Processing & Preparation Technologies

Processing & Preparation brand equipment covers the production of processed meat, hams and coated convenience foods, from the automatic defrosting, grinding, injecting or emulsion of bulk ingredients to the production of sausages and formed products with wet and dry coatings such as breadcrumbs and batter that exceed quality and yield specifications. Continuous ham and sausage processing lines ensure efficiency and savings in time and manpower while delivering a high quality end product. Meat presses prepare naturally shaped products for high yield downstream slicing, portioning and packing.

Thermal Food Processing

Thermal Food Processing brands offer the world’s most extensive, innovative technologies for continuous and batch thermal processing of smoked, baked and cooked food products, from hot dogs, ham and luncheon meat to ready meals. Our industry leading systems feature technology for efficient cooking, smoking, chilling and pasteurization of protein and meat products, as well as fully automated, continuous shaping, cooking and chilling of cooked meats, including deli meat, slicing logs and co-extruded sausages. Further equipment in the range covers drying, maturing and thawing processes.

Slicing, Loading and Packaging

Slicing, Loading and Packaging brands ensure efficient handling of products such as frankfurters, sausages, deli meat, bacon and cheese. High performance slicing systems for processed meat, bacon and cheese use vision and scanning technology to ensure maximum yields. Cylindrical food products such as sausages and cheese sticks are hygienically sorted, aligned, and loaded in preparation for packaging. Form–fill-seal equipment enables the packing of meat, poultry and cheese into vacuum and modified atmosphere packaging.
