A tray denesteris also incorporated into this line.

AEW Delford

New IBS3000 Vision Bacon Slicer
This all new bacon slicer produces shingles or stacks of all bacon types at the production speeds that processors want but, more importantly, the yields they really need – so important with rising raw material costs. A new, advanced vision system precisely sizes and grades fat/lean to deliver a high percentage of onweight groups. Productivity and yield also benefit from a host of other new innovations not least of which is easy hygiene.

Carnitech

New Superflow Freezer MK4 – for a fast and flexible freezing process
Flexibility is an essential feature of the new impingement freezer from Dantech Food Systems. Adjust­able product height ensures optimum freezing of products regardless of how thick they are. Freezing times are reduced by approximately 45% compared to freezers without impingement, and the short freezing time provides products of high quality. The new model exploits freezing capacity to the full, and provides the opportunity of leading entire boxes through the freezer.

Marel

New Portion & Pack Solution – a high-yield money-saving solution with a short payback
Two of Marel’s standardized workhorse solutions – OptiCut portioning and QuickLoader packing – have been conjoined for the express purpose of creating superior fixed-weight & count packing. The Portion & Pack combo delivers uniform weight and shape portions that are packed directly into trays, all in a single high-yield production flow that eliminates manual handling. This combo-solution is compact and super efficient, fully optimizing raw material while significantly reducing labor costs to ensure rapid payback. Two operators are all that are required to run a fully automatic dual-lane system.

Scanvaegt

The Scanvaegt RoboBatcher sorts products of varying weight, e.g. chicken pieces, steaks and chops into a predefined fixed-weight batch size and automatically styles and loads the products into trays. The RoboBatcher consists of the well-known ScanBatcher 4700 with vision technology, a robot with gripper arms for automatic styling and tray loading and a disc separator system for automatic tray in- and outfeed.
