With more than 30 years of experience,SCAhas developed a range of ingredients and processing aids that help dairy producers: Salimix RIC, Salimix CAL, Salimix LG. With natural ingredients derived from milk, naturally occurring adjuvants, the selection of native lactic bacteria and the use of the Mediterranean production tradition, the final consumer is more protected and guaranteed.

Moreover, numerous technologies developed by the Italian company allow to reach internationally recognized quality levels. Salimix LG is a white granular powder ideal for the mineral salts balance of all the typical liquids in which cheeses are maintained (mozzarella, some fresh cheeses, Feta).

By achieving the correct pH value, surface defects such as yellowing, softening, peeling, and pulping can be avoided. Even Salimix RIC is a hygroscopic white granular powder, ideal for the mineral salts balance of whey and/or milk to produce whey cheeses, such as ricotta. Thanks to this processing aid, a delicate and perfect ricotta flocculation is obtained, respecting the soft structure, with a general improvement of the yield.

Ghidinimanufactures the electric steam boilers of the Maxi series, which can be coupled in multiple units to achieve higher production and a high degree of redundancy.

The features that all models have in common are versatility and simplicity of maintenance and use since they do not require a certified operator and can be installed close to the production process. They are available in different versions, with carbon steel wetted parts for technical steam or AISI 304/316 stainless steel.

该系列由四个模型,蒸汽output from 25 to 250 kg/h, electric power from 20 to 180 kW, operating pressure from 0.2 to 8.5 bar. Accessories such as condensate recovery tanks (in some versions they can be topped to the boiler to optimize spaces and connections), fixed or wheeled elevation frames; skid executions with water treatment and condensate recovery systems already connected and ready to use are available.

Electric steam boilers are ideal when other energy sources are not available or when electricity is self-produced by photovoltaic system.

Idrosafe Brine was born from the experience gained byIdroricerchein the treatment of food process fluids, with particular attention to the dairy sector. It is a revolutionary dynamic micro-filtration system dedicated to the efficient management of brine water in the cheese production processes.

Its use allows the regeneration of the brine, ensuring the elimination of pathogens and organic compounds, with considerable water savings and the preservation of the original recipe of the product. It autonomously manages the filtration and regeneration cycles of membranes – maximising their technical life and keeping negligible the presence of chlorides in the drains of the counter-washes – and automatically performs sanitization operations.

Thanks to these features, it ensures constant brine quality, regardless of the microbiological load coming in, while keeping energy consumption low. Idrosafe Brine is available for the treatment of flow rates up to 7.5 m3/h and is equipped with a remote-usable HMI panel, which can be combined with the main management systems on the market.

The ricotta drying plant developed byTred Technologyis available in two versions: Eco Min/F, with capacity of 45 cheese forms; Eco Evo/F, with capacity of 75 forms. The system consists of a stainless-steel processing chamber and a painted sheet metal exterior with hinged door.

The incoming and exhaust air is treated via adequately sized wall openings with diffusers that ensure its homogeneous distribution. The treatment with dehumidified air allows processing at low temperatures (from 10°C upwards), while maintaining the organoleptic properties of the ricotta cheese and reducing the drying time.

静态干燥防止模具我的形成n the maturing cells despite the insertion of new cheese every day. The ventilation system ensures that the air is evenly distributed over all the shelves. Continuous replacement of the process air preserves the product freshness. The PLC allows setting of three steps of temperature and duration of the work cycle, to be able to work any product, and to store recipes.

The ELC 100 safety light curtains focus on the essentials of what matters when safeguarding points of operation. Offered byLeuzefor applications with an operating range of up to 6 meters, the robust devices are perfect for cost-effective machine designs.

Thanks to their simple mechanical and electrical design, they are particularly easy to integrate and install. The multi-level alignment display ensures fast and optimum alignment and does not require prior knowledge. The housings are made of metal to ensure reliable operation.

These safety light curtains with resolutions of 17 and 30 mm offer reliable finger and hand detection. This allows small safety distances between the safety sensor and the point of operation to be realized. The device design makes them especially resistant to physical shock and vibration.

Other technical properties are: protective field length from 300 to 1500 mm in 300 mm grid; response time from 4.5 to 21 ms; connection by means of 300-mm cable with M12 connector, 4-pin; protection class IP 65; temperature range 0/55°C. The intelligent beam evaluation with object tracking allows the devices to operate reliably and avoid unnecessary shutdowns, even in demanding environments.

RS Tecnologymanufactures multi-purpose machines that produce jams, marzipan, almond and hazelnut paste, creams, ice cream bases, toppings, glazings, caramel, ganache, pralines, fruit jellies, puff pastry.

The operation is very simple: just pour the ingredients of the recipe into the bowl and seal it tightly. The robot starts its cycle that includes one or more of the following functions: cooking, concentration, cutting, mixing, homogenising.

For heating the robot does not require a steam generator, because it uses electromagnetic induction, allowing energy savings and ease of use. For the concentration phase it uses the vacuum generated by a liquid ring pump, while for cutting and mixing it uses different types of blades and tools mounted on the main shaft. The emulsifying head and the scraper mounted on the cover shaft are used to emulsify. Production volumes range from 4 to 210 l/cycle.

In the field of the automation of cheese-ripening warehouses, the recent merger between two leading cheese-ripening companies has aroused great interest.Autodophas integrated Cheesetech, the dairy branch ofClevertech.

A synergy that implements and refines the Autodop product range with wide-ranging, high-tech solutions, including automatic palletizing and depalletizing. Proof of this are the Kronos and Tender machines, which optimize work and maximize the performance and safety of warehouse personnel.

Kronos is a palletizer that automatically fills and empties cheese wheels pallets. Combined with the Ergon or Dioniso loaders-unloaders, it facilitates handling and eliminates the stress and hazards for operators making their tasks easier. Fast and efficient, it accurately moves the wheels in a small space, allowing automatic palletization between lanes; a unique device speeds up and simplifies pallet changes.

In the picture Tender with a capacity of 750 kg, safe self-driving vehicle that moves between the racks, handling the cheese wheels for the loaders/unloaders with its robotic arm. It carries the pallet where up to 15 parmesan wheels can be loaded or unloaded. Both have Industry 4.0 requirements for full operational interconnection with warehouse installations and technologies.

The great sales success of the new piston fillers has ledZilli & Bellinito insist on innovations in volumetric fillers. AS for the piston filler with horizontal valve, the idea is to also implement an automatic washing system (CIP) controlled by the PLC in the filler equipped with conventional nozzle.

通过这一创新,可以活化e directly from the touch screen a mechanical device that extracts the pistons from the cylinders. With this operation, an efficient washing cycle can be performed with quick and easy inspection of the seals. Many new accomplishments even for the concern also on the seamers.

The sturdy machine structure guarantees continuous performance over time. Today the range includes models with up to ten heads for high-capacity productions. These machines are suitable to seam all metal containers of cylindrical shape made of aluminium and tinplate, filled with food or soft drinks. The company’s technology also enables customers to increase the speed and simplicity of format change-over operations.
