Article: Brookfield Engineering Warms Up Cheese Industry With AST-100 Viscosity Controller
Brookfield Engineering Laboratories, Inc., the world leader in viscosity measurement and control, has helped a well-known German artisan cheese manufacturer automate hot cheese measurement and production control, leading to greater process efficiencies.
The cheese manufacturer installed Brookfield’s AST-100 Viscometer in a soft cheese production line making assorted varieties of cream cheese. After the ingredients are processed, mixed together and heated up to approximately 75°C, the process stream is brought to low pressure, allowing the cream to flow more efficiently to the filling station. Brookfield’s AST-100 is installed in the low-pressure stream immediately enabling measurement and correction of the final product in-line.
