The EC17 efficiently reduces blocks of cheese into loaves. The machine is ideally suited as a pre-cutter for applications such as cheese slicing and cheese portion cutting. The operator positions blocks of cheese against the backstop on the infeed belt. The cheese advances into the cutting chamber when the machine is available. Blocks are automatically centered for even cut distribution and then pushed through a quick-change wire cutting harp. When enabled, the auto height halving mechanism also centers the horizontal wire. A dedicated push-off mechanism denests one layer at a time. A robot picks individual loaves, orients the cheese with the cut side down and releases them. The EC17 can be configured to release either a single loaf for portion cutting or a group of loaves for slicing applications.
