Product catalog summary
Highlights
  • Maximizes floor space usage.
  • Achieves desired core temperature quickly.
  • Superior salt absorption.
  • Maintains vat identity.
  • Preserves block shape and surface integrity.
  • Can brine a wide range of block sizes.
Application

The Tetra Pak® Brining system S is known for its superior cooling, reduced brine time, and efficient use of floor space. It is reliable and performs well with various cheese sizes, including Euro blocks, provolone, and big block Swiss.

Working Principle

The system uses brine cages with multiple shelves to float cheese blocks. As shelves fill, the cage submerges deeper into the brine tank. Fresh brine flows continuously, ensuring all cheese surfaces are exposed. After brining, cheese exits the cage and moves to packaging. Salt levels are maintained with an automated brine maker, and the brine is constantly cleaned, chilled, and circulated.

Main Components
  • Stainless steel tank and cage construction.
  • Brine cages sized for vat identity.
  • Inlet and outlet gates for cheese flow control.
  • Integrated lift beams with cage lifting system.
  • Stainless steel brine discharge conveyor.
  • Brine circulation system.
  • Cheese transfer flumes.
Control System

The system can include an Allen Bradley or Siemens control system.

Technical Data
  • Electrical power: 460 VAC, 60 HZ, 3 PH standard.
  • Hydraulic supply: 8 GPM @ 1200 psi (0.03 m3/min @ 83 bar).
  • Specifications may vary by installation.

Brining system S-1

Tetra Pak® Brining system S Highest efficiency mozzarella brining system Maximum use of floor space Achieves desired core temperature faster Superior salt absorption Designed to maintain vat identity Preserves excellent block shape and surface integrity Ability to brine a broad range of block sizes APPLICATION With superior cooling, reduced brine time, and maximum use of floor space, the Tetra Pak® Brining system S has a proven record of reliability and superior performance. This system is designed to handle a variety of cheese sizes including Euro blocks, provolone, 2.5kg, 6 lb., 20 lb., wheels, and big block Swiss as well as specialties. WORKING PRINCIPLE The Tetra Pak® Brining system S consists of a series of brine cages with multiple shelves into which cheese blocks are floated. As each shelf is filled, the cage is indexed deeper into the brine tank until it’s fully submerged. Brine constantly flows through the system to give cold fresh brine to all surfaces of cheese. After the required brine time, the cage is raised shelf by shelf as the cheese exits the cage and floats to the discharge conveyor. From there the cheese is conveyed to packaging operations. The system maintains precise salt levels through the use of an automated brine maker. Brine level is held constant and the brine is continuously
