2.Multifunctional Application
a，Efficient Conveyor Integration
Enhancing the functionality of our conveyor machine, it can serve as a crucial link between various meat processing machines, allowing for seamless integration and improved workflow efficiency. Placing the mesh belt machine at strategic points in the coating process enables a smooth transition between different production stages. For instance, in the slicing and striping production line, the conveyor can be utilized to facilitate the transfer of cut meat strips, which can then be further processed by cutting them at a 90-degree angle to achieve meat dicing. Moreover, the conveyor machine can be strategically positioned between the vibrating screen and cutting machine in the meat cutting line, enabling the smooth transmission of meat slices, strips, and diced meat. This connectivity ensures a continuous and uninterrupted flow of materials, enhancing operational productivity. In addition, the conveyor plays a crucial role in the coating equipment setup by connecting crumbing, powdering, and batting machines. By serving as a feeding platform at the front of the coating line and linking with crumbing and frying machines, the conveyor optimizes the coating process and streamlines the overall production operation. Its adaptability and versatility make it a valuable asset in achieving a seamless and efficient meat processing workflow.
b,Conveyor Platform
In the meat processing industry, maximizing output and efficiency are crucial for meeting demand. One effective way to achieve this is by utilizing a conveyor machine as a material platform. For instance, if you’re operating a slicing and stripping production line with an output of 500KG per hour, you can significantly boost your production capacity by adding a mesh belt conveyor in front of the equipment. By serving as a swinging platform, this conveyor machine enables faster product transportation and maximizes output. With this innovative solution, you can increase your slicing and stripping output while maintaining high-quality results.
c,Steering Function
In meat processing production lines, efficient processing is crucial to maintaining productivity and quality. One key aspect is the ability to seamlessly transition between different processing stages. This is where a conveyor machine with a steering function comes into play. For instance, in a slicing and striping production line, a mesh belt machine can be used to achieve a 90-degree conversion of the cutting direction. This allows for continuous production by easily cutting meat into strips with a slicer and then dicing them by simply adjusting the direction to achieve a 90-degree conversion. With this innovative technology, you can streamline your meat processing operations and optimize your production line’s performance.
d,Removing Extra Bread Crumbs
In the production of breading for patties and nuggets, it’s common for excess bread crumbs to accumulate at the bottom of the coating line after the meat patties and chicken nuggets are breaded. Although a blowing function is often used to remove excess crumbs, some still remain. To address this issue, we recommend installing a conveyor machine between the crumb breading machine and the continuous fryer. This innovative solution enables easy removal of excess bread crumbs, thereby minimizing contamination of the frying oil and maximizing oil quality. By eliminating excess bread crumbs, you can extend the life of your frying oil and ensure optimal performance in your production line.
