Benefits
Machine for salting and mellowing cheese curd
Tetra Pak® Salting Mellowing Conveyor 2, working in conjunction with the Tetra Pak® Salt-Dispenser 2, provides the most effective method for achieving and retaining the required salt content in the curd. This method of salt application ensures optimum salt retention, lower salt usage, and a reduction of high-salt whey.
Quick facts
Machine for continuous salting of granular or milled cheese
Capacity:
Up to 16300 kg/hr (36000 lbs/hr)
Applications:
All cheese types
Other features:
Belt widths, lengths, speeds, and ratio of salt applications can all be varied according to need.
Optimal salt distribution and retention
- High product consistency thanks to even salt distribution and thorough mixing
- Set-up can be adjusted to produce a broad variety of cheese recipes
- Proven durability, based on decades of engineering experience
Features
Application specific agitators
Best curd control in the industry
After salt application, the curd is gently stirred by different types of agitators which are designed to ensure uniform salt distribution in specific applications. Stirring also allows the excess whey to be effectively drained from the cheese.
Salt distribution
Accurate salt application and retention
When matched with the Tetra Pak® Salt-Dispenser 2, salt is gently delivered by means of a controlled airflow. It is then applied uniformly to the cheese by specially designed nozzles. This highly controlled process minimizes salt usage and, in combination with thorough mixing, provides optimal salt distribution. Multiple salt applications result in longer absorption times, optimal salt retention, consistent cheese moistures. A low level of abrasiveness leads to fewer cheese fines.
Quality of materials
Long operational life
The salty cheese and whey can create a highly corrosive environment inside the machine. Over our many decades of experience, we have optimized our equipment design with the quality of materials needed to ensure a long service life and to meet your demands for durability and reliability.
CIP isolation
Enables shorter cleaning times
To maximize production during CIP, the machine can be configured with a CIP isolation device. This allows production to continue on the Tetra Pak® Salting & Mellowing Conveyor while upstream equipment is being washed.
