Why cheese wax data is important

Experience and data - a powerful combination

Producing cheese requires precision and a deep understanding of its unique needs. The experience and long-standing professional knowledge of dairy professionals are invaluable, but adding data can make judgements even more accurate. Analytical methods provide measurable results that support and improve processes.

When experience and data are combined, you can achieve:

• Optimal quality

Data provides a solid foundation to ensure consistent and reliable results, which improves existing insights and ensures that the wax properties perfectly match the cheese’s needs.
 

• Efficient production

With analytics, production can be optimised and errors reduced. In-depth knowledge makes it possible to choose a wax that works perfectly with both equipment and cheese.
 

• Customised solutions

Cheese waxes need to be customised to the type of cheese and the production environment. The combination of data and experience makes it possible to create solutions that match your exact needs.
 

• Reduced waste

Data provides faster insight into the properties of the wax and minimises the need for repeated trials, which saves time and resources.

Seven analysis methods ensure the right choice

ProCera® cheese wax is developed with a focus on both innovation and precision. We can document the wax’s properties through seven different analysis methods. These methods include:

• ASTM standard methods - internationally recognised methods.
• Methods developed with the Danish Technological Institute - tailored to specific needs in cheese production.
• Procudan-developed methods - designed to ensure innovation and customisation.

Product Manager for cheese wax, Maja Duelund, explains:

- We ensure an in-depth understanding of cheese wax properties with our different analysis methods - from solidification point and viscosity to strength, flexibility and attachment. This allows our customers to choose the optimal solution tailored to the cheese’s needs and production requirements.

All analyses are performed in Procudan’s own laboratory.

ProCera® WaxLab: Efficient testing on a smaller scale

When testing changes or new products, ProCera® WaxLab is an important resource. This mini-scale equipment makes it possible to test cheese wax under realistic conditions on smaller batches of cheese. This means we can reduce cheese waste, shorten development time and drive results - all with a focus on optimising existing and new solutions.

Combining efficiency and innovation, the ProCera® WaxLab is the dairy industry’s tool to ensure that cheese wax meets the highest standards.
