Finishing Vats

This equipment acts as a critical intermediate station between coagulation and molding. It receives the curd-and-whey mixture from the process vats (Double "O" type), allowing them to be freed immediately to start new batches. During operation, the system controls final drainage and acidification until the exact required moisture and dry matter levels are reached. Through a system of mixer/cutter arms with sharp blades that travel the full length of the vat and PLC-controlled pneumatic paddles, the curd is conditioned and mechanically transported toward the reducing mill or pneumatic transport system, ensuring a continuous and controlled flow to the next process stage.

Transform your cheese-making process through efficient separation of the maturation and drainage stages, ensuring repeatability in the final product and drastically reducing labor operating costs.

Finishing-Maturing Vat — general view of the complete system

•Production Cycle Optimization: By transferring curd to this unit for final maturation, the main coagulation vat is freed immediately, allowing an increase in daily batch frequency and overall plant productive capacity.
•Automation and Labor Reduction: The mechanized agitation, cutting, and transport system significantly reduces manual intervention, lowering labor costs and minimizing the risk of human error.
•Quality Control and Standardization: Guarantees final product consistency by mechanically controlling drainage and maturation, improving pH and moisture parameter repeatability from batch to batch.
•Scalable Capacity: Available in five nominal capacity configurations, from 600 kg to 2,000 kg, adapting to various production volumes with an efficient installed power of 7.0 KW.
•Line Compatibility: Designed to integrate seamlessly with pneumatic or mechanical curd transport systems, facilitating connection to the subsequent molding or stretching stage.
•Sanitary Design and Durability: Robust construction suitable for demanding industrial environments, with optimized dimensions (length from 6.90 m to 12.86 m) to maximize floor space utilization.
