Automatic moulding
Precise and continuous dosing of drained
and pre-pressed curd into moulds.
For continuous moulding and consistent cheeses.
The moulding tower allows a continuous and automated mould filling with precise curd dosing.
Manufactured by Tecnical, this equipment allows the moulding of close-rind cheeses and pressed cheeses with mechanical openings. It is a very flexible solution suitable for a wide range of types and sizes of cheeses.
Working with a moulding tower
The step-by-step process.
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.
Filling
The columns are filled with curd under whey or from above by a continuous whey/curd filtration system.
Pre-pressing
The columns' perforation and the whey level in the pre-press chamber allow the control of the pre-press cheese's moisture.
Moulding
A double gate system cuts the pre-press cheese at a precise weight and places it into the mould.
Features
3 key advantages of working with a molding tower.
Yield
The tower allows a reduction of waste and better control of weights.
Flexibility
Fast format change to produce a wide range of formats and cheeses.
Production capacity
Continuous dosing possible for a dosage of up to 4,500 units/h.
In details
Draining pre-pressing and moulding.
Columns
Allows pre-pressing and gives the pre-cheese a shape close to the mould to limit deformation during pressing.
Moulding
Volumetric moulding by a double guillotine system allows to have a precise weight.
Cleaning
Connected to the plant cleaning system (CIP).
