Gravity-fed emulsion system for meat and pet food processing
Achieve optimal particle size reduction and seamless integration into processing lines for meat and pet food with this high-capacity, gravity-fed emulsification system, designed to enhance throughput and maintain product quality.

Reduces, Emulsifies, and Transports Meat and Pet Products
The PrimeCut AR901 from Cozzini is a gravity-fed hopper style emulsion and reduction system designed to enhance meat and pet food production. This system stands out with its unique separation design that prevents lubrication contamination and features a single cut Ø9″ diameter (230 mm) plate/knife system. It is ideal for reducing particle size in meat blends, pet foods, and rendering products. The AR901 can handle solid and slurry product types with a hopper capacity of 7 cubic feet (200 liters). Its high-capacity knife holder efficiently draws product into the cutting chamber, reducing particles to a desired size before discharging them through a Ø3″ (76 mm) stainless pipe. This equipment seamlessly integrates into high-capacity, continuous operations, and replaces conventional bowl choppers, minimizing handling equipment needs. Built in conformity with AMI sanitary equipment design principles, it’s USDA accepted and CE approved, ensuring compliance with industry standards. The quick-release design facilitates easy access for cleaning and maintenance. Additionally, the system’s specially designed pumping impeller allows for vertical transport of the product up to 10 feet (3 m) for discharge into other hoppers, supporting efficient production line integration.
