Giro - Net Applicator

• Used in the meat processing industry for applying netting to products like roasts, hams, and poultry.
• Suitable for packaging various food items requiring a netted finish for cooking or presentation.
• Can be integrated into production lines for consistent and efficient netting of products.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 5 to 20 units per minute, depending on product size and automation level.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with pneumatic air supply also often necessary.

Footprint

For this type of equipment, a typical footprint might be around 1.5m to 2.5m in length and 0.8m to 1.2m in width, excluding infeed/outfeed conveyors.

Materials of construction

Units are typically constructed from stainless steel for food contact areas to meet hygiene standards, with other components in robust engineering plastics or painted mild steel.

Net type compatibility

Most units are designed to work with a range of elastic or non-elastic netting materials, often supplied on rolls or sleeves.

Product size range

Net applicators commonly accommodate products with diameters ranging from 80mm to 250mm and various lengths, though specific models have defined limits.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used net applicator?

  Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, and inspection of wear components such as seals, blades, and pneumatic cylinders. Regular checks of electrical connections are also advisable.

• Can this equipment be integrated into an existing production line?

• What type of netting does this machine use?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer units?

• What safety features are commonly found on these machines?

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) equipment is generally regarded as reliable for extending shelf life across food sectors. Buyers typically value machines offering consistent gas flushing and seal quality. When purchasing used units, inspection of gas mixing accuracy, seal integrity and control systems is advisable. Common strengths include reduced product waste, improved distribution flexibility, and lower operational costs compared to alternative preservation methods. Maintenance history and spare parts availability are important considerations for used equipment longevity.
