Efficiently transform pre-divided cheese loaves into neatly segmented servings with high-speed precision, enhancing production throughput while minimizing waste in your processing line.

Cuts and Segments Cheese and Plant-Based Products

The SC Basic from ALPMA Alpenland Maschinenbau GmbH is an ultrasonic cutter designed to enhance efficiency in cheese and plant-based product processing. Utilizing advanced ultrasonic technology, it ensures precise cutting and segmenting of pre-divided yellow and hard cheese loaves into uniform cheddar segments, mozzarella portions, paneer slices, and tofu wedges. Capable of up to 100 blade strokes per minute, it supports diameters from 160 to 450 mm and heights between 50 to 140 mm. This cheese and plant-based product cutting solution is ideal for dairy producers and food processing companies aiming for high-speed continuous operations. The SC Basic integrates seamlessly into your production line, requiring manual operation when placing cheese loaves on the infeed belt but automating the cutting and transportation of finished segments. Available with robust material options to withstand demanding processing environments, it supports easy cleaning and maintenance.
