Sepamatic 4000 Bone Separator

• Used in meat processing to separate bone fragments from meat, poultry, or fish.
• Applied in the production of mechanically separated meat (MSM) or deboned meat.
• Utilised in pet food manufacturing for recovering protein from bone-in raw materials.
• Employed in fish processing to separate fish meat from bones and skin.
• Suitable for rendering operations to improve product quality and yield.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can range significantly, commonly up to 12,000 kg/hour depending on the product and drum perforation.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz.

Drum perforation sizes

Commonly available with various drum perforation sizes, typically ranging from 1mm to 10mm, to suit different product requirements.

Material construction

Components in contact with product are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Pre-breaker functionality

Many units, including this model, feature an integrated pre-breaker to handle larger input material and reduce load on the separation drum.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning and inspection of the belt, drum, and seals are essential. Belt replacement is a standard maintenance item.

Footprint

For a Sepamatic 4000, a significant industrial footprint is typically required, necessitating adequate space for operation and maintenance access.

• What is the primary function of a bone separator?

  A bone separator is designed to mechanically separate soft tissues (meat, poultry, fish) from hard components like bones, cartilage, and sinews, resulting in a finely textured product.

• What kind of products can be processed by a Sepamatic 4000?

• How does the drum perforation size affect the output product?

• Is a pre-breaker always necessary?

• What are the typical hygiene and cleaning procedures for this equipment?

• What are the common wear parts on a bone separator?

Separators and extraction systems are valued for their reliability in sample preparation workflows across laboratory and pharmaceutical settings. Buyers typically seek equipment with robust construction and minimal downtime history. Key considerations when purchasing used units include chamber integrity, seal condition, and calibration documentation. Industry sentiment favours models offering consistent reproducibility and easy maintenance. Established brands generally command confidence due to parts availability and technical support, though thorough inspection and performance testing remain essential before purchase.
