FoodTools machines slice cheese, butter and other dairy products or fats with wire harps, single wires, or stainless steel blades. Cheese wheels can be portioned into wedges, blocks into smaller blocks, and wheels with hard rinds can be scored and then sliced into horizontal slabs.

Producing high quality dairy products is important, but can also be challenging. Having dependable test results and easy-to-use equipment keeps product quality on track and the entire plant operating smoothly.
During the height of the pandemic, interest in automation accelerated. Companies used automation to lower the density of workers on the plant floor and create a healthier environment. Now dairy companies are automating for high assured output, lower waste and the capacity to meet rising demand and changing market tastes.
When specifying or designing dairy processing equipment, the first criterion is functionality for its purpose. But it is critical to remember that functionality includes cleaning and sanitizing. It is commonly thought that cleaning and sanitizing is the last step in the process, but it is not — it’s the first step.
