Mode of operation for white cheese fermented by culture addition
The plastic cups are placed in the cup magazines from where they are dispensed onto the filling conveyor, which will move them stepwise under the slip spray station, the filling station, under the antifoam spray and into the pushover station at the inlet of the coagulation conveyor. The coagulation time depends on the type of cheese to be produced but is normally from 20 to 30 minutes. At the end of the coagulation conveyor the cups will be moved row by row to the transfer conveyor leading to the inlet of the Rot-O-Min packing machine. In the packing machine, the cups with the now coagulated cheese will be moved to the following stations:
Membrane dispenser, where a sterilized membrane is placed on top of the coagulated cheese. Dry salting unit, dosing an adjustable quantity of fine salt on the foil. Lid dispenser, dispensing a sterilized plastic-foil on the cup and point welding it in order to keep it in position during the move to the heat sealing station. Heat sealing, for complete sealing of the lid-material. Date coder, for ink coding on top of the lid-material.
