Cheese curd harp – manual mixer
The manual cheese harp is a compact and practical tool designed for cutting and mixing curd directly in cooking kettles and pasteurizers (e.g. 50–150 L units). Its unique rotating grid allows both vertical and horizontal movement, enabling efficient curd cutting and gentle agitation with a single tool.
- Dual-position grid for vertical and horizontal cutting and mixing
- Designed for use in cooking kettles and pasteurizers (e.g. 100 L units)
- Fully made of food-grade stainless steel with a rubber handle
- Compact, durable, and easy to handle
- Ideal for artisanal and small-scale cheese production
The cheese curd harp is a professional handheld tool intended for manual processing of milk during cheese production.
It is used for cutting the curd mass after coagulation and for gently mixing the curds during further processing stages. A key feature of this harp is its rotating grid design, which allows the operator to quickly switch between vertical and horizontal positions. This makes it possible to cut curd in multiple directions and then continue mixing in a circular motion without changing tools. Such flexibility improves process efficiency and helps achieve a more uniform curd size.
Applications
Manual cutting and mixing of cheese curds in:
- milk pasteurizers
- cooking kettles
- cheese vats
- small dairy processing units
The harp is particularly suitable for use in small and medium-scale production, including processing in our 50 L, 100 L, or 150 L milk pasteurizers and cooking kettles. It allows the operator to work directly inside the vessel, ensuring better control over curd structure and whey separation.
This tool is ideal for producing a wide range of cheeses, including:
- fresh cheeses
- semi-hard cheeses
- hard cheeses
- pasta filata cheeses
- farmhouse and artisanal cheeses
The robust stainless steel construction ensures durability, hygienic operation, and easy cleaning. The long handle provides comfortable operation even in deeper vessels.
