Hydraulic press for frozen meat and bacon

Achieve consistent shaping and high-quality output for frozen meat and bacon products with precision three-dimensional pressure, optimizing your yields and streamlining your slicing and packaging processes.

Shapes and Presses Meat for Uniform Consistency

The Type 6+ Press from Danfotech is a hydraulic press designed to mold and shape meat products with precision. Utilizing a three-dimensional pressure system, this press achieves uniformity in products like bacon strips and meat loins, optimizing slicing and packaging efficiency. Suitable for applications in meat processing and alternative protein production, it accommodates manual or automatic operation, boasting a throughput of up to 6 cycles per minute. The press integrates seamlessly into production lines, using less energy with an optimized hydraulic system and eliminating the need for water cooling. Made for durable performance, it offers quick, toolless die changes and is constructed to handle the rigorous demands of food processing environments. With a user-friendly HMI control system, the Type 6+ Press supports easy operation and maintenance, ensuring reliable performance and consistent product quality.

Benefits
