The round cheese vat is triple walled and has an insulated outer wall. Hot or cold water can circulate in the jacket of the vat. This is done by means of a spray pipe for indirectly cooling or heating the product. The machine comes standard fitted with built-in thermostat control with digital temperature display. The round cheese vat is provided with a motor reductor, stainless steel stirring mechanism and stainless steel control panel. A frequency convertor regulates the cutting/stirring speed to be continuously adjustable between 0 and 25 rotations per minute. The machine is mounted on wheels and comes with either a manually operated tipping mechanism (with an eccentric wheel) or a pneumatic tipping mechanism (piston-operated).
