Industrial whey separation to eliminate manual variability and standardize final block weight The Draining Drums for Fresh Cheese are designed as a compact, continuous processing system that automates whey separation and curd distribution with industrial precision, eliminating inconsistencies associated with manual handling. This solution integrates a perforated rotary draining drum with a fully mechanized filling system for multi‑molds, transforming fresh‑cheese molding into a controlled, repeatable operation. The curd enters the rotating drum, where efficient initial whey drainage takes place before the product is discharged into a receiving hopper. Within the hopper, a mechanized distributor and scraper system evenly spreads the curd over the filling plate, completely eliminating manual dosing errors. The downstream conveyor belt is synchronized with the filling station, positioning the multi‑molds with millimetric accuracy to ensure uniform filling and optimized cycle times. The result is consistent block weight, homogeneous curd structure, and reduced product losses, even at high production rates. The system operates as a closed unit, is fully PLC‑controlled, and is designed for clean‑in‑place (CIP) operation, ensuring high hygiene standards and minimal operator intervention. The Draining Drums for Fresh Cheese maximize yield, improve product consistency, and enhance process efficiency in modern fresh‑cheese production lines.
