Cheese Making Machines
Johnson Industries International, Inc. manufactures machines that process pasta filata (stretched-curd) style cheese such as mozzarella and provolone.
Our products have the highest production rate in the world. Although we manufacture cooking, molding, and brining systems rated for 4,000, 8,000 and 12,000 pounds (1814, 3628, and 5443 kg) per hour, many customers operate well above these stated capacities.

Utilizing quickly interchangeable molds, one machine can satisfy all of your requirements. Incorporating patented proven sanitary forming technology, the RMC will provide a dimensionally true surface ensuring excellent block shape.
BriningOur systems offer the most efficient cooling and uniform salt uptake methods available. Efficient brining remains a crucial factor in quality cheese production. To that end we developed our above ground and in-ground Cage Brine Systems to meet the challenge of providing a more efficient means of brining with pre-fabricated technology and cost saving features.

MKT systems are in use in many parts of the world for the manufacture of Gouda, Baby Swiss, Blue Veined Cheeses, and more. Johnson Industries co-manufactures a number of the components of the MKT systems in addition to performing project management, service, and commissioning functions.
Dry Salting Systems
The Dry Salter is located between the cooker stretcher and the molding machine. The pasta filata travels through the salting unit on a variable speed conveyor. The unit can be set and adjusted to provide the percentage of ingredient needed by the cheese maker. The cheese travels directly into the molder hopper where the molder augers complete the homogenous distribution of ingredient by gently working the cheese as it advances toward the forming process.
