ATRUM MAKINA chain type vacuum thermoforming machine for cheese
Exclusive Agent & Authorized Distributor for ATRUM MAKINA Thermoforming Machines across the GCC

Pack your cheese under vacuum and gas — longer life and an export-grade look

Taking the oxygen out of the pack is what stops mould and oxidation — and the barrier film is what stops it coming back in.

What this machine gives your factory

Longer life on the shelf

With no oxygen there is no mould growth and no oxidation — which is what opens markets days away from your plant.

Shelf presence that supports export

A clear, tight pack presents the product professionally, and that is a practical condition for getting into retail chains.

Several products on one platform

Vacuum only, MAP, or VSP — by changing the configuration, not the machine.

  • White cheese
  • Kashkaval
  • Butter
  • Milk confectionery

How it works

Chains draw the bottom film through and form it into cavities. The product goes in — white cheese, kashkaval, butter or milk confectionery — and the air is evacuated, or evacuated and then gas flushed (MAP). A high-barrier top film of PA/PE or EVOH/PE is then sealed on and the packs are cut. Removing the oxygen is what prevents mould and oxidation for the whole shelf life.

What you can configure

We build it around your factory — not a fixed model you take as it comes.

  • Film type: rigid or flexible, with PA/PE barriers at 70–120 microns, or the higher-barrier EVOH/PE.
  • Film properties: anti-fog for soft cheeses, and peelable sealing.
  • Packing mode: vacuum only, MAP, or VSP on the same platform.
  • Tooling: multiple moulds to cover different pack sizes.
  • Gas mixture: matched to the product — the common recommendation is 100% CO2 for hard cheeses, and 30% CO2 with 70% N2 for soft and shredded.
  • Quality and traceability: HACCP printer and automatic vacuum testing.

Frequently asked questions

Vacuum or MAP for fragile cheese?
MAP — vacuum alone compresses soft or shredded cheese and distorts it, while a gas cushion protects it.
Which film gives the longest life?
EVOH/PE has the highest oxygen barrier, which is why it is chosen when the target shelf life is long.
Can we change pack sizes?
Yes — with multiple moulds swapped to the size you need.
Will it work on our factory's power?
We review your site specification and confirm 380V / 60Hz compatibility before you order.

What shelf life are you targeting?

Send us the cheese type and the shelf life you need, and we will recommend the film and gas mixture.
