In the food industry, precision and efficiency in product slicing and packaging are essential to ensure agile production and high quality standards. Interleaver systems are an indispensable solution in the processing of sausages and cheeses, allowing a precise separation of slices by means of paper or plastic film.
What is an interleaver system?
Interleaver is a polystyrene, paper or plastic film used as a slice separator, especially in products such as sausages and cheeses. Its main objective is to improve the consumer experience by facilitating the separation of the slices and preventing them from sticking together, which improves the presentation and preservation of the final product.
FINOVA Interleaver Solutions
Interleaver. Sheet interleaving
This traditional slicing system is ideal for products such as cheese or ham. It works with plastic or paper sheets and is available in configurations of up to 3 reels to operate on 1, 2 or 3 lanes, depending on the slicer model.
Among its features are the following:
- Sheets with a minimum thickness of 60 microns, guaranteeing a minimum consumption of paper or plastic.
- Extra large reels up to 500 mm in diameter, reducing the need for reel changes and optimizing production time.
- Pressure detectors on the paper or plastic reels to maintain the tension in the film and optimize the slicing process.
Interleaver. SprayFil Technology
SprayFil technology represents an innovation in the insertion of spray additives, allowing the application of non-stick solutions, preservatives or flavorings between slices for maximum versatility in a single system. This system:
- It completely eliminates the use of paper or plastic, offering a more environmentally friendly alternative and reducing costs in the commercialized package.
- It is compatible with different models of FINOVA slicers, provided they are prepared to integrate the SprayFil module.
- It provides flexibility in production, adapting to different needs without compromising product quality.
Applications and implementation
Interleaver systems can be applied in the production of:
- Cured and cooked sausages (ham, sausage, mortadella, etc.)
- Sliced cheeses (cheddar, gouda, emmental, mozzarella, etc.)
- Processed meat products.
The implementation of interleaver systems in the sausage and cheese industry not only improves processing and packaging efficiency, but also contributes to the quality and presentation of the final product.
