AUTOMATIC PLANT FOR GRANA PADANO CHEESE

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document outlines the automated process for producing Grana Padano cheese, detailing each step from milk reception to the final maturing stage.

Specifications: The facility includes 72 bell-shaped copper boilers, each with a capacity of 11 hectolitres. The raw milk is delivered by tank trucks and processed through two automatic separators, each with a capacity of 40 hectolitres, for cream separation and milk standardization.

Procedures:

Milk Reception and Standardization: Milk is transferred to separators for cream separation and fat standardization.
Heating and Coagulation: Milk is heated to the required temperature, followed by the addition of 'siero innesto' and rennet, ensuring uniform distribution.
Curd Processing: The curd is cut and cooked to the necessary temperature, then allowed to mature, during which curd grains settle at the boiler bottom.
Curd Extraction and Moulding: The matured curd is divided, briefly matured in warm whey, and extracted using electric hoists. It is then placed into moulds to form the typical Grana Padano shape.
Salting and Drying: The cheese undergoes dynamic salting and is transferred to warm rooms for drying before moving to the maturing room.

Key Equipment: The process utilizes self-priming pumps, automatic separators, electric hoists, and dynamic salting plants to ensure efficiency and consistency.

Critical Information: The document emphasizes the importance of maintaining specific temperatures and holding times during heating, coagulation, and maturing phases to achieve the desired cheese quality.
