Cheese making equipment

An agricultural cooperative in the Republic of Dagestan is developing milk processing and broadening its range: in addition to traditional brined cheeses, it decided to make processed cheeses and cheese spreads. The new line required professional melting equipment, and the choice fell on equipment from the Milberg factory.

In April 2025 the cooperative received an SP-100 cheese melter with a working capacity of 100 litres. The unit heats cheese mass with emulsifying salts and kneads it to a completely uniform consistency; control of temperature and agitator speed makes it possible to run different recipes — from firm, sliceable processed cheese to soft spreadable pastes.

For the cooperative, the cheese melter also solves a second important task — processing the cheese trimmings and substandard product that inevitably arise in any cheesemaking operation. Instead of being written off as losses, this raw material goes back into circulation and becomes a sought-after product with a long shelf life.

The 100-litre capacity was chosen to match the cooperative's actual batches: the unit does not run half-empty, while leaving headroom for the range to grow. The food-grade stainless steel construction and removable agitator assembly make cleaning between batches easier, which is critical when recipes change frequently within a single shift.
