Friction smoke generator for hot smoking and climatic maturing

Optimize your production with a friction smoke generator designed for rapid, consistent smoke delivery in hot smoking and climatic maturing. Effortlessly maintain high-quality outputs while reducing process and operating costs, crucial for efficient food processing and premium product results.

Generates Consistent Smoke for Food Processing

The H501 Friction Smoke Generator from VETEC Anlagenbau is engineered to enhance your food processing capabilities. Its unique design employs a hardened friction wheel system, generating continuous, mild smoke efficiently. This system reduces your process times and operational costs, while the smoke generation remains unaffected by wood quality or moisture. Ideal for producing boiled sausage, raw sausage, cured meat, smoked salmon, pet food, and cheese, the H501 Friction integrates seamlessly into hot-smoking or climatic maturing installations.

Capable of handling up to 30 trolleys in climatic setups or 4 trolleys in hot-smoking applications, it ensures high throughput and consistent product quality. The generator leverages a recirculated air process to minimize environmental impact by eliminating the need for costly exhaust air cleaning. Its automation capabilities allow full integration into automatic operations, optimizing efficiency and precision.

Manufactured from durable materials, the generator offers easy accessibility for thorough cleaning, ensuring quick maintenance and minimal downtime. VETEC supports customization, engineering adjustments, and compliance with industry standards, making the H501 Friction a reliable and versatile solution for meat processing, fish processing, dairy production, and pet food manufacturing.
