Agathangelou, a manufacturer of dairy processing equipment, has launched a fully automatic production line for halloumi and grilled cheese. This transition from manual to advanced automation sets new industry standards, reinforcing Agathangelou’s commitment to innovation, efficiency, and superior product quality, the company says.
As the birthplace of halloumi, Cyprus has a long tradition of producing this iconic cheese. Agathangelou has played a role in industrialising halloumi production, pioneering automated solutions that have transformed the industry while preserving the authenticity and craftsmanship of this Cypriot speciality.
Key advantages of the new production line include a 70% reduction in labour costs, with automation streamlining operations and reducing manual labour while maintaining efficiency. Another highlight is enhanced product quality, with uniform taste, texture, and consistency. The automation also eliminates variability, ensuring consistent output, and offers a 2-3% increase in yield.
“As chairman of Agathangelou, I am proud to lead a company that has been instrumental in revolutionising halloumi production,” Angelos Agathangelou, chairman of the board at Agathangelou says. “This new fully automatic production line represents our ongoing commitment to advancing the dairy industry through innovation while maintaining the quality and authenticity of this iconic Cypriot cheese.
