SORDI cheese vat “CASEUS” is a cylindrical shaped vat, with capacity from 2.000 to 20.000 litres, closed type, with horizontal axis. The vat geometry is characterized by the absence of sharp edges and stagnation points.  

• A central shaft keeps the cutting and agitation tools in a diametrically opposed position.  During the cutting only the knifes are plunged into the curd mass, while during the stirring phase only the paddles are plunged in. The cutting tools have very sharp blades maintaining their characteristics unchanged with time. At the time of the cutting the curd mass is still, reducing the dragging effect (reduction of fats and  production fines in the whey).
• The jacket is completely made of stainless steel and enables the passage of pressurized fluids.
• ''CASEUS'' is designed for the automatic CIP cleaning, carried out through cleaning heads and duly fit inside the vat.
• The structural extreme simplicity ensures a great reliability and easy maintenance, while the vat’s geometry, its position and structure of the cutting and stirring tools ensure maximum yielding and usage flexibility.
• With respect to the standard ''CASEUS'', the ''AS'' model includes a filter with automatic input and a whey extraction filter with controlled descent and wide pierced surface to ensure a high extraction capacity and a minimum risk of clogging.
