Horizontal air flow drying and smoking system for meat products

Achieve superior drying and smoking efficiency with horizontal air flow technology, ensuring uniform treatment even at high packing densities, perfect for optimizing meat and snack production lines.

Dries and Smokes Meats and Snacks

The AEROMAT CROSS POWER from VETEC Anlagenbau offers a robust solution for drying and smoking operations in the food, meat processing, and pet food industries. This system stands out with its patented horizontal air flow technology, delivering up to four times the air speed compared to conventional systems, ensuring rapid, uniform drying and smoking across up to 50 layers. It efficiently processes meats, dried pet food snacks, cheese, and fish, catering to products like bacon, beef jerky, and cured sausages. The integration of ECOCON heat recovery cuts energy usage by 30%, making it a cost-effective asset for continuous production lines. Engineered for versatility, it comes in steam-heated, direct gas-heated, and electrically heated models, with additional options for smoke generation and a fully automatic cleaning-in-place (CIP) system. The MICROMATANALYZER offers centralized management and documentation, enhancing operational efficiency and traceability. Automated for ease of use, this system’s design emphasizes hygiene and product quality, complemented by VETEC’s dedicated engineering support for tailored solutions.
