Working with a moulding tower

The step-by-step process.

1

Curd input

When the curd is ready in the vat, a pump sends it into the tower. A part of the whey can be pre-drawn into the vat.

2

Filling

The columns are filled with curd under whey or from above by a continuous whey/curd filtration system.

3

Pre-pressing

The columns' perforation and the whey level in the pre-press chamber allow the control of the pre-press cheese's moisture.

4

Moulding

A double gate system cuts the pre-press cheese at a precise weight and places it into the mould.
