Process & Cleaning Technology
Efficient milk and whey processing is essential for successful cheese production. Kalt provides comprehensive solutions for milk reception, storage and treatment, as well as versatile systems for reliable cleaning.
Kalt cheese vats are available in customised designs for both traditional dairies and large-scale industrial operations. Their flow-optimised double-O shape ensures uniform curd treatment and high yield. The cheese vats are available in open and closed designs, depending on the desired level of automation and production requirements.
The patented Kalt cassette press automates the filling of cheese moulds with curd and the gentle pressing process. It is suitable for various formats and can be operated semi-automatically or fully automatically.
Kalt drainage systems support optimal cheese handling during the acidification phase. They include stacking systems, draining rack stacks, turning devices and other components for efficient draining and intermediate storage processes.
Kalt brining systems ensure reliable cheese cooling through integrated circulation, filtration and cooling systems, while keeping maintenance requirements low.
Our cheese curing and ripening storage systems offer modular solutions for cheese care and maturation, ranging from tubular racking for smaller formats and board racking for larger cheeses to maturation storage concepts designed for automation.
Kalt offers a wide range of special machines to increase efficiency in cheese production, including various cheese cutters (e.g. bar and block cutters), curd-filling tube assemblies and customised soft cheese production systems.
Kalt’s dairy automation solutions provide centralised control across the entire production process – from milk reception and cheese production to process tracking. They include customised control systems, centralised recipe management and the option to seamlessly integrate third-party systems into a unified platform.
