Tetra Pak® Mould Handling System är en avancerad lösning som används för pressning och formning av halvhårda och hårda ostar i stängda pressar med komplett form- och lockhantering.
Funktion
Ostmasseblocken, som lämnar den avrinnande formningsutrustningen, samlas upp i en form. Efter att formen täckts med ett lock med hjälp av lockplaceringsenheten transporteras formarna till den slutliga pressningssektionen i stängt utförande där ostblocket pressas för att forma osten och bilda en enhetlig kant runt osten genom en gradvis ökande presskraft. Efter den sista pressningssektionen tas ostarna ur formen i formurtagningslinjen och transporteras till ett insaltningssystem. Formarna och lockenvänds upp och ner innan de rengörs av sköljmaskinen och är redo att återanvändas.
Tetra Pak Mould Handling System är PLC-styrt. De stängda slutpressarna rengörs på plats.

Multiple mould formats
Flexible Mould Handling systems are available if you want to produce cheeses of different shapes. The mould handling including the Laude moulds areas designed in such a way to handle different mould types in one Mould Handling system. Cheese mould types what are not in production can be stored in the storage unit.
Individual pressing
In this system, the pressing plates are activated by individual pneumatic cylinders. This means that each cheese receives the same pressing force, resulting in an even end product quality.
Enclosed presses
The presses are enclosed, which helps maintain a stable production environment with regard to temperature, moisture and hygiene. For cleaning, all the moulds are removed from the line and stored separately. The enclosed presses make it possible to employ efficient CIP cleaning – which maximizes uptime.
Dual-level cleaning tunnel
The moulds and lids are conveyed into the cleaning unit after each use. The cleaning process begins with pre-rinsing, using water from the previous final rinsing. Main cleaning then takes place, maintaining a stable temperature and concentration of cleaning agents. The last step is final rinsing with fresh water, to ensure that all the detergent is removed. This water is then led back to the start of the cycle for use in the next pre-rinse – thereby reducing water consumption. The tunnel itself is cleaned after each production cycle. The capacity of the cleaning tunnel is adapted to match line capacity.
Mould storage unit
When the equipment needs to be cleaned or when different mould formats are being used, the moulds are removed and stored in this unit. Built on several levels, this storage unit makes efficient use of the space in your plant. And with one shelf per level, the moulds are kept safe.
