    HYDRO-THERMAL

    HEATING SYSTEM FOR DAIRY PROCESSES

    The Hydro-Thermal EZ Heater Skid for Dairy is a fully integrated, plug-and-play steam injection heating system delivering precise, on-demand temperature control for critical dairy processes. At a Wisconsin dairy facility processing more than 1 million gallons of milk per day into fresh Wisconsin cheese, three EZ Heater skids are installed throughout the plant to heat CIP solutions reliably and efficiently. Powered by proven direct steam injection technology, the system provides instantaneous heating without scorching or fouling. Factory-assembled and tested, the compact skid reduces installation time and ensures dependable startup. The result is improved sanitation performance, consistent temperatures, reduced downtime, and maximum operational reliability, according to the company.

    CONVEYOR BELTS FOR CHEESE PROCESSING

    Intralox ThermoDrive technology combines flat, 100%-closed surface, homogeneous thermoplastic material with the positive-drive feature of modular plastic belting for the ideal solution for hygienic cheese conveyance, according to the company. Using a patented tensionless belt system, it helps cheese manufacturers simplify sanitation and optimize operational performance. ThermoDrive belts come with many accessory and configuration options, including scoops, flights, sidewalls, troughs and inclines. The solution can be used for the processing of blocked, sliced, cubed or shredded dairy products.

    HELP WITH COTTAGE CHEESE MAKING

    Kusel Equipment’s LI Vats and exclusive Elips-E-Stir Agitator enable dairy manufacturers to deliver the premium texture consumers demand in their cottage cheese. The units feature heavy-duty construction that maintains precise alignment for consistent, high-volume production, according to the company. The Drainer/Washer/Cooler also dramatically reduces water consumption through advanced UV recycling technology and increases whey recovery, while the Drainer/Creamer ensures the ideal cream-to-curd ratio in every batch.
