“We know what we need – and therefore only the systems of Hydewa are an option for us.” Thomas Kaufmann, Operations Manager.
The cooperative Dorf-Sennerei Schlins-Röns, whose history dates back to the 19th century, exclusively produces traditional mountain cheese made from raw milk.
In a time when the farmers who deliver milk to the local dairy processing plant are constantly declining, a small dairy operation can only survive if it meets the highest quality standards. To meet these high demands the company decided to utilize Glasbord® panels from Hydewa. Two ripening cellars, the storage room, the wash room, as well as the connecting passage to the old building now have ceilings and walls covered with Glasbord®.
“Reliable hygiene and the subsequent cost aspect were decisive for our decision to select the system from Hydewa. Additionally, the new equipment had to absolutely avoid mould growth and the reactions caused by the ammonia which develops during the ripening process.”
T. Kaufmann
In the ripening rooms, there is an air humidity between 96 – 98%. If the raw material is utilize here is possible that condensation could form. If, in the worst-case, this water drips onto the fine cheese it will become useless. With the Glasbord® system used here, a condensation and thus a mould adhesion is impossible. Routing work, such as drain or electrical lines, are never routed through holes in the wall, but rather always laid on top of the panels, in order to prevent the formation of condensation around the bore holes.
