Reducing Oil Consumption in Cheese Demoulding Process by Spraying Systems Co.
In a bid to enhance food safety, efficiency, and cost savings, a cheese factory has turned to Spraying Systems Co. and their innovative AutoJet® F1850+ spray controller. This state-of-the-art system is revolutionising the cheese factory's operations, addressing long-standing challenges and promoting a more sustainable and efficient production process.
Improved Food Safety
The AutoJet® F1850+ ensures consistent and precise application of sanitizers, lubricants, or other sprays, maintaining hygienic conditions in cheese production areas. By automating spray cycles and providing real-time monitoring, it reduces the risk of human error, ensuring critical cleaning and sanitization occur reliably and are documented for compliance. The controlled delivery minimizes over-application or under-application, reducing potential contamination or residue buildup that can affect food safety.
Efficiency Enhancements
The new system utilises precision spray technology to apply exact volumes only where needed, minimising waste and ensuring efficient use of materials. It can be integrated with existing production systems to coordinate spray events with processing steps, reducing downtime and improving workflow continuity. Users can easily adjust spray parameters for different products or cleaning protocols, enabling quick changes without manual recalibration.
Cost Savings
Precise control decreases the amount of cleaning agents, lubricants, or coatings used, lowering material costs. Automation reduces reliance on manual spraying tasks, freeing staff for higher-value activities and decreasing labor expenses. Proper application reduces product defects and spoilage linked to contamination or improper maintenance, saving money on scrap and rework.
The factory has reported a reduction in oil consumption by 30% with the new Spraying Systems Co. solution. This reduction not only minimises costs but also contributes to a more environmentally friendly production process.
The system features the AutoJet® F1850+ spray controller, a hygienic header, and a 20L pressure tank. The new solution promotes a more secure environment for users around the spray zone, with the air control cabinet creating a more secure environment and electrical cabinets near the spray zone now protected from potential damage.
The new system eliminates oil buildup on the floor, reducing the need for frequent cleaning, and significantly reduces the amount of fog in the lubrication room with micro-spraying. The lubrication room at the cheese factory was filled with excessive mist, which has now been addressed with the installation of the new system.
The system's header is equipped with 16 air atomising spray guns, allowing for selection of nozzle numbers to match mould dimensions. This flexibility ensures easy demoulding of cheese, which requires oiling of empty moulds before adding cheese ingredients. Skipping oiling could result in most of the cheese sticking to the mould.
Spraying Systems Co. offers precision automated spray solutions for the cheese industry and have introduced this new system to address the challenges at the cheese factory. The factory's boom regulation system was outdated, providing inefficient spray control and inconsistent oil pressure. The new system provides a certified food contact installation, ensuring the highest standards of food safety are met.
In conclusion, the AutoJet® F1850+ spray controller streamlines critical spraying operations in cheese factories, helping maintain safety standards while boosting operational efficiency and lowering associated costs.
- The AutoJet® F1850+ spray controller also ensures the precise application of sanitizers for food-and-drink applications, promoting improved hygiene and safety within the cheese factory.
- By automating the application of lubricants and coatings using technology, the new system contributes to sustaining machinery and optimizing the factory's operational efficiency in the broader industrial landscape, extending to lifestyle and finance aspects.
- The ability of the AutoJet® F1850+ system to lower oil consumption by 30% not only drives cost savings but also aligns with growing consumer awareness and demands for environmentally conscious practices in various industry sectors, including technology and food-and-drink production.
