Karl Schnell FL / 261 + ZB / 670
Inline Cooker Line to pasteurise processed cheese heating from cold mix temperature to approx 85°C for filling or further processing. The line exists of
7. Buffer Tank
The buffer tank is used for temporary storage of processed cheese prior to further processing or filling. The product is maintained at approximately 15 °C to preserve quality and ensure optimal viscosity. This stabilizes the process flow, balances fluctuations in upstream and downstream operations, and helps maintain consistent product properties.

8. Inline Cooker
The inline cooker is used to continuously heat and process the cheese mixture from approximately 15 °C to 85 °C. During this step, the product is thermally treated and homogenized by a high shear mixer to have a optimum mixing of steam in the product and to to achieve the desired structure and consistency. This ensures efficient processing, uniform product quality, and a stable flow for downstream operations.
