WEDGE CUTTING MACHINE MOD. ATENA BIG-3

Product catalog summary

Operating Principle
The wedge cutter is designed to cut hard or semi-hard cheese discs or wheels into wedges with precise weight or geometry. The process involves three main phases:

Infeed Product Weighing Phase: The cheese is weighed on a scale belt.
Centering and Cutting Phase: The cheese is centered under the cutting blade, which rotates to cut the cheese into wedges. There are two cutting options: a single blade for precision and a fixed double blade for higher productivity.
Unloading Phase: The cut wedges are transported by a conveyor belt to the exit tunnel.

The machine assumes the cheese is circular and without imperfections for fixed weight configurations.

Manufacturing Characteristics

Stainless steel base with adjustable feet.
Independent stainless steel frame for the infeed weighing belt.
Safety guards with stainless steel and lexan panels.
FDA-certified conveyor belt with fast tensioning system.
Brushless motor-driven centering, rotation, and cutting system.
