An ongoing focus on efficient water use by Tetra Pak has led to the development of more cost effective, environmentally friendly cheese production equipment, that is currently being installed by an experienced team of contract engineers.
Tetra Pak says the launch of its Tetra Tebel Casomatic SC 7 device can specifically meet needs for more efficient cheese and whey production without compromising quality.
According to the manufacturer, the latest generation of its Tebel Casomatic has been designed to reduce maintenance downtime during production by improving Cleaning In Place (CIP) processes and reducing freshwater use. All other maintenance, either proactive or reactive is carried out by the mechanical engineers, again with minimum disruption to production.
ed as an example of an area that the machine can reduce, with estimates from the company suggesting cuts of 95 per cent were possible through more sensitive weight accuracy.
“Tetra Tebel Casomatic SC 7 helps the producers in the semi-hard cheese segment make superior quality whey and cheese with better accuracy when it comes to product properties like moisture content and weight,” states the manufacturer.
Although the new system will be more expensive then previous generations of the equipment, Tetra Pak says that cost efficiency modifications made to the design could ensure reduced payback time for manufacturers. And that coupled with the outsourcing of the engineering team, reduces overheads again for the company.
