FreeSlice for pasta fiata/mozzarella/pizza cheese production

For pizza cheese production usually blocks are shredded diced into small pieces to be distributed evenly on pizza. To jump the time-consuming and labour-intensive process steps from forming blocks, colling in cold water to shredding, the FreeSlice system offers a continuous forming, cooling and shredding process to produce pizza cheese in just a few minutes.

FreePack for individually processed cheese slices

The Natec Network FreePack machine produces Individually Wrapped processed cheese Slices (IWS) using a continuously operating production method. Wrapping is performed without risk of recontamination using the hot-fill system. Exact sealing ensures the product to be securely wrapped and sealed.

Along with our machines, we at Natec Network also provide our expertise for every step of the processed cheese production.

RotaTherm for versatile food processing

The Natec Network RotaTherm is a unique, single-stage continuous cooker with direct steam injection. It provides significant flexibility, automation and control across a diverse range of products and processing conditions, delivering considerable benefits.

When it comes to processed cheese production, the agitation creates the characteristic smooth and uniform cheese texture. The RotaTherm offers the best control over the firmness and overall texture of the end product. The RotaTherm also enables UHT processing, which extends the shelf life so that, requiring less stringent refrigeration.

 When producing pasta filata cheese, fresh curd or shredded cagliata blocks are usually heated and kneaded by a wet cooker, which - batch by batch - heats the curd in hot water or brine to soften it. Using the RotaTherm is an innovative continuous method, which does not require neither hot water nor brine.

 The RotaTherm also enables optimized processing of numerous other product types, viscosities and compositions such as meat, sauces, pet food, purees, baby food and more.

 

ShearTherm for homogeneous, lump-free food processing

The Natec Network ShearTherm  is specifically developed to include basic process requirements and extensive shear and emulsification options, in a modular design that can be individually adapted to the customers’ needs. Many processes are combined and controlled in the small  ShearTherm  footprint, delivering maximum process, recipe and application flexibility. With full control of all process functions it delivers excellent finished product characteristics and quality.

The ShearTherm is the perfect choice for high powder concentrated and plant-based products. In combination with the innovative and unique Magnet for Emulsion (M4E) technology and a special multidirectional premixer and agitator, the ShearTherm ensures short and efficient mixing of all ingredients.
