Processed cheese slice production system
Reduce recontamination risks in cheese production with a system designed for high-speed, continuous output, offering flexibility in producing various cheese formats from slices to shreds.
Forms and Slices Cheese Products Efficiently
The FreeSlice 1500 from the Natec Network is an engineered-to-order cheese processing system designed to enhance your production line. Specializing in cooling, forming, and slicing, this system produces high-quality Slice-On-Slice cheese slices, cubes, shreds, and sticks. It incorporates an integrated Clean-In-Place (CIP) system, ensuring seamless and contamination-free cleaning, and an innovative laminar flow design to prevent recontamination. Capable of processing up to 1,800 kg/h, it delivers productivity with minimal labor intervention. The system’s automation features enable efficient operation within continuous production environments, and its flexibility supports the production of processed, analogue, and hybrid cheeses, making it ideal for food, dairy, and plant-based industries. Designed to meet CE guidelines, the FreeSlice 1500 ensures compliance and reliability in diverse applications.
