Description

A workshop processing 500–600 L of milk per shift is the next step after a mini cheese dairy: milk is now transferred by pumps, pasteurized in a separate vat, and several cheeses are pressed at once.

The core is a VS-500 or VS-600 cheese vat with a heating jacket (electric heating elements or steam) and an agitator. Upstream are milk reception and cooling in a milk cooling tank, pasteurization in a VDP-500 or VDP-630 batch pasteurizer, and a cream separator for standardization. Milk is transferred between tanks by a milk pump. Downstream of the cheese vat are moulding tables, moulds and pneumatic presses.

This is how our customers grow: a private cheese dairy in the Sverdlovsk Region moved to a VS-500 when small volumes no longer gave enough batches per shift.

Price from €11,200. The final cost depends on the configuration, technical specifications and the tasks the equipment is selected for: volume and capacity, heating type, level of automation and options. Write or call us — our process engineer will select a suitable option and prepare a quotation within one business day.

FAQ

Is separate pasteurization needed?

At 500–600 L it is more convenient to pasteurize milk in a VDP batch pasteurizer: while a batch is being made in the cheese vat, the next batch is prepared in the VDP.

Which separator is needed?

Usually 500 L/h or more — these are the separators ordered from us most often. We test each one on water before shipment.

Can two smaller cheese vats be installed instead?

Yes, this is also done: two cheese vats give flexibility in recipes. An example is a cheese workshop set with two cheese vats in the Ulyanovsk Region.

Can I order just the equipment, without a building?

Yes. We supply an equipment set for your premises, or a modular sandwich-panel workshop with the equipment installed and connected, utilities and ventilation — it is placed on a foundation and connected.

How much does equipment for a cheese workshop cost?

A set costs from €11,200. The final cost depends on the composition, volumes and level of automation: our dairy process engineer will select equipment for your product, and we will prepare a quotation within one working day.
