The Primodan White Cheese Plant
CUP FILLING MACHINE FOR WHITE CHEESE/ UF FETA CHEESE
For filling UF retentate or recombined cheese milk mixed with rennet into cups under ultra clean conditions.
Primodan has delivered more than 60 white cheese plants worldwide to clients like Arla Foods, Lactalis, Almarai, Sütas, Ülker, Pinar and many other companies. Our expertise covers not only the filling lines but also the process and recipes for the production of white cheese, whether based upon an Ultra Filtration (UF) process or recombination of powder milk.
Mode of operation for white cheese fermented by culture addition
The plastic cups are placed in the cup magazines from where they are dispensed onto the filling conveyor, which will move them stepwise under the slip spray station, the filling station, under the antifoam spray and into the pushover station at the inlet of the coagulation conveyor. The coagulation time depends on the type of cheese to be produced but is normally from 20 to 30 minutes. At the end of the coagulation conveyor the cups will be moved row by row to the transfer conveyor leading to the inlet of the Rot-O-Min packing machine. In the packing machine, the cups with the now coagulated cheese will be moved to the following stations:
When producing cheese where the fermentation is not obtained by adding culture to the milk but by Glucono Delta-Lactone (GDL) acidification – the membrane dispenser and dry salt station are excluded from the above description. Optionally a brine dosing station can then be installed instead of the dry salting unit.
