Cheese Applications

Effectively removes cheese mold and reduces cross contamination.

Cut and Vacuum Away Cheese Mold

The  Whizard® TrimVac™ provides the quickest and cleanest method for removing surface mold from cheese wheels.  TrimVac marries patented Whizard® Trimmer technology with a powerful vacuum system to provide efficient removal of cheese mold.  Operators now have a fast and effective method to trim and vacuum away mold in a way that reduces worker fatigue and potential for cross contamination.

Preferred Method

The TrimVac process helps control labor costs associated with mold removal, while making it easier for plants to meet customer requirements.

How it Works

The TrimVac is used to trim and contain cheese mold, preventing the possibility of cross contamination. Various blades are available that enhance scraping action on the cheese surface, or digging out internal mold growth.  Pneumatically powered, the TrimVac uses a rotating blade to provide the cutting action, while a highly effective vacuum system removes mold.  Material is conveyed so mold spores do not come into contact with other cheese, workers or the floor.  The work area has less opportunity for contamination, and the process is simplified.
