Processed cheese slice production system
In the food processing industry, producing cheese slices efficiently while maintaining high quality can be a complex task. Issues like product recontamination and cumbersome cleaning procedures are common challenges faced by manufacturers.
Produce and form processed cheese slices
The FreeSlice® 1500 from Hochland Natec is designed for producing Slice-On-Slice (SOS) cheese products, as well as cubes, shreds, and sticks from processed, analogue, or hybrid cheese. The system uses an integrated laminar flow system to prevent recontamination, ensuring safe and trouble-free production. Additionally, the integrated CIP (Clean-In-Place) system simplifies cleaning and reduces the manpower required for operations to a minimum. The vertical belt design offers high flexibility in adjusting slice thickness and formats. The system’s dimensions are 3,000 x 3,000 x 4,100 mm, and it operates on 400 V, 50 Hz, 3 phase / 46 kVA power. It can process up to 1,800 kg/h (2,100 slices/min) with slices weighing 14 g and can handle cheese ribbons up to 1,100 mm wide with infinitely adjustable thickness ranging from 1.5 mm to 12 mm.
