Industrial Cheese Vats

Home Industrial Cheese Vats

RELCO® has curd making equipment for many different types of cheese.

Our curd making vats include the Double O Style Vats, horizontal vats, cottage cheese vats, and other specialty cheese vats. Here are a few things to consider when buying an industrial cheese vat for curd making:

  • Which cheese products is your facility making? Is it a specialty cheese product, soft cheese or hard cheese?
  • Are you in need of a specialty vat? Other than the popular Double O vats and the horizontal vats, speciality vats such as open laboratory vats, cottage cheese vats, and ricotta vats are available from RELCO.
  • What size & capacity of cheese vat is needed? It is a good idea to buy a cheese vat bigger than what you need now if space allows. RELCO provides industrial cheese vats in different sizes for large cheese production facilities.
  • Is the OO style vat or the horizontal vat a better fit? The choice between the Double O style cheese vat and the horizontal vat often comes down to the cheesemaker’s preference. The horizontal vat is a popular choice in the U.S., where outside the U.S. the Double O vat is common. However, the horizontal cheese vat seems to be becoming a widespread favorite worldwide.
  • What type of cheese vat heating system is preferred? RELCO’s cheese vats have various water heating systems options including steam or hot water systems.
  • Is customization and turn-key installation needed? RELCO provides customized cheese production equipment and turn-key installation to meet the space, production, and installation requirements of our customers.
