Rittal - Meat Netting Applicator

• Used in butcheries and meat processing plants for securing roasts, hams, and other meat products.
• Applies elastic netting to boneless and bone-in meat cuts for consistent shape during cooking or curing.
• Facilitates packaging and presentation of meat products for retail or wholesale distribution.
• Streamlines the process of preparing products for smoking, roasting, or boiling.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly by model, but manual units typically process a few pieces per minute, while semi-automatic versions can achieve higher rates.

Power supply

Many smaller units are pneumatic or manually operated; larger semi-automatic systems commonly require a standard single-phase (230V, 50Hz) or three-phase (400V, 50Hz) electrical supply.

Suitable netting sizes

Units are typically designed to accommodate a range of netting diameters, often adjustable to suit different product sizes.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Footprint

Benchtop models are compact, while freestanding units for this class of equipment typically require a dedicated floor space of approximately 0.5 to 1.5 square metres.

Operation method

Can be manual (hand-operated), pneumatic, or semi-automatic, depending on the model and desired production volume.

Meat coating equipment holds a solid reputation for improving product consistency and presentation in poultry and meat processing operations. Buyers typically prioritize even coating application, ease of cleaning, and durability of contact surfaces when selecting used units. Key strengths include reduced product waste, faster processing speeds, and minimal operator intervention required. Potential purchasers should examine coating drums or belts for wear, verify spray nozzle functionality, and confirm electrical and mechanical components operate smoothly. Well-maintained machines generally deliver reliable performance in demanding production environments.
