Make demoulding easy
Extracting cheeses from the moulds after pressing is an easy step to mechanize.
An automatic machine makes demoulding of cheeses an easy task
The demoulding machine is a workstation that handles the removal of the lid, the extraction of the cheese from its mould, and the routing of these 3 pieces to the right place.
Tecnical demoulding machines are versatile stations that process a large number of moulds per hour. We also have solutions for manual demoulding.
The demoulding sequence
Mechanized demoulding step by step.
Out of press
The mould is conveyed to the demoulding machine by a central conveyor.
Lid removal
A clamping system grabs and lifts off the lid, transferring it to a parallel conveyor.
Cheese extraction
A suction cup uses the vacuum effect to extract the cheese from the mould and detach it from the mould walls. Then, it places the cheese on an outfeed conveyor.
Mould washing
Moulds and lids are inverted and sent to a washing tunnel.
The advantages of automated demoulding
A demoulding station can be configured to be fully autonomous when integrated into an automated line. Depending on the demoulding speed, the level of automation will vary but will always provide the same advantages:
Ergonomics
Demoulding is a strenuous step for the cheesemaker, and automated demoulding makes it less demanding.
Preserving cheese integrity
Automated demoulding allows for gentle extraction of the cheese, avoiding damage to the surface.
Longer mould lifespan
Automated demoulding prevents shocks to the mould and preserves its integrity.
In details
There are several techniques for demoulding. We use vacuum extraction, it is the best way to ensure the integrity of the cheeses.
Compressed air saving
Allows savings of compressed air and energy consumption.
Hygiene
The demoulding machine is a washable solution and avoids the risk of cheese contamination from blown air.
Respect for the cheese
A demoulding head adapted to the shape of the cheese, and easy to change, makes cheeses with well-closed rinds ready for brining.
