Cheese Hoops
Block Cheese Hoops, also commonly referred to as cheese molds (moulds) or forms, are a necessity to the cheese making process.
Koss Industrial, Inc. manufactures these cheese hoops using the Wilson Hoop style design, which is suitable for virtually every specialty cheese. The rectangular-shaped cheese hoop boxes are made from 14 gauge stainless steel and the cheese hoop of the box, liner, cover, and (2) pins. Koss manufactures both the 20 pound and the 40 pound cheese moulds.
Check Valves
The check valve is designed to use in sanitary stainless steel pipe systems. The check valve is responsible for preventing the reverse product flow. This valve is versatile because it can be installed either vertically or horizaontally. Pictured here is Alfa Laval’s “Y”-Body check valve.
Centrifugal Pump
One of the most common series of centrifugal pumps would have to be the C-Series pumps. Many distributors carry this pump, making it virtually universal. This pump has been an industry standard for many years.
Koss Industrial has the C series pumps available to purchase online. For sizing your pump correctly, give John Koss at Koss Industrial (1-800-844-6261), Inc. a call to ensure your getting exactly what you need at an everyday affordable price.
High-Quality Shut Off Valves
No matter what it is containing, a shut off valve is one of the most important elements of a piece of heavy machinery. As you can probably ascertain from its name, the valve serves to cease the flow of some substance through the apparatus. Because it serves such an importance purpose, it is important to invest in a quality part.
Stainless steel is always a good bet when it comes to machinery, and this is the case with a shut off valve too. You want to look for a model that has a manufacturer warranty and guarantee that backs up the performance of the product. While the part may be relatively small, the role that it plays in the operation of the machine is huge.
Butterfly Valve
The role of a butterfly valve is to regulate the flow in which the disc takes the form of the disk. This process is similar to the process of the ball valve. The disc is positioned in the center of the pipe, and has a rod passing through, which is connected to an actuator on the outside of the valve. Rotating the actuator turns the disc either parallel of perpendicular to the flow. The disc is always present within the flow, which means a pressure drop is then induced in the flow, no matter what the valve position is. This is the major difference from the ball valve.
Blender
Koss Industrial, Inc. designs and fabricates stainless steel blenders. These blenders are used for volume mixing. Pictured here is a twin screw ribbon blender Koss manufactured. This ribbon blender was designed with CIP-able construction. The screws in this unit are reversible, which is beneficial for unloading and various blending procedures.
Ball Valve
A ball valve is a valve with a spherical disc, which is the part of the valve that controls the flow through it. The sphere has a port through the middle, so that when the port is in line with both ends of the valve, flow will occur through it. When the valve is closed the port is blocked, not allowing the flow through. A ball valve is considered to be in the same “family” as the butterfly valve and plug valve, which is referred to as the “quarter turn valves” family.
Koss Industrial offers a wide variety of these valves including the brands TRIAC and Jamflow.
Baldor Motor
Baldor motors are a common thought when one hears the company Baldor, but Baldor also has a more extensive line of products. Baldor carries many products including AC motors & controls, DC motors & controls, servo motors & controls, gear motors & products, linear motors & products (as pictured), and much more!
Titanium Plate Heat Exchangers
Titanium Plate Heat Exchangers are ideal for the heating or cool of corrosive products, such as salt brine or acids. Alfa Laval’s FrontLine and BaseLine (as pictured) Plate Heat Exchangers, as well as industrial units (with painted frames) are an example of these titanium plate heat exchangers.
As an Authorized Distributor of Alfa Laval products, Koss Industrial can correctly size a plate heat exchanger to you requirements.
