LEADING CHEESE PRODUCER BUILDS ON MULTIPOND QUALITY

When it comes to weighing his high-quality products, Technical Manager Uwe Grünemeyer relies solely on the multihead weighing systems from MULTIPOND.

REQUIREMENTS

Before the company acquired this system, the small mozzarella balls (piece weight: 7.5 to 8.5 grams) were placed in their trays by means of a counting system. They were unable to be packed by precise weight. The cheese producer once again turned to MULTIPOND to solve the problem. A further combination weighing system for optimizing the mozzarella balls line in the factory in Cham, Switzerland was acquired.

Solutions

An MP 1601-FFC-S5 type 16-head memory weigher was installed by the experienced MULTIPOND engineers. The extremely tough hygiene requirements, especially in the soft cheese sector, played a key role. Therefore, the weigher had to be designed and constructed according to Goldsteig’s precise specifications. Bacteria-prone zones such as vibrators, prefeed hoppers and weigh hoppers were afforded special merit and built in accordance with Goldsteig’s requirements. The product-carrying parts, chutes and funnels were further optimized in order to achieve the required output of up to 4 x 40 weighings per minute.
