Precision‑engineered coagulation vessels for consistent and controlled cheese production. The CASEUS Coagulation Vats are purpose‑built systems designed to deliver precise and repeatable milk coagulation across a wide range of cheese varieties. Their engineering focuses on process stability, curd integrity, and consistent product quality from batch to batch, meeting the demands of both artisanal and industrial cheese production. The optimized internal geometry of the CASEUS vats ensures uniform distribution of rennet and homogeneous heat transfer throughout the entire milk volume. This results in consistent curd formation, reduced process variability, and improved yield control during the coagulation phase. Integrated cutting and gentle agitation systems are configured to support accurate curd handling while minimizing fines generation and preserving fat retention. The CASEUS vat is a closed, horizontal‑axis cylindrical coagulation vessel, designed to process batch volumes from 528 to 5,283 gal (2,000 to 20,000 L) under sterile and fully controlled conditions. Manufactured entirely from sanitary AISI 304 stainless steel, the equipment features a hygienic design with smooth surfaces, no dead zones, and no sharp edges. CIP‑Ready Hygienic Design: The vats are fully compatible with automated CIP systems, allowing complete internal cleaning without manual disassembly. This ensures sterile processing surfaces, reduces downtime, and supports compliance with international food safety regulations, including Directive 89/392/EEC. PLC‑Based Automation and Recipe Management: Integrated PLC control allows precise programming of process parameters such as time, speed, and agitation profiles. Recipe‑driven operation eliminates operator variability and ensures consistent cheese quality across all production shifts.
