A manipulator with suction cups connected to a vacuum pump and circuit picks up the cheeses in the block forms and sets them down on one or more waiting racks.

Strength of the vacuum in the suction cups, designed by Tecnal, is adjusted to cheeses characteristics.

Removal from moulds by 2, 3, or 4 trays is possible, depending on flow rates.

Mould removal tools match with the removed format bya system of bins which are easy to change and wash. Vacuum circuit washing.

One-by-one block forms mechanical unstacking insures removing of the cheeses from the moulds.

This system is recommended for large formats, such as large blocks to be sliced.
