Whey removal


Coagulation in dynamical vats

Whey removal station


Usually, part of the whey contained in the vats is sucked out before the mould-filling operation and even sometimes between two stirring units.

The device sucks out a given volume of the whey contained in the vat.

It is composed of a « basket » (its shape fitted to the vat and to the kind of curd) and a pump.

A pump sucks whey out. The volume of whey sucked can be adjusted either by a level probe or by an electromagnetic flowmeter.
