Molding device

Our Tubular molding machines allow the continuous production of hard cheese thanks to the combination of pre-pressing, cutting and curd molding operations.

Our pre-pressing vats allow to obtain a curd cake of regular size and to minimize material losses.

The vacuum molding system evenly distributes the contents of a vat in each mold. This is the reference system for molding cooked cheese.

Press

CHALON MEGARD offers you a complete range of pressing systems allowing you to carry out your pressing operations in accordance with your technological parameters, your production requirements and your infrastructures.

Pressing pallets are used to stack several molds with individual pressing for each mold. These pallets can rest on the ground, be hung on an overhead conveyor or a circular carousel.

Our molding and pressing modules are suitable for cooperatives and can be washed in a CIP system with the molds inside.

Finally, our open or closed multi-purpose tunnel presses allow automatic cleaning, with one or more rows of molds (or block form) and can be superimposed to save floor space.

  • Press Tower open or closed
  • Tunnel press with jacks or air cushions
  • Turning press
  • Column press open or closed
  • Horizontal press
  • Pressing pallets
  • Weight press
