Question 1

What types of products can this machine cut?

Accepted Answer

The SIGMA machine is designed for cutting soft and semi-hard cheeses, such as Gouda, Edam, Emmental, Maasdam, Tilsit, or Gruyère. The CNC system automatically adjusts the pressure and cutting dynamics to the cheese structure, allowing it to slice both highly elastic cheeses and denser, ripened wheels.

Question 2

What makes the SIGMA slicer different from other cheese cutting machines?

Accepted Answer

Our cheese slicer is the only one on the market with an automatic cheese wheel centering system. Furthermore, adding it to your machinery saves space and increases production capacity to 2 tons of cheese per shift without the need to hire new employees. Our top priority is the safety of our employees, which is why the Sigma Cheese Wheel Slicer features the latest safety systems, including safety curtains. It also allows for rapid die replacement.

Question 3

How does the automatic cheese centering system work?

Accepted Answer

Once the wheel diameter is entered, the machine's arm precisely aligns the cheese relative to the cutting die. The CNC system guides the movement to ensure even load distribution on the blades. The result: portions are always equal, perfectly aligned, and without weight discrepancies between segments.

Question 4

Is the machine suitable for large-scale processing plants?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The SIGMA is designed for continuous operation in large cheesemaking plants. Average throughput is up to 2 tons per shift, while maintaining consistent repeatability and minimal downtime. The structure is made entirely of stainless steel, compliant with hygiene standards for plants with a high level of sanitary requirements. However, it is also suitable for smaller plants looking to increase productivity without hiring new staff and modernize their existing solutions.
