Tetra Pak® Exact Weight String is used for moulding and cutting precise diameters and lengths of pasta filata string cheese. It is fully automated requiring little or no operator intervention.
In contrast to traditional extrusion process, this system eliminates the risk of diameter and length variations.
Machine for precision moulding and cutting of string cheese
Up to 340 kg/hr
Pasta filata
Patented volumetric filling
In contrast to traditional extrusion process, this system eliminates the risk of diameter and length variations. The extrusion tube feeds directly into the mould cavity, maintaining the exact volume required. This unique method reduces variations in output to below 0.5 grams – well below the industry average.
Mould casettes
The unit is built on modules, which means that when you want to produce sticks of a different cheese diameter - within the range of14mm (0.55”) to 20.64mm (0.81”) - only the three mould cassettes and pins need to be changed. The switch can be performed in just a few minutes.
Overhead vision system
A vision system placed above the mould pins detects when all the mould cavities have been filled and activates the patented cutting mechanism. This eliminates the need for sensors in the product area – increasing reliability and reducing the risk of product contamination.
