Visiting a Cheese Dairy which is producing 30 t/d

Recently we have visited a big cheese dairy in the south of Germany. This dairy is producing around 30 tons of cheese per day and is focusing on the production of Cheddar Cheese. During this visit, we have made some interesting footage of the processes which I want to present to you.

Recently we have been to a Cheddar Cheese production site and had the chance to take a look at the whole process, from milk processing all the way to packaging. We also used the opportunity to make some interesting footage. Which I will show to you in this blog post. To present the videos the best way possible I have divided them into three parts, according to the actual production process. Unfortunately, the evaporation process is not included in this three-step video series.

 

Step No. 1: Milk Processing

Let us start with milk processing. The first step is, of course, the reception of the milk when it is delivered to the dairy and the subsequent processing.
When the milk trucks release their milk into the milk storage tanks of the dairy, the milk is usually being processed shortly after that. In this step that the milk is being processed with a bactofuge, reduced in its fat content by separating the cream from the milk and pasteurized to eliminate further bacteria to extend shelf life. The video of this step you can see here.

The equipment is designed to process over 25.000 l/h, all manufactured by GEA Westfalia/Ahlborn. There is even a GEA Westfalia CSE bactofuge which is capable to process 60.000 l/h.

 

Step No. 2: Cheese Production

After milk processing, the next step is the actual cheese making process. This one is really interesting. Here you can see the production of Cheddar Cheese step by step, up to the point it is actually ready to be packed.
The three cheese vats have all a volume of 20.000 l, manufactured by Pasilac. To remove the whey from the cheese curd, this dairy is using a drainage belt. The pressing of the Cheddar is done with a Casomatic plant. The video of the cheese making process you can see here.

 

Step No. 3: Packaging

For the last part I want to show you the cheese packaging process. Here we have actually two different processes. The first one is the packaging of the big 18 kg cheese blocks and the second one is the packaging of small 3 kg bars.
The equipment that is mainly being used to pack the cheese is vacuum packaging and sealing machines by Cryovac. Apart from that weighing and labeling equipment by Leich und Mehl and cheese cutting solutions by Alpma are being used here. The video of the packaging process you can see here

 

I hope you found this post and the videos interesting. If you liked it I would be glad if you shared this with your colleagues and other people who might find this useful.
