300 SERIES - FILLING & COAGULATION PLANTS FOR U.F. WHITE CHEESE

TREPKO's 300 series is an automated line for the filling and coagulation of ultra-filtrated (U.F.) white cheese. The line has been designed with flexibility in mind and provides the customer with a trouble-free solution to pack white cheese.

The 300 Series provides a fully automated filling and coagulation process. Depending on the production scale the lines are available in different sizes and achieve outputs up to 10,000 cups/hour for different product volumes.

The combination of mechanical and modern servo technology drives ensures a smooth and reliable production output. Some of the auxiliary movements such as heat sealing and cup separation etc. are driven pneumatically. A PLC controller with a user-friendly touch-screen panel manages all the control functions. Programming of the working parameters can be done directly from the touch-screen.

The 300 Series is a modern, flexible and economical option for packaging of U.F. white cheese. As a result, a user-friendly packaging is obtained therefore allowing the possibility of longer shelf life and opening and closing thus creating a new advantage to the product!

The Line consists of three basic modules:

• Filling module – responsible for the following functions: cup denesting, UV radiation of cups, anti-stick spray, concentrate and rennet mixing, filling of anti-foam spray and push-over to coagulation tunnel.
• Coagulation tunnel – cups are discharged from the tunnel and are transferred to an infeed conveyor taking them to the next module. Coagulation of the product takes 20-30 minutes.
• Salting and closing module – filled cups are placed on a rotary table and then salted. The cups are subsequently closed by a heat sealed foil and a snap-on plastic lid and then discharged onto a conveyor.
