Agathangelou, a leading manufacturer of dairy processing equipment, has been featured in Dairy Industries International for launching a fully automatic Halloumi and Grilled Cheese production line. Designed for large-scale dairy producers, this advanced system takes efficiency, consistency, and quality to new heights, allowing businesses to meet the growing global demand for Halloumi/Grilled cheese while preserving its authentic characteristics.
Optimizing Production with Advanced Automation
Halloumi has been a staple of Cypriot tradition for centuries, valued for its distinctive texture and high melting point. However, traditional production methods require significant labor, which can lead to inconsistencies in texture and quality.
Agathangelou’s fully automatic production line eliminates these challenges with precision automation. Each stage of the process is carefully optimized to ensure that the cheese maintains its unique qualities while benefiting from the consistency and reliability of advanced technology.
The Halloumi/Grilled Cheese Automatic Production Line
Agathangelou’s newest production line is built for large-scale operations, offering dairy manufacturers a more efficient and reliable way to produce halloumi. The system’s automation reduces labor costs by 70%, streamlining processes while maintaining high production standards. Additionally, it eliminates inconsistencies, ensuring uniform taste, texture, and quality in every batch.
Beyond efficiency, the system enhances yield by 2-3%, a critical advantage for producers looking to maximize output. With minimal manual intervention, operators focus on supervision rather than hands-on processing, improving workflow and reducing operational complexity.
Scalable, High-Performance Technology for Dairy Manufacturers
This production line can process 1,000-3,000 kg of cheese per hour or 50-150 tons of milk per shift, making it ideal for dairy businesses looking to scale up. Double-O cheese vats optimize curd handling, contributing to greater consistency and improved efficiency.
Additional advantages include:
- Customizable output sizes
Produces rectangular pieces, blocks, stacked slices, or folded cheese on the same line.
