Cheese kettles with copper inside SKH-Cu 300–1500 l

SKH-Cu is a cheese kettle SKH with copper inside. Copper is a traditional material, used in cheesemaking – it has been used for a long time, mostly in the Alps. You can produce products in a traditional way using modern equipment. It is suitable for production of different types of cheeses with a special, traditional flavour. We recommend heating for up to 63 °C.

Copper inside

The inside of cheese kettle is made of copper, which is a traditional material used in cheesemaking, that enables a special, traditional taste of final products. It helps suppress pathogenic organisms in milk.

2.

Energy efficiency

Between 10% and 30% lesser energy consumption thanks to an efficient energy exchange, which is made possible by a well-insulated vessel (with three coats), laser-welded exchange surfaces and carefully chosen materials. The water pump facilitates a better heat exchange, which speeds up the heating and cooling processes and thus saves energy and money.

3.

Good and efficient processing of cheese mass

The Plevnik harps are specially designed, sharpened and polished to facilitate smooth cutting. Substituting harps for other stirrers is simple – in a single move.

4.

Automated processing procedures and remote control

Convenient and easy management using smart controllers that control processes and make the working day more efficient and organized. Save time and money with start and shutdown delay of processes. Set them in such a way that in the morning, thermally treated milk is ready for cheesemaking. Possibility to record and document all active process parameters (temperature, stirring, etc.) and remote control (Wi-Fi).

5.

Easy control

Easily and quickly control the Plevnik cheese kettle – copper. Due to a well-conceived design of Plevnik devices, including controllers and stirrers, their handling is easy, and the work becomes faster and more efficient. All processes can be started (cutting, stirring, thermal treatment etc.) simply by pressing a button.

6.

Extend the functionality of the device

Possibility to extend the functionality of the device: For a wider range of final milk products (cheese, yogurt, curd, ricotta etc.) and the most modern, easiest, most efficient and more ergonomic work etc.

Heating Options

Different heating options are available:

Additional Equipment

Stirring shovels

For the steady and efficient stirring of the cheese mass during drying. The stirring shovels ensure the homogeneity of cheese grain and whey.

Z-stirrer

Enables the thermal treatment of milk above 65 °C. Together with the two-part cover, it enables the production of yogurt, ricotta etc.

Protective net in front of the harps

Physically prevents unauthorized reaching into the vessel during operation – for better safety at work.

Working platform

Easier access, higher outlet and easy decantation of the cheese mass to the draining table. Safe, efficient and ergonomic process control.

Elevating device

Enables setting the ergonomic working height and therefore makes work easier. Ideal solution for facilities with a low ceiling.

Water system protection

Protects the lower parts of the kettle against filth and makes cleaning of the entire kettle easier.

Remote acces (WiFi)

You can have control over the process at every moment – even if you are not in a dairy: connect to the controller with mobile devices (optional) and remotely control and manage cheese production.
You can: turn on, start delay, transfer records, skip to the next step in a process, change temperature, and some other parameters such as stirrer speed or direction.

Stainless steel control panel

The INOX control panel is very durable and makes cleaning easier (the picture is symbolic).

Two-step cooling

Save ice water (energy), because water from the water supply network is used for cooling from higher temperatures (100-40 °C). Ice water is used for cooling down (40-4 °C).

Cheese table

Plevnik cheese tables SM 97, 147 and 199 come with detachable legs. This lowers transport costs since they can be packed together with a cheese kettle .

Our Cheesemakers’ Testimonials

After two cheesemaking seasons with the new cheese kettle SKH-Cu 1000, we can draw a positive balance: The process has been simplified, but also optimized at the same time. The quality of our sheep cheese has been increased thanks to the gentler processing.. Customers often praise our products.

Manuel and Linard Cotti, Cotti Agricultura

Superior heating, cooling and milk processing performance in all process phases is what I can say about the Plevnik cheese kettles. The best cheese, yoghurt and curd are the logical result.
