Fully automated line for cheese production using ultrafiltration

This project was developed by Perinox for an internationally leading dairy company, with the aim of optimizing fresh cheese production through the integration of ultrafiltration (UF) technology and a high level of process automation.

The implemented solution enables the efficient concentration of milk fat and protein without losses, maintaining full control over product composition and achieving a significant increase in productivity and raw material yield compared to traditional processes.

The line designed and integrated by Perinox combines:

• Ultrafiltration systems for precise solids standardization.
• Continuous and automated processes, with digital control of critical process parameters.
• Hygienic and robust design, adapted to intensive industrial operation.
• Full process integration, from milk treatment to fresh cheese production.

Thanks to this configuration, the client achieves:

• Higher cheese yield by retaining proteins and fat in the final product.
• Consistent and reproducible quality, regardless of batch or milk variability.
• Reduced losses and optimized use of resources, including raw materials, energy, and operating time.
• Production flexibility, allowing adjustments in formulation and cheese characteristics without structural modifications to the line.

This project reflects Perinox’s expertise in the design and integration of advanced lines for the cheese industry, applying membrane filtration technologies and automation to develop efficient, scalable solutions aligned with the current challenges of the dairy sector.
