Food product molding machine

automatic

Molding is defined as the placing of meat intended for cooking, whether of pork or poultry origin, into molds of different shapes and materials. The molds may be made of stainless steel or aluminum, for traditional products or for products intended for slicing, with microperforated intermediary foil, such as is Cartene, or of vacuum heat-sealable plastic material. Another possibility is to place thermoformed or vacuum bagged and clipped products in the molds, in order to give the final product a regularity of shape that would not otherwise be obtainable. Rationalizing the molding lines should make it possible to contribute to the production of cooked products of the required quality, in the smallest possible space, saving energy and materials and optimizing ergonomics. Our molding lines, designed and manufactured according to specific requirements, include the section for placing the meats in the molds, which are then de-aerated, or vacuum heat-sealed, and then pressed and placed on the frames, trolleys or overhead conveyors to be sent to the cooking units. The massaged product is transferred to one or more receiving tanks from which the product, whether whole or composed, is taken to be placed in the molds, with or without weight control. After cooking in steam ovens with cooling in cold storage (or in our cooking and cooling units for vacuum-cooked products) the molds will pass through our de-molding machines and the finished product will be vacuum bagged and packaged by our own machines before passing through our continuous pasteurizer-coolers.
