HIGHEST FLEXIBILITY
IN WRAPPING

Producing individually-wrapped processed cheese slices (IWS) using a continuously operating production method.

FreePack 500

FreePack® 500

The Natec Network FreePack® 500 machine produces individually-wrapped processed cheese slices (IWS) using a continuously operating production method. Wrapping is performed without risk of recontamination using the hot-fill system. The PP foil used is environmentally friendly and recycable. Exact sealing ensures the product to be securely wrapped and sealed. The individually-wrapped slices are easy to open. They are of exactly uniform weight and accurately stacked in piles which remain in exact position during transport from the FreePack® to the Flowpacker.
