Paneer & Cheese Processing Plant

Paneer processing

 

GOMA Engineering offers fully integrated paneer and cheese processing plants that deliver top-tier hygiene, automation, and efficiency. Our turnkey systems cover the complete process—from milk curdling, cutting, and pressing to whey handling and final packaging—ensuring consistent, high-quality output. Designed for modern dairy demands, our solutions cater to traditional paneer, a variety of soft and hard cheeses, and by-products like whey and churpi. Built using food-grade stainless steel and modular layouts, our plants ensure easy cleaning, operational flexibility, and compliance with global standards. With paneer consumption growing at a CAGR of 12.5% and cheese at 26%, GOMA’s semi-automatic and fully automatic plants provide a scalable edge for both new and expanding dairy facilities.

Applications

Traditional Indian Paneer

Traditional Indian Paneer

Our equipment supports the efficient production of high-quality, soft, and fresh paneer made through acid coagulation. The process ensures consistent texture and taste, with options for block, cube, or sliced formats.

Processed Cheese Blocks

Processed Cheese Blocks

Suitable for mass production of processed cheese that requires melting and reformation, typically used in fast food chains, sandwiches, and ready-to-eat meals.

Soft and Hard Cheese

Soft and Hard Cheese

From mozzarella and cream cheese to cheddar, gouda, and parmesan, our modular systems allow the production of diverse cheese types with accurate control over temperature, fermentation, and aging.

Whey Collection and Processing

Whey Collection and Processing

During paneer and cheese production, whey is a valuable by-product rich in proteins and nutrients. Our systems support the collection, filtration, and optional concentration of whey for downstream applications.
