Product overviewSemi-automatic system for forming curd blocks by draining and controlled pre-pressing. After cheesemaking, the curd–whey mix is transferred to the drainage table by gravity or a curd pump. Perforated walls allow whey to evacuate while curds remain. Manual press plates actuated by pneumatic cylinders perform a four-step pre-press, consolidating the curd bed before cutting.
