Burrata is one of the most delicate cheeses to handle. Soft, creamy, and unstable by nature—every phase, from forming to sealing, requires great care.
But filling is perhaps the most technical step, where mozzarella is filled with stracciatella.
Dairy professionals know this well: filling burrata is a daily challenge, made of precise, repetitive movements that must be fast and consistent.
Burrata processing in the Lab: Manual skill meets smart tools
In the video shown, we capture a typical scene from a dairy lab. Acustomer uses our TELM semi-automatic filler, the DOS A1 PneumaticVolumetric Filler, to fill mozzarella shells with stracciatella.
Operator and machine work together: the flow is constant, clean, andwaste-free. The action remains manual, but dosing becomes smoother, morerepeatable, and less tiring.
Challenges in filling fresh dairy products
Working with burrata and other fresh cheeses presents specific difficulties:
- Inconsistent doses, especially with variable textures
- Leaks and spills that slow down production
- Long times per unit
- Difficulty sanitizing between batches
- Preserving a high-end, artisanal look in the final product
Choosing a Burrata Filling Machine: What to ask first
Every dairy has different needs. Here are a few key questions to guide your choice:
- What is the texture of your stracciatella?
- What volumes do you process daily?
- Does it need mixing during use?
Answering these questions helps you choose a filler that truly fits your pace and product

- Adjusting quantity precisely, even with changing densities
- Minimizing waste
- Respecting product structure—no stress or over-handling
- Supporting the operator by easing stracciatella insertion
