Tetra Pak launches next generation Cheese Production Unit

Tetra Pak, the world leader in food processing and packaging solutions, is today launching the next-generation of its successful Cheddar cheese blockforming unit. The new Tetra Tebel Blockformer enables cheese manufacturers to improve environmental performance, reduce costs and minimize product loss.

“Our Tetra Tebel Blockformers are known for their excellent quality, high throughput, high accuracy, low product losses, good hygiene and low maintenance. Now we’ve made them even better, said Mark Boxall, Category Director, Cheese and Whey, Tetra Pak.

Thanks to lower energy consumption the new units offer a 25 percent CO2 reduction compared to the Tetra Tebel Blockformer 5 TwinVac version. The reduced use of air, water and electricity results in a 20 percent running cost reduction per kg cheese. In addition, weight accuracy is improved by as much as 20 percent.
