OverviewThe Radio Frequency (RF) system provides rapid, uniform tempering and defrosting of large meat blocks and individual cuts, reducing drip loss and improving yield. Treatment is possible on single pieces (cuts) or blocks. Depending on the RF field characteristics and the selected conveyor type, product can be processed packaged (PE film/liner, open or vacuum bag, PE + carton, PP crates/trays) or unpackaged.
Machine configuration and capacityMulti-position upper electrode system combined with a wide conveyor belt enables processing a wide range of sizes and weights: from a few kilograms up to 30 kg and product heights up to 23 cm in the standard configuration. Customization is available on request for larger or heavier blocks.
Packaging and processing modesThanks to the RF field behaviour and different conveyor options, the machine processes packaged products (PE film/liner, bags, vacuum-packed, PE+carton, PP crates/trays) as well as unpackaged meat, preserving product integrity while enabling in-line operation.
Suitable for next processing stepsThe treated product can be obtained at the target temperature for subsequent processes such as grinding, cutting, slicing, portioning, forming, dicing, mincing, flaking, tumbling, marinating and deboning.
