This cup filling line was developed and built by GRUNWALD.
GRUNWALD have a cooperation with ALPMA in the field of
processing technology and UF filtration.
Advantages of modern technology
Compared to the traditional white cheese production the
modern UF (ultra filtration) technology for the production of
UF white cheese (FETA) offers a large number of advantages:
• lower investment costs
• lower running costs
• higher output as less milk per kg cheese is required (only
approx. 5 – 6 litres of milk for producing 1 kg of cheese)
• direct addition of salt into the cheese product
• no fermentation time as the pH value is reduced by adding
the GDL directly after the mixing procedure
• no whey on the product surface
• herbs or flavours can optionally be added to the cheese
• shelf lives of up to 6 months can be achieved due to the
gas injection or alternatively MAP (Modified Atmosphere
Packaging)
• reduced space requirements and
• considerably reduced production and processing time. No
incubation time as the cheese is packed and cooled directly
after the fermentation. Compared to traditionally
produced UF white cheese the storage time of 3 months is
reduced to only a few days
• quick availability of the product on the market
Numerous optional equipment is available. One special feature
is the filling station which can also be used for mixing
herbs into the product.
Production and speed
Each GRUNWALD cup filling line can be adapted to the special
requirements of the customers and offers them high
flexibility in order to be in a position to react to the consumers‘
requirements at any time and produce in a marketorientated
way.

This machine is suitable for all 3 methods of white cheese
production and designed for a simple and quick format
changeover for different cup sizes. The products are filled in
ready-made plastic cups. The standard cup sizes are 100 grs,
250 grs, 500 grs and 1 kg.
The GRUNWALD cup filling line is available in two standard
sizes:
1. for handling 1,000 kg or
2. for handling 2,000 kg of retentate resp. concentrate per
hour
Due to this new procedure it is possible to run production for
up to 20 hours per day before CIP has to be made.
Production speed:
1,000 – 4,800 cups/hour depending on the fill volume, product
consistency, product characteristics, remaining headspace
in the cup and packing material. grunwald-wangen.de
