The project

‍‍

The packaging of hard cheeses is a complex technical challenge: the irregular shapes, the need to preserve intense aromas and the management of the “respiration” of the product require precise solutions. With the thermoformer VKF70, we have responded to these needs by integrating two packaging technologies on a single machine:

‍

1. Protective Atmosphere (MAP): Ideal for retail distribution, it guarantees an extended shelf-life while keeping intact the organoleptic characteristics and aesthetics of the portion with a wrap-around label.
2. Vacuum packed: Perfect for high-end retail and export. The film adheres to the cheese's irregular profile, offering a premium presentation and a total oxygen barrier.

‍

The VKF70 allows you to switch from one system to another with quick format changes, adapting to different sizes without ever compromising the quality of the sealing.

Results & Benefits

‍

• Integrated multitechnology: MAP and Vacuum on a single line with immediate format change.
• Extended Shelf-life: total preservation of the aromatic bouquet and organoleptic properties.
• Maximum flexibility: optimal management of different sizes and irregular profiles.
• Versatile distribution: solutions suitable for both large scale retail and niche international markets.
• Advanced quality control: constant monitoring of the oxygen residue (MAP) and the degree of vacuum.
• Sustainable Packaging: reduction of film thickness thanks to special measures in the forming area.
