MC300 - Steam cooker-stretching machine

Pasta filata cheese machine

Steam cooker and stretching has been designed and constructed for the production of drawn-curd cheese by means of steam melting, using fresh and frozen curd and various foodstuff ingredients.
Suitable for any product production even low or higher moisture; as mozzarella, kasar, kashkaval, pizza cheese, suluguni, provolone, loaf mozzarella,  and similar products.
The raw material to be processed is introduced into the chamber manually (option automatically by a feeding conveyor)  from an upper compartment of useful dimensions  for inserting a whole block of packaged curd. In the processing compartment, the transformation of the raw material into the stretched mixture, acquiring the right degree of fibrousnesses and the desired moisture, takes place thanks to the combined action of two counter-rotating augers of suitable dimensions (ø and length) and steam injectors (6) device. Each injector could be connected to a solenoid valve (optional) that gives consent to a piston for steam inlet opening-closing.
The steam injectors are assembled on the top of the processing section, to avoid any blocking or shutter of the steam outlet (due to contact with cheese mass).
The working temperature is controlled by a PT100 temperature probe.
The augers are easy to mount and assemble in order to prevent any leakage to the rear motor unit or to the seals from contaminating the mixture.
The augers have dual rotation movement, both forward and backward. The advancement speed of the augers can be adjust by inverter.
Product discharge by means of a compartment with pneumatic operation.
Parts in contact with food are coated in non stick Teflon.
Control board in SS304 box IP65.

For production of clipped and pizza mozzarella, kasar, kashkaval, suluguni any type of pasta filata cheese recipes.

Vat volume: 450 lt.
Processing batch capacity: 350kg/batch.
Made in stainless steel AISI 304, with parts in contact with the product  made in Stainless steel AISI316.
Any part in contact with product is completely covered by Teflon du Pont.
Cooker stretching machine opposite to traditional stretching machines, is able by mixing, to process cheese coming from raw material as casein etc.
It`s easy to have standard product though pre set recipe on PLC assembled on board.
Thanks to higher temperature inside cooing area, is possible to have a pasteurization treatment of the mass also.
The working temperature is controlled by a PT100 temperature probe.
The washing solutions loaded inside the processing compartment pass to the tank by means of a steam circulation system, which also guarantees total cleaning of the injectors.
The augers are easy to mount and assemble in order to prevent any leakage to the rear motor unit or to the seals from contaminating the mixture.
The augers have dual rotation movement, both forward and backward.
The advancement speed of the augers can be modified by inverter. Product discharge by means of a compartment with pneumatic operation.
Mechanical and electromechanical protections on dangerous areas.
Stainless steel platform.
