Grinding head system for raw sausage production
Optimize your raw sausage production with a grinding head system designed for precise control, reducing maturation times and enhancing product quality while ensuring hygiene and efficiency in high-speed operations.

The WK98 Grinding Head System from FREY Maschinenbau is engineered for seamless integration with FREY vacuum stuffers, enhancing meat processing efficiency. This system excels in grinding, evacuating, and portioning raw sausage and coarse products with precision, making it indispensable for manufacturers of bratwurst, chorizo, and doner kebab strips. It operates with a unique vane cell feed system that minimizes temperature increases and potential contamination, ensuring higher product quality and safety. The WK98 handles continuous and automated operations, ideal for high-speed production environments like food processing and sausage manufacturing plants.
Designed for robust automation, the WK98 interfaces seamlessly with tray dispensers and retracting belts, offering functions such as variable belt speeds via TC control. Optional modules include a tray loader, checkweigher, and E130 cutting attachment, allowing for tailored solutions. Its modular design supports integration with ancillary equipment, like the CLPS320 minced meat line or linking with BAS02/SA or KAS systems. Composed of durable materials suitable for food applications, the WK98 is easy to install, clean, and maintain. It embodies FREY’s commitment to aligning engineered solutions with operational needs in meat processing.
