Cheese Shipper

It holds one standard 640-pound cheese block, the format most large-scale cheddar and commodity cheese producers run. That capacity is why the container is called a “640,” and it lets converters handle full blocks instead of breaking product into smaller boxes that add labor and trim loss.

Plywood boxes are heavier, absorb moisture, and often need re-coating between uses. The A640’s engineered plastic skips the re-coating step, cleans easily, and cuts weight, which lowers freight cost per block. Because it collapses flat, far more empties fit on a return trailer than rigid wood boxes allow.

Yes. The engineered plastic is stiff enough to hold block shape under pressing and through the vacuum chamber process, which pulls entrapped air out of the block for better curd knit. Holding shape through those steps is what keeps bowing and trim loss down.

Yes. It carries USDA and Wisconsin DATCP approval for whey recovery, so plants can capture salt whey rather than treating it as waste. Recovered whey is a saleable byproduct, which turns a disposal cost into added revenue.

Yes. It holds USDA and Wisconsin DATCP approval, the two bodies that set safety and quality standards for bulk cheese containers, and it’s built from food-grade engineered plastic that sanitizes cleanly between uses.

The container breaks down flat when empty. Collapsed units take far less space on a return truck and in the warehouse, so you move more empties per trailer and free up floor space compared to rigid boxes that ship and store at full height.

It’s built for bulk block production, so it fits cheddar, colby, and other commodity and semi-hard cheeses made in the 640-pound format. If you’re running a different block size or a specialty format, Arena can walk through fit during a production review.
