Vacuum-sealed bowl cutter for food processing

Enhance your food production with a vacuum-sealed bowl cutter that optimizes batch consistency, improves emulsion characteristics, and extends product shelf life, while ensuring precise cutting, mixing, and emulsifying in a streamlined, automated process.

Processes and Emulsifies Foods Under Vacuum

The GEA CutMaster V Gen 3 from GEA is a technologically advanced vacuum-sealed bowl cutter and emulsifier, tailored for the food processing industry. This equipment is designed to mix, cut, and emulsify under vacuum, significantly enhancing product yield, density, and shelf life while maintaining vibrant color and flavor characteristics. Ideal for diverse applications ranging from sausages and smoked salmon to vegan and vegetarian products, its processing versatility makes it indispensable in meat, poultry, fish, and dairy production settings.

Equipped with a powerful TopCut VSH knife head, the CutMaster V achieves cutting speeds up to 162 m/s, optimizing emulsification for a consistent product texture. Its high-capacity bowls, available in volumes of up to 750 liters, accommodate varied batch sizes efficiently. The system’s vacuum processing capability ensures air-free production, improving water-binding properties and enabling finer particle consistency.

Automation is seamless with the intuitive CutControl Pro Touch and GEA’s InsightPartner, which provide real-time monitoring and control. This enables food processors to fine-tune operations for optimal quality and efficiency. Constructed of hygienic materials, the equipment features a 3-A sanitary certification with easy cleaning surfaces to streamline maintenance. With customizable configurations and extensive engineering support, the GEA CutMaster V adapts to your specific processing needs, ensuring high performance and compliance with industry standards.
