Loading Mozzarella Blocks into a Dicing Machine

Company
This application was designed for a plant specialising in pizza cheese (mozzarella), ingredient cheeses and dry dairy products such as casein and powder. The plant belongs to the dairy division of a French agricultural and food cooperative group.
To increase productivity, the company decided to replace the pre-dicer and shredders on a mozzarella-block shredding line.
Project & solution
To meet this requirement, JYGA took part in installing a system for loading mozzarella blocks into the dicing machine.
The mozzarella blocks arrive from a distribution module. They are then picked by a robot fitted with a gripper designed for the blocks. The robot feeds the dicer by placing the blocks on a new conveyor.
The mozzarella blocks are then conveyed to a shredder and subsequently to a bagging machine.

Benefits of the JYGA solution
- Automated loading: continuous dicer feeding without manual handling.
- 6-axis robot: dedicated gripper for handling mozzarella blocks.
- Sustained throughput: up to 40 blocks/min to keep pace with the shredder and bagging machine.</l
- Compact machine: reduced footprint for integration into cheese production.
- Increased productivity: removal of the pre-dicer and optimisation of the line.
- Safety and ergonomics: less manual handling of heavy blocks by operators.
