Dedicated cheese slicer gives good thickness control

摘要

A dedicated slicer for cheese applications has been introduced by Norwich-based Thurne, which is based on the company's compact Polyslicer 1000 platform. The new slicer has been optimised to provide efficient cheese slicing and features a range of cheese specific components and blades that reduce friction and, therefore, product build up.This is said to provide better slice thickness control and ensure high quality product presentation. The machine is available with both orbital and involute head, enabling slicing of stacked (＜ 100mm) and shingled retail and foodservice packs at high speeds. An optional interleaver, which can be added as a retrofit if required, supports multi-lane interleaving of shingles and stacks up to 80mm at speeds up to 700 slices a minute.
