Cheese production is an ancient art that requires passion, dedication, and a deep understanding of traditional techniques. In particular, cheese washing plays a fundamental role in the quality and organoleptic characteristics of the final product.
In the past, this process was carried out manually, by immersing the cheeses in brine or water and rubbing them with brushes or cloths, resulting in a laborious and time-consuming process.
Today, thanks to the advent of modern technology, cheese washing is mostly carried out with the aid of cheese washing machines. These automated machines ensure uniform and thorough cleaning, optimizing production times and minimizing labor.
Aware of the importance of washing in cheese production, we have developed a range of cheese washing machines that stand out for the high quality of the materials used, technological innovation, and attention to our customers’ needs.
Cheese washers are used in the dairy industry for the industrial washing of cheese. This process is essential for eliminating bacteria, mold, and other impurities that can accumulate on the surface of cheese during aging.
The washing systems are designed to treat different types of cheese without damaging them. Through the use of controlled pressure water jets, waste can be effectively removed, ensuring that the shape of the cheese remains intact.
After washing, drying is a crucial step. It is a fundamental process for preventing the proliferation of new bacteria, as effective drying ensures that the cheese retains its characteristics and optimal texture.
When using our machines, the cheese will not suffer any significant weight loss. This is essential for maintaining the integrity and commercial value of the cheese.
Industrial cheese washing machines use advanced technologies to ensure the effective removal of residues and contaminants, while complying with food safety regulations.
Conveyor tunnels are an integral part of cheese washing systems, facilitating uniform and continuous washing of cheese wheels. These systems allow for high-volume production with high efficiency.
The use of clean water, without detergents, guarantees effective and sustainable washing. The constant renewal of water in the system ensures that each cheese is treated in optimal conditions.
The technologies used in our machines are designed to optimize energy consumption, helping to reduce operating costs and ensure a greener and more sustainable production process.
Cheese washers are automated washing machines that guarantee effective and gentle washing, using only clean water to remove waste and impurities without damaging the product. These machines are equipped with high-pressure washing systems, manually adjustable between 20 and 100 bar, and it is also possible to integrate an automatic sanitizing system with hydrogen peroxide, such as Sanivelox, for further disinfection.
In the dairy sector, it is possible to wash cheeses such as Parmigiano, Pecorino, Montasio, and Asiago. These cheeses, being aged and hard in consistency, can withstand water pressure without being damaged. Our systems, in particular, can process wheels with a diameter of 120 to 350 mm and a thickness of 40 to 300 mm, handling one wheel of cheese every 6 seconds.
The machines in the BLF series are designed to offer versatility and control in the cheese washing process. They can be adapted to work with different sizes and types of cheese, always ensuring maximum effectiveness and delicacy.
The machines offer the possibility to adjust the washing pressure from 20 to 100 bar, thus allowing the process to be adapted to the specific requirements of different types of cheese.
The minimum clearance removed from the mold diameter is between 60 and 300 mm. The mold is held in place and rotated on the spot to ensure uniform washing.
The washing times are fully adjustable, allowing you to optimize the process based on the size and type of cheese, as well as specific production requirements.
The BLF series cheese washers are the ideal solution for those seeking efficiency and precision in cheese processing. The BLF 300 offers both washing and drying functions, while the BLF 150 can be configured to include drying if necessary. Both models operate with clean water, without the use of any detergents and without any physical contact between the wheels, to prevent any possible contamination and maintain the weight of the cheese unchanged.
