The
machines used for cheese packing can be based on different techniques like
vacuum packing, flow pack etc. Now a days, these packing machines are most
commonly available in two variants; horizontal and vertical flow pack
machines.
The reason for increased usage of flow pack vis a vis vacuum packing or
other similar systems is that the flow pack machines allow rapid size change
operations (2-3 minutes) without the need to replace mechanical parts, molds
or other such operations.
With the advancing technologies, it is no longer necessary to use heavy,
thick packaging materials, in fact a single roll of very fine material is
sufficient to pack cheese of different sizes. these machines also insulate
them completely from the outside atmosphere, in close fitting airtight
wrappers.
With flow pack wrapping machines, many types of cheese can be easily
packed. Some of them are :
- Fresh or mature cheese portions
- Cheese slices
- Grated and/or diced cheese
- Mozzarella type cheese
