HEAVY-DUTY CHEESE RIPENING BOXES

Customized solutions for the efficient ripening and storage of Euroblocks.

SOLUTION DEVELOPMENT FOR EVERY OPERATION

At STEINBAUER, we develop and manufacture custom-made cheese ripening boxes for the efficient storage and handling of Euroblocks during the ripening process. We adapt the design to the specific requirements – the method of loading, stacking, handling and sanitation – as well as to the specific operating conditions. From the first design through prototyping and testing to serial production, we keep the entire process under control.

DESIGNED FOR OPERATION, HYGIENE AND A LONG SERVICE LIFE

We see the ripening box as part of the production process. The goal is the safe storage of the Euroblocks, efficient use of space, stable stacking and robotic handling combined with manual handling. We design the structural details, materials and load-bearing pallet with regard to mechanical stress, repeated use and the requirements of the operation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT CHEESE RIPENING BOXES

Yes. We adapt every solution to the dimensions of the Euroblocks, the required capacity, the method of stacking, the handling equipment and the conditions of the ripening warehouse. The goal is a functional box that fits into the real production process.

Yes. Before serial production, we can produce a prototype on which the design, dimensions, handling, stacking, positioning of the Euroblocks and operational details are verified.

We determine the scope of testing according to the project. We verify in particular the functionality of the structure, stability, load, stacking, handling and the behaviour of the prototype under conditions corresponding to real operation. The results serve as a basis for final adjustments before serial production.

We use high-strength film-faced panel materials, steel structural elements, hardwood and plastics. We combine the materials according to the required load capacity, service life, hygiene, cleaning method and conditions of use.

We can protect steel parts with hot-dip galvanising or another surface treatment specified by the project. The choice of surface is based on the environment, the cleaning method, mechanical stress and the required service life.

Depending on the design and operation, we use riveted, bolted or plastic load-bearing pallets. We dimension the pallet as a functional part of the entire box with regard to the load, handling and repeated use.

Yes. For the project, we prepare technical documentation and supporting documents on the materials used and the structural design, to the extent determined by the specific application and the customer’s requirements. For parts intended for direct or indirect contact with food, the scope of documents is assessed according to the actual manner of use.

Yes. After the prototype is verified and approved, we transfer the design into serial production. Production documentation and inspection procedures help maintain the repeatability of dimensions, workmanship and function throughout the series.

Yes. We can build on an existing box or the customer’s operational experience, evaluate critical points and propose adjustments to the design, materials, pallet or method of handling.

Ideally, the dimensions and weight of the Euroblock, the required capacity, the method of loading and unloading, the maximum stacking, the handling equipment used, the ripening and cleaning conditions and the available drawings or operational documentation.

Yes. We provide structural design, prototyping, production, assembly, testing and the preparation of production documentation.

After the prototype is approved, we set up the production process for repeatable serial production.

Design and material changes made during development are reflected in the final documentation.

The result is a technically verified solution ready for long-term use in a dairy operation.

From prototype to series. Functional, repeatable and with attention to detail.

BECAUSE THE BOX IS PART OF THE PRODUCTION PROCESS

A correctly designed box affects the use of storage space, the safety of handling, stability during stacking and the daily work of the operators.

That is why we do not assess the design in isolation. We follow the entire flow of the Euroblock – from loading into the box through ripening and storage to removal and further processing.

Custom development makes it possible to align the design, materials and handling interfaces with the customer’s specific technology.

Efficient storage. Safe handling. A structure ready for operation.

EVERYTHING UNDER ONE ROOF

From the initial design through prototyping and testing to serial production, we handle the entire process under one roof. This allows us to quickly incorporate operational experience and transfer the verified prototype into a stable production solution.

1. Custom development and design
We design the box according to the Euroblock, the capacity, the method of handling, stacking and the conditions of the ripening warehouse. We optimise the design for long-term repeated use and efficient work in the dairy.

  • Boxes for Euroblocks
  • Solutions for stacking
  • Structures for handling equipment
  • Designs according to the customer’s technology
  • Prototype solutions
  • Serial production versions
  • Optimisation

2. Materials and construction design
We select materials according to the load, environment, cleaning requirements and expected service life:

  • High-strength film-faced panels
  • Steel structural elements
  • Hardwood
  • Hot-dip galvanised parts
  • Sealed edges of panel materials
  • Riveted, bolted and plastic load-bearing pallets

3. Prototyping and testing
Before serial production, we verify the prototype in terms of function, dimensions, load, stability, stacking and handling. We incorporate the findings from testing into the final design and production documentation.

4. Documentation and food production
We prepare the technical documentation of the structure and supporting documents on the materials used. The documentation requirements for a secondary container for indirect contact with food are addressed according to the actual application and the customer’s requirements.

5. Serial production and inspection
After the prototype is approved, we transfer the solution into serial production. We work according to production documentation and inspection procedures, with an emphasis on dimensional repeatability, functionality and stable quality of workmanship.

6. Delivery and long-term cooperation
We supply the finished ripening boxes as a complete product ready for deployment in operation. For repeated projects, we can build on the approved documentation and respond continuously to changes in the customer’s production process.

From development through prototype to serial production – one technical solution, one partner.
