End-to-end excellence: From curd to packaging

Producing premium mozzarella requires precision at every stage. Tetra Pak’s solution covers the entire process from curd preparation, moulding, cooling and packaging all under one seamless system.

The modular design means manufacturers can tailor the line to their current capacity while retaining the flexibility to expand. For businesses looking to strengthen their position in the dairy sector, this is a long-term investment that delivers measurable returns.

Engineered for hygiene, reliability and maximum yield

Mozzarella production demands exacting standards. Tetra Pak’s line ensures gentle cooking with a single auger system, preserving yield while maintaining product integrity. 

The moulding technology prevents contamination by eliminating contact between cheese and cooling media which is critical for food safety compliance.

With a production capacity of up to 6 t/h, the line maximises output without compromising quality. Fast, automated cleaning processes further reduce down-time, keeping operations running smoothly and efficiently.

Digital innovation for smarter, more efficient production

Tetra Pak’s mozzarella line leverages Industry 4.0 technologies, incorporating real-time monitoring and automation to optimise performance. Producers gain full visibility over every stage, reducing waste, minimising product loss and ensuring consistent quality.

This digital edge translates into faster turnaround times, lower operational costs and improved profitability. By maximising raw material usage and shortening cold storage periods, manufacturers can accelerate time-to-market while maintaining premium standards.

Sustainability built into every component

Beyond efficiency, Tetra Pak’s solution is designed with sustainability in mind. The line reduces water and energy consumption, helping manufacturers meet environmental targets while cutting costs. Its robust construction ensures longevity, minimising the need for frequent upgrades.

With mozzarella demand on the rise, Southern African dairy producers can now access Tetra Pak’s world-class technology locally. Backed by decades of dairy expertise and dedicated regional support, this solution empowers manufacturers to produce high-quality mozzarella efficiently, sustainably and at scale.
