Cheese portion thermoforming system for automation
Optimize your cheese production with precision portioning and efficient thermoforming, ensuring consistent quality for various cheese sizes and types.

Portions, Loads, and Thermoforms Cheese
The Cheese Loading Portion Thermoforming Machine by Gelmini Macchine is engineered to optimize your cheese processing line with precision and versatility. This equipment specializes in seamlessly portioning, loading, and thermoforming cheese of varying sizes and densities, including hard and soft varieties. It efficiently integrates into continuous, high-speed production environments, making it ideal for cheese producers and dairy processors.
Using an automated align-and-load system, the machine ensures streamlined product flow to downstream processes. Designed to handle a range of end-products like round cheese, block cheese, and snack-size portions, it maximizes throughput while maintaining consistent product quality. Enhanced with a versatile seizing head, this machine allows flexible cross-line or inline unloading configurations.
With PLC-controlled operations, the Cheese Loading Portion Thermoforming Machine offers remote monitoring capabilities, ensuring seamless integration into existing automation frameworks. Its energy-efficient features reduce operational costs, thanks to optimized motor control systems. Constructed with durable material options, it guarantees long-lasting performance and can be customized to fit specific production requirements. For maintenance ease and effective cleaning, it supports clean-in-place (CIP) systems, ensuring hygiene and minimal downtime.
