Cottage Cheese Systems
Kusel Equipment has the equipment to take your cottage cheese production to the next level in terms of product quality, consistency and profitability.
LI Vats & Agitators:
Kusel's LI Vats are unquestionably the strongest in the industry today. The heavy internal construction of Kusel's LI Vats assures a vat in which the side rails will stay "true". Kusel's LI Vats are unique in that they have straight sides which results in a slightly increased capacity over other vats. In addition, Kusel's LI Vats employ the Elips-E-Stir Agitator, which provides elliptical vs. vertical agitation and is gentler on the tender cottage cheese curd during production. The are NO sliding joints or sleeves on the agitators as with other manufacturers. The vat is designed and built to 3A Sanitary Standards. Heating is usually accomplished by a tubular heat exchanger mounted in the agitator track, although it could be mounted below the vat or remotely on a wall. The main control panel for the agitator carriage can be mounted on the carriage or remote on a wall. Each agitator has separate VFD's for stir and traverse speeds.
The vats can be provided as fixed or with a hydraulic lifting device at the rear to facilitate unloading.
Drainer/Washer/Cooler:
Kusel's Drainer/Washer/Cooler is a unique piece of equipment, which drains the whey and cools and washes the curd by means of a counter flow of cold water. The curd is moved through this cool water by means of a specially designed auger, which gently lifts the curd and repositions it in the water. The curd is separated and uniformly cooled.
After cooling, the water is recycled through a UV system to a plate cooler and retained in a reservoir. Typically, if the curd is washed in the vat, 2 to 3 times the vat capacity is employed in washing each vat of curd. With Kusel's Drainer/Washer/Cooler the total water usage per day for this step in the process can be reduced dramatically.
Drainer/Creamer:
The Kusel Drainer/Creamer receives the cooled and washed curd from the Drainer/Washer/Cooler. Final draining of the curd is accomplished and the cream added. Each Drainer/Creamer is mounted on load cells to assure accuracy and consistency of the cream added.
The Drainer/Creamer units are typically sized to accommodate the production of creamed curd from one 4000-gallon vat.
Once the cream is added, the creamed curd may be transferred to the cup filler or stored in the Drainer/Creamer as the production schedule permits.
