SHEEP PROCESSING PLANT 1

Product catalog summary

Overview: This document outlines the process flow and equipment used in a sheep milk processing plant, specifically focusing on cheese and ricotta production.

Milk Receiving and Storage: Milk is received from tank trucks or cans and transferred to storage tanks using a self-priming electro-pump. It undergoes initial filtration and cooling via a plate heat exchanger.

Pasteurization: The filtered and cooled milk is moved to a balance tank and then to a pasteurizing unit where it is heated to the required temperature for a specified time.

Cheese Production: Post-pasteurization, milk is transferred to cheese vats where rennet and cultures are added for coagulation. The curd is then cut and processed into cheese shapes in the processing room.

Ricotta Production: Whey collected from the cheese moulding process is transferred to double bottom boilers for ricotta production.

Mould Washing and Cheese Salting: After moulding, cheese moulds are washed using a swirl mould washer. Cheese undergoes a salting treatment in a dynamic salting plant.

Key Equipment: The plant utilizes various pumps, heat exchangers, pasteurizing units, cheese vats, and mould washers to facilitate the production process.
