Cheese ribbon cutting solution

Achieve precise and efficient cheese ribbon cutting with high-speed operations, ensuring perfect portioning and stacking for diverse food products.

Slices and Portions Cheese with Precision

The CrossCutter XC from the Natec Network is engineered to deliver exact slicing and portioning for an array of food products, including processed and specialty cheeses. Specializing in continuous operation, this machine efficiently slices and stacks cheese ribbons, such as those from FreeSliceĀ® systems, ensuring each cut is perfectly straight or optional diagonal without crumps. Its robust design supports high-speed cutting rates of up to 180 cuts per minute, accommodating two lanes for increased throughput. Versatile in its application, it caters to a diverse range of products from cheese slices to deli meats and plant-based foods. The CrossCutter XC integrates seamlessly into existing processing lines, positioned as a standalone unit between other machinery like the SOS Stacker or Flowpacker, facilitating both right and left production flows. Constructed to align with CE guidelines, this unit promises reliable operation with compressed air utility requirements and adjustable cutting lengths ranging from 35 mm to 305 mm. Customizable options, such as an automatic greasing system, further enhance its efficiency and adaptability, supporting your needs with extensive engineering support and compliance with food safety standards.
