Here is only a part of Aurora moulds. We can choose moulds which are suitable for you according to your size and capaciousness. In order to do this you should send a request on our site or contact our manager.
Traditionally cheeses are classified as hard, soft and home-made. Each of those has dozens of sorts.
There is no single form for cheese, it is made triangle, square, but mostly round. Not without reason in some countries cheese name comes from the word “form”, for example in Italy (“formaggio”). And there is nothing surprising because cheese moulds matter much.
How is cheese form made? If it is home made cheese, then any moulds are suitable if they have holes for liquid. When cheese is produced on factory one needs special moulds which are different for every type of cheese. It is perforated moulds made of high density polyethylene that allow producing such a variety of cheeses as soft, hard, semi hard and brine-ripened, which cheese-eaters like so much.
Cheese mould must have all sanitary and hygienic certificates. Cheese mould is usually made of low and high density polyethylene or of polypropylene. It depends on sort of cheese. One can’t do without a mould when producing soft or semi hard cheeses. For example soft self-pressed cheeses (Roquefort, Camembert, Moale, Adigeiskii), brine-ripened cheeses (Ossetinskii, Kobiiskii, Imeretinskii, Lory, brynza), cheddar type cheeses and heat and mechanical treatment of cheese curd (Mozzarella, Suluguni, Yaroslavich, laminated, etc.). Cheese moulds are also necessary for production of semi hard self-pressed cheeses (Novorossiiskii, Mologa, etc.), and for formed cheese also.
One should choose cheese mould very carefully because on its quality depends the quality of the finished product.
The following materials are used:
LD. PE Low-density polyethylene
Thermoplastic resin obtained by polymerization of ethylene. Density: 0.915 - 0.930 g/cm3, depending on the type. Melting temperature: 113 C, the temperature of brittle fracture: about - 80C. The material is most suitable for flexible or semi-rigid products such as films, tubes, bottles, hollow objects and casting products (containers, toys, household utensils). Operating temperature: - 60 to + 70 ° C. At higher temperatures the material becomes soft, and its weight load may be insufficient for some types of products. The main advantages of the material are its flexibility and high impact strength.
HD.PE High Density Polyethylene
Thermoplastic resin obtained by polymerization of ethylene. In comparison with low density polyethylene has a linear structure.
Density: 0.945 - 0.965 g/cm3, depending on the type.
Melting temperature: 120 C.
Operating temperature: - 40 to + 90 C.
The material is most suitable for containers, blow received, household utensils, boxes, tubes and other products that require increased stiffness of the material. The main advantages of the material are its high rigidity and hardness, high thermal stability.
Polypropylene
Thermoplastic resin obtained by polymerization of propylene.
Density: 0.910 g/cm3.
Melting temperature: 130 C (depending on the species).
Operating temperature: 0 to + 120 C (homopolymer), -10 to 100 (copolymer).
The material is most suitable for tanks, made by blowing or injection, household utensils, boxes, tubes and other products that require increased stiffness of the material.
The main advantages of the material are its high rigidity and hardness, high thermal stability (in the copolymer). Also, the material has a significant impact.
