Ham portioning machine

The sale of portioned cold cuts is aimed at a segment of the market that prefers to slice the product, at home or at picnics, or to use it in culinary preparations as well. This is a more flexible use than the use of sliced product, which requires consuming the entire contents of the package upon opening and which is in any case indispensable for larger cross-sectional products, which are more difficult to use at home. There is an increasing demand for fixed-weight products, both for handling packaging in thermoforming machines and, more importantly, for the needs of large retailers. For this purpose we developed a fixed-weight cross-cutting model. Our machines can portion cooked ham, coppa, flat or rolled bacon, paper bacon, salami, speck, loin, boneless raw ham. Semi-automatic portioning machine For products of maximum dimensions mm 280 x mm 600 or mm 1,000 (depending on model) x h mm 180, is capable of cutting according to one or two directions. Self-centering guides, clamping systems, and oscillating cutting blade make the machine extremely flexible and suitable for all products. The machine measures the length of the product and cuts it to a fixed size or by division into equal parts, with or without trimming. The cut is made with a crank mechanism that allows a gradualness of blade insertion, whatever the hardness of the product. The resulting portions are transferred to downstream stations, such as our automatic bagging machines for taped bags. The hygienic design makes the machine easily sanitized, suitable even for products that require more attention, such as cooked products. Operating modes are stored in recipes accessed from the operator panel or remotely.
