High vacuum filler for cooked ham with whole muscle pieces
Ensure precision and quality in cooked ham production with high vacuum technology, reliably maintaining whole muscle integrity and enhancing product consistency without air pockets.
The HVF 670 from Handtmann is a high vacuum filler engineered to elevate your ham processing line by delivering precise portioning for whole muscle pieces. This equipment utilizes advanced vane cell feed systems, ensuring that each piece is gently handled to maintain its structural integrity. Designed for food manufacturing companies, meat processing facilities, and deli production plants, it excels in applications such as cooked ham, turkey ham, and even vegan alternatives.
With an impressive filling capacity of 16,000 kg/h and a filling pressure of up to 10 bar, the HVF 670 meets the demands of high-speed, continuous operations. The integrated SV 425 cutting valve enables direct portioning into containers or thermo-forming machines, eliminating the need for extra handling. This leads to significant efficiency gains and superior end-product quality without air pockets or unsightly jelly deposits.
Built for seamless integration, the HVF 670 is customizable with direct connections to clippers and other auxiliary devices, facilitating a smooth transition to downstream processes. Its stainless steel construction ensures durability and easy compliance with hygiene standards, while optional cleaning-in-place (CIP) features simplify maintenance, reducing downtime. For those seeking a tailored solution, Handtmann offers engineering support and customization options to meet specific production requirements.
