Cheese prepress PRP-AP is automated, user-friendly prepress with adjustable programs for automated pressing and cutting. This multipurpose device is intended for receiving the cheese mass, draining the whey, automatic prepressing using compressed air, automatic or manual cutting of the cheese mass into desired cheese blocks and automatic pressing of cheese mass in cheese moulds. It is distinguished by its wide usability – it is suitable for making semi-hard and hard cheeses in smaller batches from 1.000l up to 4.000 l.
Plevnik prepresses enable better quality control of cheese and excellent yield -approximately 10 % cheese mass from the source quantity of milk.

Prepressing
Automated prepressing of the cheese mass in sections. The bridge moves along the table and presses a section of the cheese block under the pressing plate. The pressure can be regulated by setting the pressing cylinder pressure from 1–4 kg per kilogram of cheese mass. The time of pressing can be set. The controller enables multiple passes with different steps..
