High-speed cheese slice wrapper
Achieve unparalleled efficiency with the high-speed wrapping machine that securely packages up to 2,200 cheese slices per minute while minimizing material usage and operational costs, perfect for optimizing your large-scale processed cheese production line.
Wraps and Stacks Cheese Slices Efficiently
The FreePack 2000 from the Natec Network is an innovative cheese slice wrapping machine designed to optimize the processed cheese production line. This machine operates on a continuously running production method, wrapping up to 2,200 individually-wrapped processed cheese slices per minute, allowing for high-speed operations without risking recontamination via its specialized hot-fill system. Utilizing 20% less wrapping material through efficient seam welding, the FreePack 2000 supports sustainable operations while delivering uniformly weighted slices neatly stacked for easy downstream processing.
Ideal for processed cheese manufacturers, this machine excels in various applications, including cream cheese, mozzarella sticks, and vegan cheese alternatives. The FreePack 2000 offers dual-lane operation, producing different types of cheese simultaneously with each lane capable of wrapping 1,100 slices per minute. Equipped with an intuitive central control surveillance system, it integrates smoothly into automated packaging lines, maintaining consistent output quality with minimal operator intervention.
The machine’s ability to adjust slice weight, thickness, and stack size caters to diverse product specifications, supporting flexibility in production. Compliance with CE guidelines ensures safety and quality standards, while its robust construction minimizes wear and tear, enhancing long-term operational efficiency.
