Quick facts
Machine for evenly distributing curd to block forming tower
Tetra Pak® Curd Distribution Tank (CDT) is used to mix and distribute an even amount of curd to each of your downstream equipment. Curd is either air blown or augured into the CDT from the draining/salting belt and is uniformly distributed to the block forming towers.
Capacity:
Supplied in a wide range of capacities to match your upstream equipment
Applications:
Cheddar
Optimal curd distribution
- Consistent product quality since the tank serves all block formers equally
- Small footprint (approx. 1 m2) thanks to unique Q-seal
- Filling sequence is activated only when there is sufficient curd in the tank, leading to economical operation
Features
Paddle
Evenly distributes the curd
The paddle revolves around the central cone of the tank, keeping the curd moving and ensuring that every block former is served with an even amount of product.
Patented Q-Seal
Protects the drive
This unique seal was originally invented for use in Tetra Pak® cheese vats, but is now also used in this tank. Thanks to a Q-shaped cross section, it creates a watertight connection between the cone and the shaft inside the tank. This eliminates the risk of leaked product interfering with the workings of the drive – thus enabling it to be placed directly beneath the tank, which in turn enables a smaller machine footprint.
Level sensor
Energy efficient operation
A sensor in the tank detects the level of curds, and only activates the filling sequence when there is sufficient product to start filling the block formers. This not only saves energy, but also prevents curd from cooling down.
