The top for meat or meat grinder is designed for high-quality and quick grinding of meat of any kind. It is used in workshops of the food industry. The equipment is distinguished by productivity, options, availability of feed or single type screws - it all depends on the model chosen and the manufacturer. Grinding tops for meat grinding guarantee the high quality of the raw materials obtained. The ability to separate cartilage, bones and veins from meat in automatic mode allows the use of a trimming device.
Production technology
After grinding on the top, the meat will not lose its freshness, and its structure of fibers and protein compounds will not be deformed if the product is processed in frozen form. Grinding tops are one of the main machines used in industry, among all meat processing equipment. Any meat that is separated from the bones is pre-processed in an industrial meat grinder.
In cases where the machine does not work well, the pieces of the product lose their shape, the fibers bend, and the result is a poor-quality final product. Industrial processing of meat using tops is a responsible process that requires the availability of high-quality equipment from a reliable manufacturer. The principle of operation of the meat grinder is to incorporate a special receiving hopper into the top of the top into which the meat will be cut into pieces (there should be no large veins and bones). The temperature of the product should not be less than two degrees below zero. Otherwise, the equipment may break. The meat receiving bin is provided with an inclined plane along which the product slides to an exciting type screw (or a whole system of screws). They feed the pieces to the cutting mechanism of the meat grinder, which consists of fixed grids and moving sharp knives.
All the tops have a similar design, but the grinding quality of any model is different. From this, to a greater extent, depends on the processing of meat. The production technology at many food industrial facilities should include the use of reliable, expensive grinding equipment. All parts at the top must be new, cutting tools sharpened, and the surface of the body processed to facilitate cleaning of the device. Modern industrial meat grinders are installed on special adjustable vibration mounts that do not have a foundation from the foundation.
Classification
The top for meat can be of different types:
- combined;
- for frozen meat;
- for fresh meat.
Also, industrial meat grinders are distinguished by the method of feeding the screw:
- with forced supply of raw materials (due to several rotating screws in the form of a spiral);
- without forced feed to the cylinder.
The uniform operation of the top is achieved due to the feeding mechanism, which makes the inclusion of equipment in production lines affordable and greatly simplifies the boot process. Among these can be distinguished industrial meat grinders "FBL-16L" or "FBL-200".
Quality equipment from world famous brands
The top for meat, the price of which depends on many factors (country of manufacture, design features and performance), is actively used in domestic production. The Austrian and German cars of the following companies differ in great performance:
- "Weasel";
- Food Logistic;
- Freund
- Wolfe
- "Kilia."
In addition, one of the main requirements for the top is the advantage of cutting forces over shearing forces. Increased demand are meat grinders and other companies:
- Czech "Nerkon";
- Spanish "Mineka";
- Slovak “PSS Svidinik” and “PGS Plus”;
- Polish "Firm VV", as well as "Revik".
Frozen Meat Processing
For quick and accurate chopping of any kind of meat in ice cream, pre-processed on a band saw, a top for frozen meat is used in the food industry. This equipment, for which only the latest technologies and modern developments are applied, is indispensable for processing at meat plants of large and medium capacity. The meat grinders, characterized by reliability and quality, allow you to get the best raw materials without damage and deformation.
Using a built-in elevator, frozen meat is loaded into a special hopper, and then sent to the cutting auger by means of two feed augers. Depending on the type of cutting device, a certain structure of minced meat is obtained.
Meat Grinder Options and Benefits
The meat top, designed for both frozen and fresh raw materials, consists of a built-in hydraulic lift, feed augers, trimming device, as well as mixing blades. In addition, it is possible to increase or decrease the volume of the hopper into which the meat is loaded.
The advantages of the equipment in question include:
- reinforced auger drive (for supplying raw materials);
- minimum machine maintenance costs;
- for working with frozen meat, screws of a certain shape are specially reinforced;
- simplicity in operation and maintenance;
- the ability to install additional auxiliary devices: hydraulic lift, housing device.
Combined tops
For grinding pork or beef skin, for frozen blocks, a top for meat of a combined type is used. Frozen pieces are crushed into smaller ones using the feed screw, and then sent to the cutting device. The design of the cutting head in combined meat grinders differs significantly from the tool in standard grinders. Due to this, the effect on meat is reduced to a minimum during the grinding process, and the result is a product that is of high quality.
The combined meat spinning top, the price of which starts at 300,000 rubles, requires minimal tinning due to the thoughtful design of all machine components. Control over the grinding process is carried out using a color touch screen: the speed of rotation of the screws is set. It is also possible to view the history of all operations for a certain period of time, all errors are reported by the built-in protection system.
Features of the combined equipment
To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the machine, a complete set with a meat grinder is delivered: trolley and beam crane. With these simple tools, a meat top can be assembled by any food worker. The combined meat grinder is capable of grinding any raw material whose temperature is not lower than -25 degrees. There is the possibility of installing a housing device, all control is carried out by means of a touch screen, and thanks to the equipment of the top with auxiliary systems for service and maintenance, minimal costs are required.
