• Preparing uniform product for further processing steps such as marinating or cooking.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 1,000 to 3,000 portions per hour per lane, depending on product type and portion size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with a power consumption in the range of 5-10 kW.

Product dimensions (feed)

Suitable feed sizes typically accommodate whole muscle products up to approximately 200-300mm in width and varying lengths.

Portioning accuracy

Modern portion cutters are designed for high accuracy, commonly achieving +/- 1-2% of target weight for many applications.

Construction material

Equipment for food processing is typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability.

Water consumption

Cleaning and operation may involve water, with consumption varying based on cleaning protocols and specific machine features.
