Modules for Slicing and Portioning Lines Whether a cheese cutting line works economically is already decided at the block pre-cutting stage. The exact pre-cutting into bars of, for example, a film-ripened Gouda is essential for its successful processing in subsequent steps, be it cutting into pieces or slices. For a high degree of line automation ALPMA can supply you with various elements such as segment separating and grouping modules, bar magazines, storage units and turning systems. BTS 600 – Flexible block dividing system of modular design. For automatic cutting, turning and grouping operations according to requirements. CUT 27 – Bar cutter for the automatic feeding of downstream cutting machines. The blocks are measured and individually cut into bars. SB 230/12 – The dynamic buffering belt ensures the correct synchronization between the cutting machine and the continuous type packaging machine. RM – This bar magazine is the optimum storage unit for placement in front of any piece cutter or slicer. Differences in height between the block divider and piece cutter/slicer are taken in its stride. VESTOR II/S – The vertical buffering system with as many as 40 storage places can be used to synchronize any cutting line with a downstream bag packaging machine. TURN II/S with taring station – The logical conclusion to every slicer. The portions which are cut in a double shaft can be separated, turned and aligned before being forwarded to the downstream buffering and packaging machines. And the TURN II/S also tares products with the wrong weight – simultaneously in a single work step. TS B/150 – This taring belt system performs the re-taring for you so that no cheese is wasted.
