Due to factors such as the importance of production efficiency, uniformity, and compliance with food safety regulations within the global cheese processing industry,
frozen food supply chain industry and catering supply chain industry; Hexu Machinery (leading manufacturer of food processing equipment) has launched its new
HX-40 Cheese Shredding & Weighing Machine - a totally automated cheese shredding and weighing system - to help customers meet their goals of producing more
efficiently and safely than ever before.
The HX-40 consists of a high-performance rotating cutter disc designed specifically for shredding cheese into either continuous uniform strips regardless of the type
of cheese being used, or to provide the customer with a fully customized cut size to accommodate their unique product requirements (for example, fine shredded
cheese for pizza toppings), or thick strips of cheese for snack purposes). In addition, this machine can be utilized with all types of cheeses regardless of the hardness
or temperature and will always produce clean and even cuts.
Once the cheese has been processed, the machine automatically dispenses it into an integrated collection tray equipped with high precision weighing sensors. The
moment the machine detects that the user has reached the preset target weight (based upon their requirements), the HX-40 automatically shuts off and continues to
operate until the user removes the tray with the processed cheese and replaces it with another empty collection tray/collection bin. As soon as this occurs, the HX-40
resumes processing almost immediately without any additional resetting or interruption of operation.
In addition, the HX-40 is capable of detecting when insufficient cheese remains to complete a full batch of processed cheese; when this happens, the HX-40 will
automatically turn off and elevate its cylinder to indicate to users that they are going to run out of processed cheese, thereby eliminating product waste and the need
to produce any partial batches of processed cheese.
The HX-40 is built entirely from food grade 304 stainless steel and complies with worldwide food contact safety standards; it has excellent durability and can be easily
cleaned for use in high production environments on a daily basis. The machine is available in pneumatic (uses existing air compressor systems) or electric (powered
by servo electric cylinder) versions, which allows you to use them in different types of workshops without having to upgrade your facilities. It has several built-in sensors
to allow automated operation, and there is a very simple user interface that makes staff training minimal; the reduced labour costs are estimated at up to 40% less than
shredding manually plus weighing afterwards using the HX-40.
Whether you are a small artisanal cheese producer or a large industrial processing plant, the HX-40 can be custom manufactured in whatever dimensions are needed to
fit into the limited space available in your workshop. Full technical specifications and price quotation requests can be found on the product page of the manufacturer's
website located at www.hexumachinery.com/e_products_show/?id=228.
