BrineClearTM Cheese brine clarifier Cheese brine clarification Good quality brine is essential to cheese flavour, taste, rind, and appearance of the cheese. Poor brine, however, is a significant threat to the cheese quality and can lead to spoilage of the cheese and economic loss. Over time, microorganisms such as bacteria, spores, yeast, and mould will build up in the brine and be transferred to the cheese during the salting process. Eventually, heavily contaminated brine can lead to surface contamination of the cheese and degrade the cheese quality. Natural brine balance is maintained Plug-and-produce setup Safe, highly automated operation with data logging Embedded software User-friendly colour touch screen Low membrane replacement costs Considerable savings through re-use of brine Our unique filtration process, the BrineClear™, physically removes undesired microorganisms, leaving clear brine. No additives are used, and the brine temperature and pH remain unchanged during the entire process. The content of whey proteins, soluble salts (e.g. NaCl and calcium), and the chemical balance of the brine is unaffected. Clean brine with a green mind The BrineClear™ is easily connected to the existing brining s ystem, usually as a “kidney function“. It is, however, also p ossible to install the unit for continuous or batch operation, where the filtered brine is conveyed to a separate tank or bath. Reduced environmental load as a result of low energy and detergent consumption Highly efficient removal of undesired microorganisms As an environmentally responsible company, we have developed a new generation of BrineClear™ with extreme focus on green thinking. Our aim has been to apply environmentally friendly engineering solutions and utilize components with lower energy consumption
