Minced meat processors now have complete tray and roll stock loading solutions available from Handtmann that feature fully integrated portioning, grinding, check weighing and loading for reliable high speed automation. Both solutions feature a Handtmann Communication Unit that uses data from the inline check weigher to monitor each portion’s accuracy and then adjust the following portion back to the reference standard, assuring perfect package-by-package weight and virtually eliminating rework.

Handtmann’s rugged inline solution for minced meat and poultry products delivers continuous product flow at 120 trays/minute with 100% control by reference weighing each portion. The system operates with up to 99%+ weight accuracy at all speeds and features precise loading with exact synchronization of portions and trays with fast format changes and hygienic design for easy service and cleaning access.

The Handtmann roll stock loading solution offers precise portioning, intelligent controls and optimized positioning to assure fully automated trouble-free production. It is a flexible side-loading design with portion-by-portion reference weighing for perfect package-by-package accuracy. It also features easy changeovers and state-of-the-art hygienic design and construction.

According to Patrick McGady, National Sales Manager for Handtmann Inc., “We think both of our solutions are fully integrated best-of-breed options that offer a unique combination of quality, speed and precision not previously available as a unified unit that optimizes production. We think our niche is with processors seeking to meet or exceed current production levels with more accuracy, less rework and a more premium grind that can distinguish it in a commodity environment.”
