Armfield - Miniature-Scale Research & Development Technology - FT20/FT20A Cheese Vat & Cheese Making Accessories

The Armfield Cheese Vat is designed to provide practical training in the production of cheese by the traditional method. The Armfield Cheese Vat makes an ideal research facility. When making Cheddar type cheese, approximately 1kg of cheese is produced from a ten-litre batch of milk.

Manufactured wholly in stainless steel and bench-mounted, the vat is hygienic in use. It has a removable paddle agitator of stainless steel, driven through a guarded linkage system by a variable-speed drive motor. Water is circulated through the vat jacket at a preselected temperature by the pump contained in the separate control console, which stands adjacent to the vat.

The control console incorporates:

Digital display of pH of vat contents
Digital display of temperature of vat contents
Two analog output ports for computer monitoring of vat temperature and pH
Agitator stop/start and variable speed control
Integrated data logger with USB output
The pH and temperature probes are suspended in the vat contents from a bracket on the rim of the vat.

A specially designed perforated strainer fits into the vat outlet to facilitate efficient draining.
