Product overview

The MACH-I ultrasonic cutting line is designed to convert 40 lb cheese blocks into uniform, fixed-weight portions with high precision and process stability. Thanks to its high-frequency ultrasonic technology with micron-level amplitude control, the blade can penetrate the cheese without compressing it, ensuring a clean, consistent, and repeatable cut, even on fragile or sticky products.

The equipment can adapt quickly to different product formats. Width, height and weight specifications can be changed rapidly using pre-programmed recipes, allowing most product changeovers to happen automatically without operator intervention.

In a typical production line, 40 lb blocks are first reduced into long cheese bars by upstream equipment. These bars are then fed automatically into the MACH-I, creating a continuous and integrated flow designed for high-throughput environments.

The control architecture is based on Allen Bradley technology combined with digital servomotors, which drive both the conveyor indexing axis and the guillotine assembly. Our software integrates laser measurements and dynamic scale data to continuously adjust cut lengths and achieve highly accurate fixed-weight portions.

The MACH-I is suitable for a wide range of sensitive food products such as soft bars, caramel, pastry or confectionery. In-house laboratory testing has demonstrated excellent performance even on fresh, delicate cheeses. A 3D camera system measures each incoming cheese bar and sends dimensional data to the processor to ensure consistently accurate cuts.

Mechanically, the machine features a cantilevered conveyor design that facilitates assembly, disassembly, cleaning and maintenance. The ergonomic layout improves operator accessibility, while an integrated end-trim rejection mechanism enhances process efficiency. A touchscreen operator interface with product recipes simplifies setup and commissioning. The unit is built for 24/7 continuous operation and meets the protection requirements of industry standards.
