Nov 10 2011 --- Tetra Pak, the world leader in food processing and packaging solutions, is launching the next-generation of its successful Cheddar cheese blockforming unit. The new Tetra Tebel Blockformer enables cheese manufacturers to improve environmental performance, reduce costs and minimize product loss.
“Our Tetra Tebel Blockformers are known for their excellent quality, high throughput, high accuracy, low product losses, good hygiene and low maintenance. Now we’ve made them even better, said Mark Boxall, Category Director, Cheese and Whey, Tetra Pak.
