Key issues for the cheese dairies are:
• improved stability
• improved process control
• better planning
• uniform quality
The ISO-MIX Mixing Technology is able to enhance the processes before and during coagulation and syneresis.
The ISO-MIX Mixing Technology can be used in the following processes:
|
•
|
Buffer tanks
Efficient mixing and pH-adjustment in buffer tanks by dispersion of CO2 – for instance by reducing the pH from 6.55 to 6.4.
This leads to
• optimum pH conditions for the enzymes
• faster and more stable syneresis, using less enzymes and rennet
• uniform coagulation time for each batch, resulting in a more efficient production.

Culture tanks
Efficient in-mixing of starter culture and other ingredients in culture tank. Generally, relatively poor mixing is often the case in these processes today.
De-aeration with N2 in culture tanks before adding starter culture (fermentation).

Rack brine baths
Mounting an ISO-MIX system at the bottom of the tank, and using it for careful mixing will provide
• faster exchange of the brine around the cheese, and thereby
• faster and more uniform salt absorption into the cheese.
