Step 1: collect fresh milk in the processing plant
Most cheese is made from fresh milk. Therefore, the first step is to collect fresh milk in the processing plant.
Step 2: pasteurizer
The second step is to heat the milk, also known as pasteurization. Beyond has developed equipment for pasteurization of milk, namely pasteurizer.
3. Cheese jar
After filling the cheese jar, add the culture and rennet. Starter and rennet coagulate the protein to form a solid substance (curd) and leave water (whey). Beyond has developed equipment for this process: cheese barrel.
4. Preloading cylinder or vertical filling
Whey / curd is pumped into a preloading cylinder from which cheese of various sizes can be cut. These blocks then enter a circular cheese mold (or other shape). Beyond has also developed equipment for this part of the process: preloading tank and vertical filling.
5. Cheese press
The fifth step is to compress the curd. After cutting the curds of different sizes in step 4, the curd particles enter the cheese mold for compression. In this way, the water is discharged from the curd and most of the whey is discharged; Granular curd residue. This is the source of cheese roundness. At beyond, we have been able to manufacture and deliver many equipment for this process on cheese farms and larger processing plants. Therefore, we have rich experience in cheese press and cheese mold processing equipment.
6. Brine bath
The next step is to soak the cheese in salt water. This part of the process adds flavor to the cheese and improves its shape and texture. This extends the cheese. More about cheese brine.
7. Maturity
Finally, time ripens the cheese. This is done in the warehouse, where the temperature and humidity are very important. We do not provide such equipment, but we work closely with professional companies in this field. The ripening period of cheese ranges from four weeks to more than a year, and its duration determines the taste of cheese. The longer the cheese ages, the hotter it tastes.
Cheese production using production line equipment
These are the steps of cheese production. Each cheese factory has its own characteristics and creates unique cheese. We provide you with the best equipment. We use the latest technology and fully developed equipment.
