(2) Sausage filling and carding integrated machine
The sausage filling and carding integrated machine integrates the two processes of sausage filling and carding into one, reducing intermediate links and equipment floor space. There is no need to transfer materials between different equipment, improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and achieving continuous and automated operations from sausage material filling to carding and sealing.
3. Cooking Equipment
(1) Fully Automatic Smoker
The fully automatic smoker features a unique air circulation system and functions including steaming, drying, humidified drying, roasting, smoking, ventilation, and cleaning. It can be heated by steam or electricity and is suitable for various types of products. It ensures consistent temperature and humidity during roasting, cooking, drying, and smoking, thus maintaining the color, appearance, and quality of the products. It is an essential equipment for meat product manufacturers during the maturation process of meat products. It can steam various sausages, hot dogs, meat sausages, dried sausages, roasted meat, and various types of fish. It is simple to operate and safe and reliable.
(2) Continuous Oil Frying Production Line
The fully automatic oil frying production line has an automatic temperature control function. Once the set temperature is reached, the burner stops working, saving energy. It is also equipped with an oil filter, which keeps the frying oil clean and prevents it from turning black, allowing for reuse and cost savings. The automated frying ensures uniform frying and crispy texture, improving production efficiency and product quality.
(3) Overhead Crane Halogen Pot
The overhead crane halogen pot can be customized with different pot capacities based on production needs. It is suitable for both small-batch production and large-scale processing, meeting diverse cooking requirements. It is ideal for halogenating beef, pork, chicken, and other meats to make halogenated food products.
(4) Vacuum Pre-cooler
The vacuum pre-cooler can rapidly reduce the temperature of smoked meat products to the required refrigeration temperature within a short period. The quick cooling process effectively reduces the opportunity for microbial growth, lowers the risk of microbial contamination, and better preserves the color, texture, and flavor of the meat products. It also minimizes water loss and extends the shelf life.
4. Packaging Equipment
(1) Fully automatic vacuum modified atmosphere packaging machine
The fully automatic vacuum modified atmosphere packaging machine features a high standard gas displacement rate, precise gas mixing ratio, and a smooth and aesthetically pleasing sealing effect. It is suitable for vacuum and gas-filled packaging of fresh meat such as beef, mutton, and pork, as well as cooked foods like chicken and duck delicacies.
(2) Double-chamber vacuum packaging machine
The double-chamber vacuum packaging machine operates on an alternating work mode of two chambers, allowing continuous vacuuming and sealing operations to enhance production efficiency. It is ideal for large-scale production and can be widely used for cooked meats, fresh meats, seafood, and ready-to-eat meals.
(3) Rolling vacuum packaging machine
The rolling vacuum packaging machine adopts a continuous feeding method, where the packaging materials are conveyed into the vacuum chamber via a conveyor belt for vacuuming and sealing. The entire process is divided into four stages: feeding, vacuuming, sealing, and discharging. This continuous rolling operation significantly boosts production efficiency and is particularly suitable for packaging large quantities of products.
(4) Automatic weighing and quantitative packaging machine
The automatic weighing and quantitative packaging machine utilizes advanced weighing technology and an automated control system to quickly and accurately weigh and quantitatively package various materials. Additionally, it can be flexibly adjusted according to different packaging requirements, meeting the packaging needs of various specifications and shapes.
5. Refrigeration equipment
(1) Spiral Freezer
The spiral freezer is an efficient food quick-freezing device, featuring a compact structure, large storage capacity, wide application range, small floor space, and strong freezing capacity. It is mainly used for quick-freezing processed foods, ice cream, pastries, cut meat and poultry, aquatic products, fried foods, and small packaged foods, etc.
(2) Tunnel Freezer
The tunnel freezer is mainly composed of a refrigeration system, a conveying system, an electrical control system, and a freezing chamber. It adopts a continuous operation mode and can quickly freeze food to the required temperature, locking in freshness rapidly to ensure the taste and nutritional value of the food. The tunnel freezer creates a low-temperature environment through the refrigeration system, and the food is conveyed through the cold air circulation area inside the tunnel on a conveyor belt, achieving rapid freezing. It is suitable for the quick freezing of various foods such as meat, processed foods, aquatic products, and dishes.
(3) Fluidized Freezer
The fluidized freezer uses mechanical vibration and air flow to suspend the materials on the conveyor belt for quick freezing, thus achieving rapid freezing of the materials and preventing adhesion. Structurally, it is divided into single-stage fluidized and two-stage fluidized types. The fluidized freezer is mainly suitable for the freezing of small-volume materials such as particles, slices, and strips, including diced meat, meat strips, strawberries, blueberries, mulberries, raspberries, and various fruit slices.
