Features

Tipping weirs

Minimizes losses of fat and fines

Curd is fed gently from the in-feed header system, via two inlets, into the tipping weir. From there, it flows evenly across the full width of the screen. This gentle process and even distribution contribute to minimizing losses of fat and fines. The weir can be programmed to empty periodically, ensuring that curd is completely cleared at user-specified intervals.

Fines-reduction belt

Fines-reduction belt

Reduces losses, maintenance and facilitates cleaning

The machine’s self-tensioning, self-tracking belt consists of a series of moulded polypropylene sections that are linked together with plastic pins. The flat rigid surface of the belt allows for agitation of the cheese, while generating minimal fines. The polypropylene material prevents curd from sticking to the belt surface, and enables fast and easy cleaning.

Wedge wire screen

Wedge wire screen

Highly efficient whey removal

The wires on this screen have a specially designed triangular cross-section, which removes the maximum amount of whey, while allowing the curd to pass. It separates the whey so efficiently that the curd is almost fully de-wheyed before reaching the bottom of the screen.

CIP isolation

Maximize production with shorter cleaning time

To maximize production during CIP, the machine can be configured with a CIP isolation device, allowing production to continue on the lower belt while washing the upper belt.
