Almac FV200 Mozzarella Cooker Stretcher with Direct Steam Injection with Almac FS50-N Mozzarella Moulder (Year 2012)

Description

Used Almac FV200 Mozzarella Cooker Stretcher with Direct Steam Injection, supplied together with an Almac FS50/N Mozzarella Moulding Machine and a comprehensive selection of interchangeable moulding drums for producing various mozzarella cheese formats, shapes and portion sizes.

The Almac FV200 steam cooker stretcher is designed for cooking, kneading, stretching and working fresh or prepared curd for the production of mozzarella, pasta filata cheese and processed stretched-curd cheese products. The machine uses twin independently driven stretching augers with electronic variable-speed control to crumble, mix, knead and stretch the cheese before discharging it into the downstream mozzarella moulder. Direct steam is injected into the product through four mushroom-shaped steam injectors. This efficient direct steam injection system provides rapid and uniform heating during the cooking and stretching process and can help achieve a better mozzarella cheese yield, subject to the curd composition, moisture content, recipe and operating parameters. The Almac FV200 cooker stretcher is mounted on integrated load cells, enabling accurate weighing and improved batch control throughout the mozzarella cooking and stretching process. This helps operators achieve consistent batch sizes, repeatable processing and controlled cheese production. It also includes spare Teflon-coated/non-stick augers for the Almac FV200 cooker stretcher, offering useful production flexibility and reducing potential downtime.

The matching Almac FS50/N mozzarella moulder receives the stretched cheese mass through its loading hopper. Twin mechanically driven feeding augers continuously deliver the pasta filata cheese into the interchangeable rotary moulding drum, producing consistent mozzarella portions. The line is supplied with a selection of interchangeable mozzarella moulds/moulding drums, allowing the production of various mozzarella formats.

Manufactured principally from AISI 304 stainless steel, with food-contact components coated in certified food-grade non-stick material, this used Almac mozzarella production line is suitable for hygienic operation within commercial cheese dairies and industrial dairy-processing plants. The equipment is supplied with integrated electrical control panels, electronic speed control, PLC and touchscreen operator interface.
