REDA equipment for cheese and whey
For cheese production, REDA supplies cheese vats of 200–10,000 l, cheese forming units and Pure Brine brine filtration.
Whey is processed into WPC and MPC protein concentrates. For this, there is membrane filtration, whey processing line and low temperature evaporator.
Plant-based drinks, juices and special products
Plant-based drinks are sterilised on UHT plants and stored in an aseptic tank. For juices, nectars and extracts, REDA offers RE-V/EO clarification separators and vacuum deaerator with aroma recovery.
The low temperature evaporator concentrates juices to 60–67 °Brix at +18…24 °C. The BlendyFlex unit prepares drinks from concentrates and purées to a recipe.
Which UHT systems does REDA offer?
REDA builds UHT lines with four heating configurations. They are chosen by product viscosity and taste requirements.
| System | Principle | Products |
|---|---|---|
| Direct UHT-Flexy | direct steam heating, flash cooler in the aseptic zone | whipping, coffee and cooking cream, béchamel sauce, crème fraîche |
| ATR UHT | indirect heating | cow milk, smoothies, plant-based drinks |
| Steryflex | direct steam injection combined with indirect heating | products whose taste and colour must be close to pasteurised |
| All-in-One | clarification, standardisation, deaeration, homogenisation and sterilisation in one step | raw milk fed to aseptic filling |
The Airless deaerator is part of every REDA UHT plant. For juices, it works with an aroma recovery system.
How do REDA separators work?
REDA separators are centrifugal machines with automatic solids discharge. The series differ in purpose: RE-P for clarification, RE-T/TE for skimming, RE-B for bactofugation, RE-V/EO for juices.
