O módulo do Sistema Tetra Pak® Casomatic SC7 permite produzir queijo e soro de leite de melhor qualidade e com mais eficiência do que nunca. O Sistema Tetra Pak Casomatic SC7 fornece um sistema totalmente automático e contínuo para drenagem de soro de leite, pré-prensagem, formação exata de blocos de queijo e envase modulado em uma sequência.
O Sistema Tetra Pak Casomatic SC7 é adequado para a produção de tipos de queijo duro e semiduro, mas ao adicionar uma tela de separação do soro do leite, tipos granulares de queijo também podem ser produzidos.
A alta capacidade por coluna é alcançada com a aplicação de um flexível sistema de drenagem do soro de leite. Na produção de um único tamanho de queijo, o Tetra Pak Sistema Casomatic SC7 é o mais adequado.
O Sistema Tetra Pak Casomatic SC7 oferece as seguintes vantagens:
Dimple jacket cooling
A dimple jacket is wrapped around the conical part of the buffer tank, cooling the curd/whey mixture during filling, residence and emptying. This slows down the acidification process, thereby limiting the degree of variation in moisture content of the final cheeses from beginning to end of batch.
Buffer tank design
Based on many years of accumulated expertise and experience, we’ve developed a buffer tank with the optimal inner dimensions and agitator to maintain an almost constant ratio of curd and whey and a constant curd particle distribution. This results in a curd mixture of uniform consistency to be fed into the casomatic system.
Drainage system
The drainage system is divided into three perforated sections, gently draining off whey at each step until the desired amount (according to the pre-set recipe) has been removed - in order to create a stable, compact curd block. A regulating membrane valve is used to control the flow of whey and ensure the optimal amount is removed. The gentleness of the process keeps the product intact and minimizes losses.
Whey circulation system
A whey circulation system keeps the curd fines in the draining section in motion and prevents sedimentation. Flow dividers minimize curd build-up on the flanges of the inserts, limiting the growth of microorganisms during production and enabling a shorter CIP cycle.
Curd block forming
Once cut from the curd bed, the curd block is gently transferred to the front of the machine. The mould is presented underneath the sluice plates, which open swiftly minimizing friction when transferring the block to the mould.
Automation system
Our advanced control software is programmed to continuously monitor production and minimize the effects of any unexpected disturbances on the line. Since the composition of cheese changes rapidly, it is important to compensate for any deviation in production by e.g. adjusting cutting height or cooling the buffer tank. The control system does this automatically, without the need for any operator intervention.
Conveyor
Presenting moulds to the columns, collecting curd blocks and transporting the filled moulds to the pressing system, the mould conveyor handles your product gently every step of the way. It includes a lifting buffering system to ensure the curd blocks land softly in the mould on the conveyor, and smooth transport from the columns to the presses.
Design da câmara de dosagem
A câmara de dosagem fechada foi projetada para permitir o fluxo do soro de leite em todas as direções, evitando o acúmulo de coalho. Este fluxo contínuo de soro de leite é aliado à lavagem periódica, a fim de minimizar o crescimento de bactérias e facilitar o escoamento da produção por mais tempo.
