Pizza Cheese Production Line and Factory Setup

A pizza cheese (mozzarella-style) production line is a dairy processing system designed to produce stretched-curd cheese suitable for pizza and similar applications. The process includes milk preparation, pasteurization, coagulation, cooking, stretching, molding, cooling, and packaging or shredding.

Precise control of acidity, cooking temperature, and stretching is essential to achieve the characteristic fibrous texture, melt, and stretch properties required for pizza cheese.

Main raw materials include milk, rennet (or coagulant), starter culture, salt, and calcium chloride. Core equipment consists of pasteurizers, cheese vats, cookers, stretchers, molders, and packaging or shredding machines.

The Industrial Department supports new investors establishing a pizza cheese factory and existing plant owners requiring repair, overhaul, capacity expansion, or automation. Projects may start from an empty site or from an operating facility needing technical upgrading.

Engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and technical support can be provided for projects in Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan, and other regional markets under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The pizza cheese line is an integrated dairy process. Capacity is determined during engineering (typical ranges depending on vat and stretcher size). The process sequence is: milk standardization and pasteurization, coagulation and cutting, cooking and whey drainage, stretching, molding, cooling, and packaging or shredding.

Main machinery includes pasteurizer (500–5000 L/h), coagulation vat (500–2000 L), cooker (300–1000 kg), stretcher (300–1000 kg/h), molder (200–500 kg/h), and shredder or packaging machine (500–1500 kg/h).

Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, steam, process water, refrigeration, and hygienic building design. Manpower is typically 6–15 persons per shift.

Support can be examined for projects in Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan Region (Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok), Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Afghanistan (Kabul, Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif), Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Syria, Oman, Jordan, Turkey, Armenia, and Georgia.

Manufacturing Process

  1. Milk Preparation and Pasteurization – Milk is standardized and pasteurized.
  2. Coagulation – Starter and rennet are added; curd is formed and cut.
  3. Cooking and Whey Drainage – Curd is cooked and whey is removed.
  4. Stretching – Curd is stretched in hot water to develop the fibrous structure.
  5. Molding and Cooling – Cheese is molded and cooled.
  6. Packaging or Shredding – Product is packed in blocks or shredded and packed.

Machinery & Equipment

  • Pasteurizer – Thermal treatment of milk.
  • Coagulation Vat – Curd formation and cutting.
  • Cooker – Controlled cooking of curd.
  • Stretcher – Develops the characteristic pizza-cheese texture.
  • Molder and Cooler – Forms and cools the cheese.
  • Shredder / Packaging – Prepares the final product format.

Support is available for design, manufacturing or procurement, installation, commissioning, repair, overhaul, refurbishment, automation, and spare parts.

Factory Layout & Building Requirements

Typical areas: milk reception, processing hall, cold storage, packaging, utilities, laboratory, and staff facilities. Hygienic zoning is essential.

Utilities

  • Electricity: 380 V three-phase, 50–150 kW
  • Steam: 200–600 kg/h
  • Water: 5–15 m³/day
  • Refrigeration

Turnkey Factory Setup
