Salt dosing is a key stage in producing many types of curd cheeses. GEA offers a comprehensive range of equipment for the precise dosing and homogeneous mixing of either liquid or dry salt. We also offer a portfolio of direct and indirect steam water heaters for cheese processing, which can be configured to heat up to 2,000 liters of water to 90°C, every hour.
