How to Pack Cheese in Cup

Packing cheese in a cup involves using a hygienic, precise filling and sealing system that depends on the type of cheese being packed—such as cream cheese, shredded cheese, cheese spread, or cheese sauce.

Cheese Types Commonly Packed in Cups:

General Cheese Cup Packing Process:

1. Cup Feeding

• Automatic denester places empty plastic or paper cups onto conveyor or rotary table.

2. Cheese Filling

• Filler injects cheese accurately into cups. Temperature-controlled systems may be required for melted cheese or hot-fill sauces.

3. Lid Placement

• Pre-cut foil lids

• Roll film with die-cutting

• Snap-on plastic lids (for shredded cheese)

• Options:

4. Sealing

• Heat sealing (commonly used for cream cheese or sauces) ensures hermetic seal.

5. Date Coding (optional)

• Inkjet or thermal transfer printer applies expiry date and batch number.

6. Discharge & Packing

• Cups exit via conveyor for cartoning or shrink wrapping.

✅ Key Machine Requirements:

• Filling Machine Type: Servo/piston filler for viscous cheese, auger or weigher for shredded cheese.

• Material Handling: SS304/316 for food safety.

• Cleaning: CIP (clean-in-place) or easy disassembly for dairy hygiene.

• Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP): Optional for longer shelf life (especially for shredded cheese).
