Page Pedersen - Model LactiCheck LC-03/CM -Three Channel Composition Analyzer for Cheesemaking
Testing RAW MILK, WHEY and processed milks [whole cream with dilution], the LC-03/CM delivers accurate, reliable results in ~ one minute! Easy to use with no pipetting required AND no reagents.
Easy to integrate at any point in the Plant!
Featuring a small bench print to operate, the LactiCheck 03/CM can easily be integrated into anywhere from milk reception (raw milk), process control (Cheese recipes, processed milk mixtures) and final quality control. This instrument can also provide composition results for cheese ‘recipes’ or yogurt formulations to ensure consistency, compliance with quality requirements.and traceability.
Artisanal, Boutique and Specialty Cheese Makers: Test raw milk, cheese recipes and whey to ensure consistent quality. Optimize Fat/Protein Ratios as appropriate. Spot hidden losses in whey output.
Farmstead Processing: Confirm compliance with regulatory requirements for soft cheeses (FDA Traceability) in milk. check correct separation functionality of cream separators. Enhance herd management for optimizing feed formulations, calf replacement formulae and herd heath. Check cheese recipes for consistency and whey outputs for hidden losses (if it`s in the Whey it`s not in the Cheese!)
Yogurt Makers: Know that the milk coming in meets your standards. Check yogurt ‘recipes’ to ensure that the mixture is consistent and meets your quality parameters. Check whey for losses that can negatively impact organoleptic qualities and yields.
Speciality Cheesemakers: Use at satellite locations like a room near to the processing floor to take pressure off the central lab. Integrate into your system as a back-up to more automated composition analyzers to reduce down-time during regular maintenance, re-calibration or training on your MIR, FTIR or NIR instruments and to assist with R&D in developing new products (codifying recipes and production standards).
