High‑speed vertical packaging with modified atmosphere technology for shredded and cubed cheeses The Vertical Shredded or Cubed Cheese Packer (MAP) is a vertical form‑fill‑seal (VFFS) system specifically engineered for the packaging of natural and analog cheeses under Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) conditions, with capacities of up to 80 packages per minute. The machine operates on a continuous vertical flow principle optimized for pressure‑sensitive products. Cheese is conveyed through a Teflon‑coated stainless‑steel forming tube, minimizing friction and preventing product damage or flow restriction. To protect product integrity, the system integrates an intelligent double‑gate dosing mechanism consisting of coarse and fine flow control. This two‑stage dosing ensures precise target weights without compacting or crushing high‑moisture, shredded, cubed, or analog cheeses. During the sealing cycle, a controlled gas mixture (N₂ / CO₂) is injected to displace residual oxygen prior to final sealing. This MAP process enhances microbiological safety and significantly extends product shelf life while maintaining visual and structural quality. Key benefits • Prevents compaction and deformation in high‑moisture cheeses • Extends shelf life through controlled inert gas injection • Preserves visual integrity of shredded and cubed cheese products • Reduces giveaway through high‑precision weight control • Maintains high production speed without compromising gentle handling The Vertical Shredded or Cubed Cheese Packer (MAP) delivers consistent weight accuracy, superior product presentation, and extended freshness, making it an ideal packaging solution for modern cheese processing operations.
