This system processes the ricotta obtained from whey through a three-stage cycle. In the preparation stage, the product recirculates to achieve a semi-homogeneous mixture where additional ingredients can be added. Subsequently, the mixture passes through a special homogenizer at a design pressure of 200 bar, refining the molecular structure to eliminate granular consistency and obtain a smooth, creamy texture. The result is a high-quality paste that integrates perfectly into pasta filata cheese production or is marketed as a high-protein spreadable product.
Maximize dairy solids recovery and reduce raw material costs by converting ricotta into a high-protein-value functional ingredient for premium cheeses and pasta filata.
HOMOGENIZATION AT 200 BAR — SMOOTH AND CREAMY TEXTURE
•High-Pressure Homogenization (200 bar): Modifies the physical structure of the cottage cheese to obtain a "Perfect Consistency" texture, allowing its incorporation into traditional cheeses without altering their sensory properties.
•Industrial Processing Capacity: Processes up to 500 kg per hour, allowing dairy plants to handle large volumes of by-product with an efficient energy consumption of 14 kW.
•Integral Protein Utilization: Allows using whey (by-product) to create a valuable ingredient without incurring additional raw material costs, increasing the dairy income stream.
•Compact and Sanitary Design: With dimensions of 2.48×1.86×1.43 meters, the module integrates easily into existing lines, complying with stainless steel cleaning and durability standards.
•Electrical Supply Flexibility: Configurable to operate at 220 VAC or 440 VAC (3 phases, 60 Hz), adapting to the specific electrical infrastructure of each industrial installation.
