Technical specifications designed for demanding environments
The maturing bins and salting crates are made from food-grade plastics that comply with regulatory requirements for food contact. The food-grade polypropylene is preferred for its mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and resistance to cleaning products used in the food industry. Our crates are designed to withstand high-temperature cleaning cycles and significant temperature fluctuations.
The standardized dimensions facilitate integration into existing production lines. The formats are designed to ensure compatibility with Euro pallets, secure stackability , and smooth handling, even in humid environments. Depending on requirements, the crates may feature perforated bottoms to facilitate drainage or solid bottoms suitable for immersion in brine.
Specific applications for cheese ripening and salting
Our salting tubs and aging racks are designed for use with various types of cheeses—whether soft, pressed, or fresh. During the salting, the crates allow for uniform immersion in brine or controlled draining after treatment. During ripening, they facilitate internal transport, turning, and temporary storage of the products in the cellar or ripening room, complementing our high-strength .
Their design takes into account the constraints associated with repeated handlingand stacked loads , and the temperature and humidity conditions specific to the aging process. They are suitable for both artisanal workshops and food production facilities operating at a high throughput.
Hygiene, convenience, and regulatory compliance
One of the main advantages of professional curing and salting cooperatives lies in their high standards offood safety. The smooth surfaces minimize areas where dirt can accumulate, reduce the risk of contamination, and facilitate cleaning and disinfection. Some models are also reversible, which improves logistics management and workshop productivity, thanks to an ergonomic grip that makes it easier for operators to turn the containers over. The durability of the materials ensures high durability.
A range that is accessible to professionals and customizable
The ripening and salting crates are available for purchase by master affineurs, dairy farms, dairy cooperatives, and food industry manufacturers. Order quantities can be tailored to meet the needs of artisanal operations as well as the requirements of industrial organizations.
Depending on the project, customized solutions can be developed for customization, whether for specific dimensions, colors for batch management, or adaptations to meet particular process constraints. This equipment serves as a reliable production tool, designed to ensure the safety of key stages in ripening and salting while improving process control.
