MOULD FILLING - SEMI HARD CHEESE

Mould filling for semi hard cheese varieties

The de-wheying and curd handling equipment e.g. pre pressing vat or tower are designed as mould fillers and the accuracy of filling is excellent.

The cheese moulds, made up of metal like aluminium alloy or plastic, can be easily cleaned in a tunnel washing system.

A special detergent should be used when cleaning the metal moulds to avoid black discolouration and the polyethylene type should be cleaned with an alkaline or acid detergent at 55 -72°C.

However it is recommended that an acid treatment should follow the alkaline wash in order to neutralize the latter compound.
