Solutions

Custom-designed solutions for the cheese industry

From the first process idea to a plant in stable operation, we develop the solution around your product, your production and your ambitions.

Seven solution areas

Find the entry point for your project

Some customers start with an entirely new plant. Others with a bottleneck, a new cheese type or a trial that needs to be scaled up. The areas overlap – and so do the projects.

01

Complete cheese lines

Integrated production lines developed around cheese type, capacity and degree of automation.

Finished production plant in operation at a cheese producer.

02

Turnkey projects

One integrated project process from feasibility study to documentation, commissioning and service.

Existing production plant in operation with conveyors and molds.

04

Optimization and retrofit

Improvement of existing plants with a focus on capacity, operation, hygiene and working environment.

Process module assembled on a common frame.

06

Process plants and CIP

Tanks, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, piping, instrumentation and cleaning brought together around the process.

From milk to ripened cheese

The whole process – and where the routes divide

The process is the same all the way to the cheese vats. From there, the cheese type determines whether the curd is pre-pressed under whey or drained before mold filling. Click a step to see the equipment.

  1. 01Milk reception and treatmentReception, silo tanks, pasteurizer and CIP (cleaning-in-place).
  2. 02Cheese vats and coagulationCoagulation, cutting and stirring according to cheese type.

Route A · Cheeses pre-pressed under whey

The curd is pre-pressed under whey. The mass is cut into blocks, filled into molds and final-pressed. Example: Danbo.

Route B · Cheeses drained and pressed without whey

The curd is drained before mold filling – on a drainage belt or vibrating screen. Then self-pressing, turning or final pressing. Example: Havarti.

  2. 04Mold handlingConveying, mold storage, turning, emptying and mold washing.
  3. 05BriningBrining systems, racks, cranes and rack washing.

Our starting point

The solution begins with the production

We do not start by choosing a standard machine. We start by understanding the production the equipment has to work in.

  • Product and cheese type
  • Process and capacity
  • Cleaning and hygiene
  • Staffing and workflows
  • Internal handling and conveying
  • Integration with existing equipment

How we work – from idea to stable operation
