Meat surface macerator

Optimize protein extraction and enhance portion consistency with a versatile macerator designed to maximize yields and improve product quality by integrating advanced surface treatment into your processing line.

Processes and Enhances Meat and Poultry Cuts

The Polar Flex Carve Macerator from Wolf-tec revolutionizes protein treatment for poultry, meat, and seafood processors. It features dual knife rollers with independent controls, offering customizable single or double maceration for varied surface requirements. Ideal for products like chicken breasts and beef roasts, it consistently enhances protein extraction and binding. With a touch screen PLC controller, your maceration recipes are stored for easy recall, minimizing operator errors. The Polar Flex Carve integrates seamlessly with existing setups, compatible with IMAX Injectors via Polar Link for comprehensive process control. Built for hygiene with stainless steel construction, it ensures easy cleaning and reduced maintenance costs. Optional floor or rail mounting and multiple blade types provide versatility to meet specific processing needs.

Benefits

  • Improves product consistency and yields by enhancing protein binding.
