Most dairies would rather see a machine work on their own cheese before deciding anything. That is what the test lab is for.
A Pro-Wax machine is installed at Procudan’s specialised testing facility, ProCera® WaxLab. It allows dairies to see automated waxing on their own cheese, using manual dipping, automatic dipping and spray waxing, without interrupting daily production.

ProCera WaxLab also serves as a showroom, where both new and existing customers can experience the technology in action with ProCera cheese wax.
“We want to give our customers the best possible conditions for finding the right solution. With the new equipment from Chocoma, we can now demonstrate and test multiple methods and, most importantly, save valuable time”, says Carsten L. Christensen, Sales Manager for ProCera® cheese wax.
Chocoma’s Pro-Wax machine makes waxing up to four times faster than manual dipping, making it particularly relevant for producers considering an upgrade to an automated process.
“It is a great advantage that we can use ProCera® WaxLab as a live showroom. Here, customers get the chance to see how the technology works in practice – and assess whether automation makes sense in their daily operations,” says Christian Nilsson, owner of Chocoma.
The cheese waxing test lab provides producers who do not yet use automated equipment with the opportunity to evaluate machine waxing before investing in their own setup. By testing their products in a controlled cheese waxing test lab environment, they can assess coating quality, workflow efficiency and overall performance without disrupting existing production.
The test facility enables customers to send small cheese batches for testing – quickly and efficiently – without interrupting their production lines. This makes ProCera® WaxLab a valuable tool in the development and optimisation phase: “We have created a unique test environment that simplifies the development of new solutions and helps our customers save both time and resources,” says Carsten.
Pro-Wax cheese waxing machines are developed and manufactured in Denmark by Chocoma, the parent company of Pro-Wax, which has more than 30 years of experience in cheese waxing machinery. More than 50 machines have been installed in dairies in the UK and Ireland alone, and Pro-Wax machines are in operation at dairies across the world.
