A new spray system has been designed for sliced products that keeps each of them apart without any interleaving film Multivac has designed a spray system to replace interleaves that separate thinly sliced or sticky products such as cheese, meats or vegan products. With this sustainable liquid interleaving, there is no longer a requirement for conventional interleaving film between food slices and so the consumption of plastics during the packaging process can be reduced to a minimum. However, these thinly sliced cheese, ham or vegan products are still presented
The new system is designed for slices
attractively in the pack, and the individual slices can be
removed cleanly by the consumer. This new system can be integrated into existing slicer lines, and it is available for individual tests and product development in Multivac’s new Centre of Excellence for Slicers & Automation Solutions. Precision nozzles on the spray system atomise a liquid interleaving medium, which is
both odourless and tasteless and can be tailored to the particular properties such as fat content, of the sliced product. It is applied evenly to the underside of the slices so that adhesion between the individual slices is reduced, but the product itself (taste, smell, colour) is not altered. This procedure is common practice in the food industry with the likes of bakery products or sweets. T 01793 425800 W www.multivac.co.uk
