Machine Overview

Curd Filtration Drum 

Curd filtration drum is used to filter the whey in the curd coming from the cheese vat.
It has a perforated drum with a diameter of 1 mm. This drum rotates continuously and the curd that passes through the drum is filtered. During this process, the spiral pipe inside the drum enables the curd to move inside the drum.
Whey discharged from the drum is filtered into the tank below.
The filtered whey is sent to the curd boiling tank through the whey pump.
The capacity of the whey pump is selected by making flow pressure calculations for each enterprise.
The drum and boat are made to be easily removable and removable for easy cleaning.
The drum, whey tank, pipe connections and whey pump are made of AISI 316 quality material because they operate in an acidic environment.

 Curd Drum

It is used to filter the whey contained in the curd coming out of the cheese process tank.

A drum with holes of 1 mm diameter rotates continuously and the curd is passed through the drum and strained.  During this process, the spirally produced pipe inside the drum allows the curd to move through the drum.

The waters filtered from the drum drain towards the whey trough at the bottom.

The filtered whey is sent to the whey storage tank or, if it will be processed, to the curd boiling tank by means of a whey pump directly connected to the boat.

The capacity of the whey pump is selected by calculating the flow pressure for each business.

The drum and the boat are manufactured in a way that can be easily disassembled for easy cleaning.

Drum, whey tub, pipe connections, and whey pump are produced from AISI 316 quality material since they work in an acidic environment.
