Machine Overview
Repeatable turning of cheese moulds
The Cheese Mould Turner rotates or repositions filled cheese moulds in a controlled manner. This supports uniform whey drainage, consistent product shape and safer handling while reducing manual lifting during the moulding and pressing stages.
Engineering considerations
- Mould-specific holding and positioning arrangement
- Controlled pneumatic, electric or hydraulic movement
- Manual or automated operating sequences
- Safety guarding, sensors and emergency-stop provisions
Load capacity, turning angle and cycle time are engineered according to mould dimensions, cheese weight and line throughput.
