Portion cutter for the food industry

for meat

There are numerous cured meats that can be cut in half, crosswise, either for sale to the end consumer, such as speck, mortadella, cooked ham, or to be more easily sliced in grocery stores. Mortadella, but also similar products, are sold in wedges, like cheeses; thus, it is possible to meet another consumer need by offering attractive and easily transportable packaging. Large-diameter mortadella (Bologna sausage) require longer cooking times, with a gradual increase in temperature, resulting in better organoleptic results. The longitudinal cut of the product allows the use of slicers with standard cutting blades, without compromising on quality. Our machines, made in a variety of models, perform half-cutting of mortadella or other coarsely cylindrical shaped products, for sizes between 5 and 50 kilograms, as well as cutting side-by-side products, such as salami, or for whole products such as speck or cooked products. The loading belt, which can be conformed flat or V-shaped, facilitates directionally correct insertion of the products to be cut, to obtain a cut orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the product. The machine is self-adjusting on the product and is equipped with a special profile blade that performs the perfect cut without imperfection or laceration of any type of casing. The machine can be equipped with a rotating device to orient one of the two halves to facilitate bagging, either manually or automatically as, for example, done using our robotic islands. Longitudinal cutting Longitudinal cutting machines consist of a housing with centering of the product, which is pushed through a vertical blade
