GEA offers overturnable cradle cheese making vats with capacities of 3,000 – 5,000 liters
Versatile cheese making vats from GEA enable curd coagulation and maturation either in whey or out of whey, at precisely controlled temperatures. The machines are constructed with a curd churner that incorporates electro polished blades and stirrers, to ensure that the complete mass of curd is cut and mixed at each turn. At the end of the churning and maturation cycle, the curd is tipped out into drainage trolleys, and any remaining whey is removed. The complete cradle surface is equipped with a steam- or water-heated jacket, to either cook the curd or to maintain a steady temperature.
GEA cheese making vats are constructed to comply with the highest hygiene and sanitization requirements. Internal rotary sprinklers are connected to a cleaning-in-place plant. The framework of the machines is constructed from AISI 304 stainless steel, and all seals are made from food-grade materials.
