Customised Cheese Processing Solution

 

Cheese has a long history in China. With the gradual increase in per capita disposable income and the growing diversity of food products, cheese has become increasingly popular among the general public. According to Euromonitor data, since 2017 the share of cheese retail sales in China's dairy consumption has grown year by year, reaching 2.77% by 2021, and is expected to maintain rapid growth in the coming years. In 2021, China's cheese output reached 373,000 tonnes while demand stood at 549,000 tonnes, with both output and demand increasing compared with 2020.

 

Cheese concentrates the essence of milk, and is known as the “gold of milk” in Europe and the United States. Rich in protein, calcium, fat, phosphorus, vitamins and other nutrients, cheese is also an ideal medium for microbial growth. As the cheese production process is relatively complex, it is susceptible to microbial contamination and spoilage during processing. The entire processing therefore requires strict temperature control between 2°C and 8°C. Storage of the finished product must also be maintained at 2°C to 8°C, because low temperatures cause the moisture in cheese to form ice crystals that puncture its tissue structure, turning it granular or powdery and affecting its texture and flavour. For this reason, cheese must never be frozen for storage.

| Processing Tunnel Cold Room

In the cheese processing line, the Eden side-blow series medium-duty unit cooler serves as the core equipment of the processing tunnel cold storage. Featuring Eden's unique pipeline design and forced circulation technology, it delivers uniform air distribution and minimal temperature fluctuation. As cheese passes through the tunnel on trays, the cooler creates a stable circulating airflow within the cold room, keeping the cheese in a stable state throughout processing and effectively inhibiting microbial growth.

 

| Hydrophilic Aluminium Foil Fins

In the cheese processing solution, the fins of Eden's side-blow series unit coolers are all made of hydrophilic aluminium foil, whose corrosion resistance, anti-fungal properties and odour-free characteristics create a clean production environment for the cheese processing line. In addition, the hydrophilic surface of the fins is coated with a corrosion-resistant film that allows condensate to spread rapidly across the surface instead of forming water droplets, preventing “water bridges” and “powdery frost build-up”, significantly retarding frost formation, improving the heat transfer efficiency of the cooler and reducing energy consumption.

 

| Overheat Protection Device

Excessively high electric heating temperature in the unit cooler can not only damage the heating tubes, but also increase power consumption. In low-temperature raw material cold room, all Eden side-blow series unit coolers are equipped with an overheat protection device. When continuous electric heating generates high temperatures, the device senses it promptly and stops the heating; once the temperature drops to a certain level, electric heating automatically resumes. The overheat protection device saves energy and lowers operating costs.
