CoagulatorProduction of cheese curd in the Coagulator has already become tradition: Inimitable curd quality.

MR FillerEspecially small cheese weights require short cycle times. A fast format-change guarantees flexibility. High hygiene standards are achieved by the inte-grated CIP-system, which is supplied by the customer’s existing CIP-unit.

Climate tunnelClimate tunnels are really interesting for influencing fermentation of the drain-ing cheese. Temperature can be controlled automati-cally. As a result standard deviation of end weights is improved.

Semi-automatic line with high flexibility. Curd preparation in up-to-date cheese vats. Max. capa-city up to 10,000 l/h. Filling with semi-automatic filler type AFE. A manual stack turner type MSW makes turning – even of

heavy stacks – easy and is very space-saving. Drainage and turning is done on floor level. Simple tanks for cleaning and brining complete the equip-ment. Cutting and wrapping is done fast and exact with modern ALPMA equipment.

Blockforms have great influ-ence on shape, dry matter and weight of the cheese. They optimize drainage, are easily stacked and need very few space. ALPMA Blockforms are sturdy, which is ideal for mecha-nised handling. They are constructed according to the latest hygiene know-how and are easily cleaned.

ALPMA can supply vats from 400 l for manual or partly mechanised plants. Thanks to the ALPMA modu-lar construction system the equipment can grow with

increasing demand. Existing components can be fully inte-grated. ALPMA – an investment into future for every stage of capacity.
