Take Your Slice on Slice Process Cheese Production to a Whole New Level with the Servo-Controlled HART 20-ESW IWS Extruder
The 20-ESW IWS Extruder Process
The HART IWS Extruder forms processed cheese into individual wrapped slices. Hot liquid cheese is pumped into a preformed continuous tube of film. The tube is then:
- Flattened into a ribbon
- Formed into slices
- Crimped
- Sealed with servo driven rotary heat bars
- Cooled with chilled water
- Cut to length
The individual slices are then stacked into a predetermined number of slices.
