Processing Line


Complete Ground Meat Processing Lines
Conveying / Grinding / Mixing / Forming


Step-by-step Overview:
1. Meat trimmings are dumped into the Inclined Screw Loader hopper.

2a. The Inclined Screw Loader meters the meat trimmings onto an Inclined Belt Conveyor for metal detection and inspection.

2b. A Pallet Lift raises frozen/tempered blocks of meat to the table. A worker unwraps and transfers the blocks onto the Inclined Belt Conveyor for metal detection .

3. As the raw material travels up the conveyor, the metal detector checks for metal contaminants.

4. Fresh trimmings or frozen/tempered blocks are fed into a Cozzini Grinder. The belt conveyor feeds the coarse grinder capable of breaking up and grinding fresh or frozen/tempered material.
5. The coarse ground meat discharges into an Inclined Screw Conveyor that fills a CO2 chilled Mixer/Blender

6. The meat is mixed and chilled in the CO2 Mixer/Blender. The mixed ground meat then discharges into an Inclined Screw Loader.

7. The Inclined Screw Loader feeds the batch of mixed, coarse-ground meat to another Cozzini Grinder.

8. The meat passes through the Grinder for a final grind. It directly feeds the ground meat to the Giraffe style Vertical Screw Conveyor.

9. The Giraffe Vertical Screw Conveyor feeds the fine-ground meat to patty formers, meatball formers, extruders, etc.
