We supply cheese brining systems for different kind of situations. Our brine systems are supplied with a circulation pump, and with automatic temperature control. Every brine system of Scherjon is tailor-made for every situation.

We supply tailor made cheese brining machinery for every situation. We produce deep brining systems and surface brining systems. Making the right choice for your business will generally depends upon your specific situation: the location, the height of the building, capacity and other factors. Our brining systems are suitable for a wide variety of cheeses. For example: Gouda, Edammer and Emmentaler.

Deep brining system

The most used system in cheese dairies are deep brining systems. Deep brining systems offer in a lot of European country’s better isolation. They are designed to brine many cheeses at once and are generally used for cheeses with a long brining time and for cheese lines with a high capacity.

With deep brining we work with in-ground cages. The brine cages are placed into a brine bath by means of an overhead crane. The size of our brining systems can be adjusted to the capacity of the cheese production. We offer the most efficient cooling and uniform salt uptake methods available.

Surface brining system

Surface brining systems work with above-ground cages. These systems are particularly applied for cheeses with a short brining time. The density of the brine will cause the surface of the cheese to float above the brine. To obtain an even absorption of the brine, the cheese must be immersed regularly. This can be done by hand or by means of a special roller.
