Cheddar Type Cheeses

Whatever the cheddar-type product, APVhas a process solution tailored to the individual requirements of each.

APV's Cheddarmaster System has been developed for the continuous manufacture of cheddar type cheese. Capacities in the range of 900-12,000 kg/hour are possible.

The standard unit consists of the following key sections:

• Curd/whey separator pre-drain screen
• Draining conveyor
• Cheddar conveyors or Cheddar tower system
• Salting/mellowing conveyor

All Cheddarmaster equipment is designed for in-place cleaning and is designed to meet the requirements of USDA.

On a smaller scale, APV's Cheddar Table is designed for draining, acidification and salting of cheddar curd. The curd is then transferred to mould filling for pressing into round moulds or 20 kg blocks in the horizontal Cheddar press.

Whatever the product, APVhas experience in supplying equipment for the complete range of end-products and has the necessary in-depth process knowledge to obtain the desired quality.
