Processed Cheese Mincing and Blending line
Line for preparing a processed cheese blends.
Cheese - Butter blocks are minced/grinded, dosed and mixed with powders, cream, dissolved ingredients, recipe controled by weighing systems.
2 independed mixers with each their own buffer and outgoing product pump so it is possible to feed 2 cookers at the same time.

The blending section is designed for the homogeneous mixing of processed cheese ingredients. The blenders ensure thorough and consistent blending of the product, while the buffer tanks provide process continuity and controlled product flow to downstream processing. Integrated pumps enable reliable product transfer between the blenders, buffer tanks, and subsequent processing stages.
Blenders and buffer tank.
• 2 Ribbon Shaft Blenders
• Heavy execution
• CIP is cleanable by external CIP.
• Special ingredient inlets to pump in prepared liquid mixes and water.
• 2 Buffer tanks of 2.000 kg each (so more than a mix batch of buffer capacity!) with 2 augers, complete stainless steel.
• 2 Outfeed product outfeed pumps, Heavy duty Rotary piston pump Make: Waukesha model: 184U2
• Centrifugal cip return pumps, make: Fristam
• On load cells for weight indication both blender and buffer tanks.
• Lobbe pump to pump in cream or other liquid prepared products (added to KS system).
• Control panels with recipe control.
• Outfeed pipes to switch between the blender
6. Pigging system
The pigging system is used for product recovery from process pipelines. A pig (solid plastic plug) is mechanically pushed through the pipeline using air, water, or product pressure to remove residual processed cheese from the line. This minimizes product losses, improves hygiene, and reduces cleaning (CIP) time.
