Gentle cheese grain pump led to big savings at Danish dairy

In a cheese factory, the cheese grains need to be moved from cheese vats to cheese moulds, which is typically done with a positive displacement pump. Cheese curds are soft particles and must be handled carefully to avoid breaking. If a cheese grain is broken by the positive pump, the remains will be collected in the whey filtrate and will not be worth much money compared to if the particles had remained in the cheese. Therefore, gentle handling of cheese grains is always preferable.

With Alflow's Jung Process Systems cheese grater pump, you achieve maximum gentle handling of your product. The rotating twin screw design provides a completely linear as well as laminar flow. Furthermore, the particles - in this case cheese grains - will settle between the screws and be passed through the pump without acceleration or deceleration and thus with minimal destruction of cheese grains. In this case, an Arla cheese factory was able to save 126,000 DKK per year.
