Quick facts
Designed for cooling and cutting extruded cheese ropes
Capacity
680 kg/hour (1500 lbs/hour)
Applications
For production of string cheese
The cheese enters the cheese cutter in “rope” form. Contained in 24 individual cooling lanes, the extruded cheese floats to the cutting section on a flow of brine. When the cheese ropes reach the cut sensor, they are cut to a length which is manually set and can be adjusted during operation. After the cheese is cut, it travels to the next stage of the process – typically a brine bath.
