Quick facts
The Tetra Pak® Curd Cooler is an advanced, highly automated piece of equipment used for cheese curd cooling in crumbled cheese lines. The cooler effectively cools down the curd without any damage during the cooling process, gentle product treatment with minimal product losses.
Capacity:
1000 l/h – 6,000 l/h
Applications:
Cheese varieties - crumbled tvarog, ricotta, adyghean
Efficient cheese curd cooling
- Cooling method that secures optimal cheese and whey quality
- Gentle curd treatment for maximum yield
- Precise control system for best efficiency
Features
Continuous flow cooling method
Secures best cheese and whey quality
Applying continuous flow cooling of curd and whey mixture brings substantial benefits. High bacteriological product properties due to cooling in the earliest possible process stage and no ambient air exposure is one of them. Minimal fat and protein losses as well as best product texture due to lack of mechanical elements causing potential curd fractioning is another.
Cooling water circulation loop
Minimized peaks of cooling water consumption.
Using three-way control valve allows continuous flow in the cooling water supply installation during equipment’s idle time. As the temperature build up does not take place, energy consumption peaks at startups are minimized.
Precise temperature control
Stable product outlet temperature
The system prevents fluctuations of product and cooling water inlet temperatures. This is achieved by collecting temperature readings from several measurement points and smart control loop design. The same data are as well used for clogging prevention.
