you want to make will be different. Typically the equipment is stainless steel and consists of a cheese press, cheese vats, tanks, homogenizers, heat exchangers and mixers.
