Cheese ribbon cutting solution
In processed cheese production, achieving precise and consistent cuts of stacked cheese ribbons is essential. Challenges include maintaining straight cuts and accommodating high production speeds without crumbling the cheese.
High-speed, precise cheese ribbon cutting
The CrossCutter XC from the Natec Network is designed to continuously cut stacked cheese ribbons to a preset length with exceptional accuracy. Originating from equipment like the FreeSlice®, it ensures absolutely exact and straight cuts prior to the cheese being transported further by a conveyor belt. The CrossCutter XC can handle different types of processed cheese stacks and offers options such as diagonal cutting. This stand-alone unit can be independently installed between the SOS machine and the SOS Stacker or Flowpacker. It features a maximum cutting speed of up to 180 cuts per minute, maintaining cutting precision for stack heights up to 100 mm. Dimensions for the CrossCutter XC are LxWxH: 1,100 x 1,200 x 1,550 mm. It operates on 400 V, 50 Hz, and requires 10 kVA of power.
