Cheese Molders
Koss Industrial, Inc. Cheese Molders form Pasta Filata style cheeses into blocks. These CIP-able machines (check out Koss Industrial CIP Systems), created to USDA & WDA Sanitary Standards, feature durable stainless steel design with Teflon coated forms. Cheese Molders are highly customizable in order to complement unique customer applications, forms are available in different shapes/sizes.
620 Mixers, Extruders, and Cooker Mixer Stretchers (CMS) are some examples of other Pasta Filata Cheese-Making machinery by Koss.
And You Thought They Only Made Cars
Although most of us know Suzuki for their work in the auto industry, they actually have an entire aquatic line called . Rather than being a traditional “boat company,” Suzuki Marine is a motor company. This means they can translate the technology they have already developed in their numerous vehicles to power items such as motorcycles, ATVs, and boats.
The engines themselves are designed to be lightweight with the maximum amount of output. They are also distinguished from similar companies for being 4-stroke cross valve engines that are surprisingly quiet and fuel efficient. And that is becoming increasingly important to boaters as the cost of boat fuel far exceeds the cost of auto fuel, which itself is already at an all-time high.
620 Mixers
Koss Industrial, Inc. creates custom machinery for a variety of production techniques, including Pasta Filata Cheese-Making. 620 Mixers use hot water to cook Italian, pasta filata style cheeses in a continuous operation.
Designed and fabricated to USDA & WDA Sanitary Standards, these machines are CIP-able (check out Koss CIP Systems) with available options such as direct steam injection or steam bundles.
Materials and finishes suit the process; the machines feature Teflon coated augers and a textured body for non-stick surfaces.

Pasta Filata Cheese-Making
(Italian: “spun paste”) Pasta filata is a cheese-making technique named for its distinctive stretching step (filatura), where the cheese is kneaded/stretched in hot water/whey.
The filatura creates the soft, elastic, stringy texture that characterizes pasta filata cheeses. Mozzarella and provolone are two popular examples from this group of Italian cheeses also known as ‘stretched-curd’, ‘pulled-curd’ or ‘plastic-curd’ cheeses.
Koss Industrial, Inc. designs and fabricates custom machinery for this unique cheese-making technique and others. Contact us for information on cookers, mixers, molders, extruders and more of our machines designed and fabricated for this particular technique.
Custom Tube & Pipe Branching
Koss Industrial, Inc. provides a variety of products and services, consider Koss for your needs. Not familiar with tube & pipe branching services? Check out the information below!
Method
• Use a pulling process to branch connect direct from a full run of material
• Entire operation performed on one machine
• Elliptical hole cut from outside the pipe, port is pulled to size
• Port is trimmed or faced true for a perfect butt weld to be performed
Reasons to use a Pulled Port:
• Most effective method for tubing fabrication
• Significantly reduces number of joints in a pipe run
• Lowers material costs
• Lessens fabrication time
• Limits material handling
• Lowers inventory
• Normally no restrictions on locations of pulled ports (orientation & locations nearly limitless pending on run diameter & port size)
• Fatigue is not caused (cold formed, no intense amount of heat created)
Materials that can be pulled:
• Most malleable materials including (but not limited to):
* Stainless Steel, Carbon Steel, CuNI, Aluminum Alloys, Copper
Different Valves
There are a lot of different valves that are made specifically for certain devices. A backwater valve is used for sanitary drainage. A ball check valve is used for liquid or gel mini pump dispenser spigots. Multiple check valves can be connected in a series. These are just to name a few.
A check valve is a two port valve. This means that it has two openings. One port valve for the fluid to come through and the second port valve so the fluid can come out. Check valves work automatically and are not controlled by a person.
COP Tanks

Standard equipment includes (but is not limited to): Stainless> Capillary Tube Well, Check Valve (after steam valve), In-Line Steam Injector Device, Ball Feet, and Sanitary Pump (with painted motor) and Self-Acting Brass Steam Valve.
Optional equipment: Swivel Casters, Drain Valve/Port (in front of pump inlet), Stainless Wire Hanging Basket, upgrade to Stainless Motor, Electric Heat, LKH pump, Single/Double Manifold(s) and Cover(s) (split or single).
Hot Water Sets
Regulating & maintaining temperature is a breeze with Hot Water Sets!
- Precise Temperature Control
- Even Heat Distribution (eliminates hot spots; offers quality control/ease of cleaning)
- Lower Pressure (doesn’t require special jacketing)
- A Safer Environment (as opposed to having high pressure steam runs throughout the plant)
Koss Industrial’s hot water sets are designed & fabricated to USDA & WDA Sanitary Standards and are constructed from durable stainless. Heat Exchanger has 3A symbol. We design & fabricate hot water sets to meet the customer’s unique needs.
Available Options include: various material finishes, controls for hot water set, skid/wall mounting, different styles of expansion tanks, insulation, heat exchangers (ASME or U-Tube; 8, 10, 12 in. U-Tube Heat Exchangers operating above 15 psig mawp will be ASME stamped)

Koss Heat Exchangers
Cross Flow- Hot Water Set
- Plate
- Scraped Surface
- Double Tube
- Triple Tube
- U-Tube (4-12″) *150psi standard
Our ASME certified 304 & 316L U-Tube Heat Exchangers provide superior corrosion resistance over carbon steel. Also, the U-Tubes’ construction results in less weld fatigue, giving it a longer lifespan than straight shell & tube models.
