AISI 304 Stainless Steel Curd Cutter

Designed to ensure uniform cutting of the curd, it improves production yield and cheese quality, making it an essential tool for any professional dairy.

The AISI 304 stainless steel curd cutter is designed for professional milk processing in cheese production. Used during the curd breaking stage, it ensures a uniform grain size, which is crucial for determining the final quality of the cheese and the proper separation of the whey.

Made entirely from AISI 304 stainless steel, it guarantees high hygiene standards, corrosion resistance and a long service life even in damp environments and when in contact with organic substances. This material is ideal for food applications, ensuring safety and ease of sanitisation after each use.

The curd cutter is available in a manual version in various sizes, ranging from the most compact 21×40 cm to the largest 30×100 cm, to suit different vats and production volumes. This variety allows you to choose the most suitable tool based on the dairy’s requirements, for both artisanal and semi-industrial production.

A trapezoidal version is also available, designed for use in combination with automatic mixers, improving process efficiency and ensuring a more uniform and controlled curd breaking.

Using the curd-breaking lyre optimises the processing stage, reduces waste and improves production yield, helping to achieve cheese of consistent quality.

FAQ

What is the curd-cutting knife used for?

The knife is used to break the curd during cheese production. This step is essential for separating the whey from the solid mass and determining the final structure of the product. A uniform cut ensures a better yield and more consistent cheese quality.

What is the advantage of AISI 304 stainless steel?

AISI 304 stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, does not alter the product’s characteristics and ensures high hygiene standards. It is easy to wash and sanitise, making it perfect for food applications and for daily use in dairies.

How do you choose the size of the curd cutter?

The choice depends on the size of the vat and the volume of milk processed. Smaller versions are ideal for artisanal production, whilst larger sizes allow for the efficient processing of greater quantities, reducing operating times.

When should the trapezoidal version be used?

The trapezoidal version is suitable for use with automatic mixers. It allows for better integration with mechanised systems, ensuring a more uniform and continuous cutting of the curd during the production process.

Is the curd cutter suitable for all types of cheese?

Yes, it can be used for various types of cheese. However, the cut size and method of use may vary depending on the final product, such as fresh, matured or stretched-curd cheeses.

How is cleaning and maintenance carried out?

Cleaning is simple thanks to the smooth surface of the stainless steel. Simply wash with food-grade detergents and rinse thoroughly. Proper maintenance ensures durability and consistent performance over time.

What advantages does it offer in terms of productivity?

A well-designed cutter allows for a uniform and rapid cutting of the curd, reducing processing times and improving yield. This translates into greater production efficiency and consistent quality of the final product.
