Servo press for optimal shaping of bacon and meat loins

Achieve precise shaping and consistent slice yield for bacon and meat loins with advanced servo press technology, designed to enhance line efficiency and product quality.

Presses and Shapes Meats for Optimal Slicing

The Type 14S Servo Press from Danfotech revolutionizes meat processing with its unique ShapetecTM technology, ensuring precise compression and optimal shaping for bacon and other protein products. It features a robust pressing chamber that handles up to 14 cycles per minute, ideal for high-speed, continuous operations in meat processing facilities. Suitable for applications ranging from bacon strips to bone-in ribeye, it maximizes yield and reduces belly fractures, integrating seamlessly with existing production lines. This all-servo operated unit boasts advanced automation, enabling it to adapt to varied product thickness while eliminating the need for water or hydraulics. Easy maintenance and fast sanitation make it a cost-effective solution, supported by Danfotech’s dedicated engineering and service teams. The press operates on 380V-460V with options for 50Hz or 60Hz, ensuring compatibility with global standards.
