Processed cheese slice forming system
Effortlessly produce high-quality Slice-on-Slice cheese slices, cubes, shreds, and sticks while minimizing cross-contamination and labor requirements, ensuring a streamlined and efficient production process.
Forms and Slices Cheese Variants Efficiently
The FreeSlice 800 from the Natec Network is a versatile system designed for the efficient forming and slicing of various cheese products, including processed, analogue, and hybrid cheese. Its integrated laminar flow system ensures safe production without the risk of recontamination. The system’s vertical belt design allows for adjustable slice thickness, catering to different production requirements. With a capacity to handle up to 800 kg/h, the FreeSlice 800 is ideal for both large-scale operations and R&D settings, thanks to its compact design and integrated cooling unit. The equipment operates on a continuous process, minimizing the need for manpower and streamlining cheese processing. Equipped with a Clean-In-Place (CIP) system, it simplifies cleaning and maintenance, ensuring operational hygiene and reducing downtime. The FreeSlice 800 accommodates a variety of cheese forms, making it suitable for food processing companies across industries like dairy, plant-based, and specialty foods.
