Edewecht: the world's most automated cheese plant?

With two continuous production lines, the central cheese factory at Edewecht, near Bremen, West Germany, is an entirely new plant based on the concept of a very high rate of output and very few operatives. It must be ranked among the most automated cheese production units in the world, writes our technical correspondent.

The country between the Rivers Weser and Ems bordering the Netherlands supports intensive milk production with a very high density of output per unit of agricultural land. Only a relatively small proportion of milk has been used for cheese manufacture, but the new cheese plant at Edewecht, about 17 km south west of Oldenburg is now absorbing an increased amount of the milk produced and thus contributing towards the diversification of dairy processing in the area.

This remarkable, automated factory is a co-operative enterprise built in 1975 at a cost of about 22 million DM provided by bank 1oans, subscription shares by its 20 member dairy co-operatives operating in the area, and by EEC funds. It processes at present about 450.000 kg milk daily into Cheddar, Gouda and Edam cheese, and concentrates the whey produced and also undertakes the drying of milk for its member co-operatives during the peak period of production. Supplies are obtained from the 20 member dairy plants each of which contributes about 10 per cent of its milk intake. The farms in the area are relatively large, each keeping on average about 14 cows. The factory is basically a single-storey building comprising three sections, of which the vast production hall (25 by 55 metres) is the most remarkable. It contains five closed Alfa-Laval Tebel cheese vats each of 12,000 litres capacity, supplying two continuous production lines, one for Cheddar and one for Gouda and Edam.

Continuous butter making

Cream is aged in four silos before being churned in a Pasilac HOT 2.0 continuous buttermaking. Pasilac recommend that the aging process should take 10 hours in the summer and 6 hrs in the winter, but the exact time depends on the requirement of each particular user. Prom the aging vats, cream is transferred to a 135.000 liter silo which minimises the changes in the fat and temperature levels

 

during buttermaking. This silo holds enough cream for one days butter production. The cream is then churned in the buttermaking and the buttermilk separated off. This particular unit works butter under vacuum, which produced a close texture product-the right consistency for being packed into boxes. However, while the HOT butter-maker is fully automatic, it still allows for the expertise of the. operator to produce a good quality butter, of whatever variety required. The full range of butters can be made in this machine-salt or unsalted butter, ripend or made by the Nizo method. Butter is extruded into a holding silo at a rate of 5 tones an hour before being pumped continuously to the fully automated PMP butter packer. The lines is microprocessor controlled, with automatic paper folding and box erected mechanisms. 25 kg boxes are filled to the exact weight, sealed and coded, and then automatically loaded onto pallets to be taken to the cold store. The new cold store has a racking system constructed to allow the butter to cool quicker, and reach a temperature of -150C.

Meat and meat products

The flesh from the cattle over 6 months of age is beef and from younger cattle is veal. Beef is a nutritious food having approximately 25% protein and rich in essential acids, В vitamins, and minerals.

The primary products of swine are pork, lard, hides, and innumerable by-products. Pork is more successfully cured and stored than any other meats.

Fresh red meats are refrigerated. Cured meats such as ham, bacon, and sausage contain chemical preservatives (salt, nitrate, nitrite) but are, in addition, heat processed and stored under refrigeration. Fresh and cured meats are also canned. With severe heat processing a shelf-stable product is produced. In certain products stability is achieved in part through other processes: fermentation, drying, smoking and impregnation with vinegar.

The manufacture of meat products includes those processes which prepare the product for consumption and increase the stability, improve the texture, colour and appearance of various meat items. Various processes are employed depending upon the desired result. Various enzymatic agents and other additives are often used.
