This technique is used particularly in the case of very fragile curds, cheese in « faisselle » or some other soft cheeses (AOC = designation of controlled French origin, camembert or brie de Meaux).
Two principles :
Moulds are filled up manually with a laddle (with mechanical assistance)
Moulds are filled up automatically by a robotized laddle.
technical features
Assisted manual moulding :
The vat and the multi-mould are moved mechanically to the working station.
Automatic moulding with laddle :
A laddle or multiladdle comes into the vat, draws some curd and puts it in successive layers into the multi-mould.
This is a multiaxle moulding robot (stainless steel).
