The continuous portioning machine for ground meats and meat products is an industrial equipment designed to automatically divide and cut streams of extruded meat after grinding or stuffing. It standardizes portions in weight, length, and shape with rigorous precision, without compacting the product.
In addition to serving the portioning of ground beef, pork, poultry, and lamb, the equipment operates in the synchronized division of various extruded products of compatible consistency:
- Vegetable and Plant-Based Proteins: Vegetable-based pasta and preparations that imitate ground meat.
- Specialty Meats and Extruded Products: Cevapcici, mici, kofta, meat rolls, extruded hamburgers (without compaction), and meatballs.
- Other Food Industries: Sweet pasta, fruit pastes, marzipan, and cheese pastes.
Main uses:
- Portioning of ground meat: used to continuously divide ground meat into portions of determined weight and dimensions.
- Division of extruded products: used to synchronously separate a continuous flow from filling tubes or extrusion dies, forming individual units.
Equipment with which it can work in conjunction:
The continuous portioner can usually be used in conjunction with a vacuum filler, responsible for providing a continuous and controlled flow of product to the portioning system. Depending on the line configuration, it can also work integrated with feeding, grinding, conveying, weighing, traying and packaging systems.
Used mainly in meat processing plants, beef, pork, lamb and poultry processors, packaged ground meat manufacturers, meat products, refrigerated and frozen foods and suppliers to supermarkets and food service, as well as industrial lines that work with extruded and portioned products. |
