Discover how a cost-effective filtration solution ensured optimal salt bath conditions and consistent product quality for a leading UK cheese supplier.
Filterquip was approached by a cheese producer in the Southwest to help with expansion plans for their cheese production line. The cheese is used by a range of UK premium pizza restaurant chains.
The application was to maintain an extended salt bath in optimal condition.
Cheese is salted for several key reasons: it acts as a natural preservative, enhances flavour, controls microbial growth, and influences texture. Salt helps to inhibit the growth of undesirable bacteria and moulds, extends the cheese's shelf life, and contributes to the unique flavour profile of different cheese varieties.
From first-hand experience, we have seen this achieved via membranes and automated filter systems, but both are expensive for the size of application we encountered.
Filterquip utilised Amafilter Bag Filter Housings in SS316 with Global Filter Food Certified Filter Bags to achieve the desired results. The relatively low-cost solution has been successfully implemented and operational for over 6 months.
The results are clear to see with a clean and clear salt bath and consistent product quality.
Amafilter Housings are manufactured in the Netherlands and are available on short lead times.
Global Filter Bags, manufactured in Europe, are Food Certified and offer Halal and Kosher certification.
