Collating system for fresh sausage automation
Maximize production efficiency by seamlessly integrating automated collating and packaging for diverse sausage types, ensuring precision and quality from filling to finalized packaging—ideal for operations requiring high-speed, continuous production with minimal manual intervention.
The GS 300 and GS 301 collating systems from Handtmann are engineered to streamline the collation and packaging of sausage products. Designed for high-speed operations, these systems use a modular approach to automate the precise alignment of sausages into trays or thermo-forming machines, optimizing your production line’s efficiency. With applications ranging from traditional bratwurst to plant-based alternatives in alginate casing, these systems handle a variety of end-products, supporting industries like meat processing, bakery, and vegan product manufacturing.
Capable of handling up to 600 portions per minute, the GS series adapts to both single-lane and multi-lane configurations, maintaining consistent throughput. The fully automated process significantly reduces manual intervention, ensuring excellent hygiene and product quality through gentle handling. Configured with integration in mind, the systems seamlessly connect with upstream filling and portioning equipment and downstream packaging solutions.
Built with high-grade materials, the GS systems ensure robust performance under continuous operation, while meeting food industry hygiene standards. Routine maintenance is simplified, allowing for minimal downtime. Handtmann’s engineering team offers customization options and expert support to tailor these systems to your specific processing requirements.
