A project for a demanding customer. The production process requires the raw material to be heated to temperatures above 100°C.

We supplied a 500-litre PLEVNIK SKH cheese vat in the top PRO specification. In this version, the heating output is 30 kW, allowing efficient heat treatment of the raw material. An advanced planetary gearbox and a control system with a colour touchscreen make the machine intuitive and pleasant to use.

The machine has a three-layer, insulated, energy-efficient, laser-welded main vessel made of AISI 304 / AISI 316 stainless steel. A plate heat exchanger and operation in a closed, pressurised circuit enable heating above 100°C.

An automatically controlled solenoid valve automates the heat-treatment processes: the machine itself meters the appropriate flow of cooling medium, water. This version comes as standard with a frame incorporating a mechanism for tilting the vat towards the outlet, making emptying and cleaning easier.
