Sausage Fish Delicate

handtmann is the experienced technology
supplier and specialist in developing
automation solutions in the field of meat
and sausage. The decisive components for
success are tuned to today’s customers’
wishes and market requirements. Product
developments, variability in production
and room for expansion and capacity
adaptations are taken into account.

The handtmann ConPro (Continuous

Process) system is an example: Automation
of filling, hanging, separating and forming
up to the pioneering technology of
collating.
The HVF 670 cooked-meat filler from
handtmann, with its high flexibility of use,
is also a central component of modular
production line solution.

tessen Minced meat C
handtmann offers the perfect solution for
industrial minced meat production. Top
production standards are set by networking
the grinding, portioning and tray transfer
processes. The integration of the minced
meat production line with the subsequent
processes such as cutting, forming or
packaging and its compatibility with all
conventional tray sealing machines offer
the professional automation solution.
Furthermore, handtmann makes it possible
to create many different forms and designs
of minced meat. For example, burgers,
meat balls or cevapcici can be produced
using a combination of a filling-flow divider
and a forming machine.

 Precision at its best.

Fish Miscellaneous De
Fish and fish products are products that
spoil easily. Hygiene and reliability on the
machine technology are decisive for
trouble-free production. Systems from
handtmann are designed from the start for
complex process solutions without direct
intervention on the product by operators.

The raw material is expensive. The

portioning accuracy of handtmann
vacuum fillers is especially important.

The vacuum capacity and gentle product

treatment of the VF 600 vacuum filler are
vital in the shelf life of the end product.
Simple installation in total solutions and
flexible synchronisation with third-party
units open up various options for
economically producing new fish products.

Fish product examples

◆ fish sausages
◆ fishballs
◆ fish burger
◆ surimi, caviar
◆ fish paté
◆ fish sticks
◆ ConPro sausages
◆ fish salad
◆ Octopus Carpaccio
elicatessen Cheese Fish
Portioned, dosed, formed, separated or
co-extruded – a wide variety of cheese
products can be excellently processed
using filling and portioning systems from
handtmann.

For example, hot processed cheese is

portioned into sleeves cleanly and
precisely then closed by a clipper. Other
cheese products are portioned along
multiple synchronised lanes directly into
trays, drying racks or thermo-forming
machines. Multi-lane depositing of
cheese lining onto dough pieces and the
like also offers interesting options for
realising new product ideas.
Co-extruded cheese products are
particularly attractive. Parallel processing
of two different products allows for
creative end products to be made.

Cheese product examples

◆ processed cheese
◆ goat cheese slices
◆ goat cheese rolls
◆ cheese spread
◆ co-extruded cheese products

 Technology for trendsetters.

Dough Fillings Chees

The market is demanding ever more
whole-grain products baked as dough
pieces or directly into shapes. While
traditional dough dividers and depositing
units are of limited use in this regard,
cutters for stiff products and depositing
heads for pasty products are the ideal
solution.
Cutters allow the production of dough
pieces using a short process line. It also
shows the wide range of shapes that can
be made, e.g. short pastries. Using the
depositing heads, pasty dough can be
portioned directly into shapes along
multiple lanes and to precise weight
accuracy.

VF 600 high-performance portioning

modules from handtmann provide
everything you need for economical
production.

Dough product examples

◆ bread
◆ fruit bread
◆ whole-grain bread
◆ pizza dough
◆ cookies
◆ biscuit dough
◆ short pastry dough
se Delicatessen Minced
Depositing directly into thermo-forming
machines is a rationalisation solution that
is frequently used in delicatessen
processing. Precise-weight and clean,
drop-free depositing into the packaging
are decisive for efficient production. A
fresh and appetising product appearance
is very important. Gentle product
handling in the feed system is a
prerequisite, with no parts of the
product being crushed or damaged.

Because delicatessen products are often

easily perishable, proper hygienic
conditions in the process solution are of
fundamental importance.
The well-developed line solutions from
handtmann engineering provide these
standards.

Fillings Minced meat

The spectrum of filled products is large and
a broad range of options for implementing
new product ideas is available for the
trendsetter.
For example, fillings such as rice porridge
can be perfectly portioned into tube
packages in automatic production. Or a
product flow from the vacuum filler is
precisely divided and portioned into
separate lanes by a filling flow divider
before the product is folded or rolled in
further processing.
Co-extruding allows for versatile filled
products such as hamburger and balls that
can be designed on an individual basis. The
basis is a continuous product flow for the
inner product and outer product.
Co-extruded moulded products are
produced using a downstream mould
filling machine; the product can
additionally be shaped by the outgoing
conveyor belt.

Filling product examples

◆ Swabian pockets
◆ spring rolls
◆ tuna fish rolls (sushi)
◆ co-extruded products
◆ filled pastries
◆ rice porridge
◆ bean paste
Miscellaneous Delicatess
There is one vital constant in these
versatile options for food processing:
the core competences of the handtmann
vacuum filler. Perfect implementation of
the filling, portioning, depositing,
separating and forming functions are vital
in complex total solutions. On this solid
basis, individual product ideas can be
realised as viable production standards.

Creativity has no bounds, as products of

all qualities can be portioned to precise
weights.

An example is the broad range of

applications for convenience products.
The diverse range of applications for
the VF 600 vacuum filler allow for both
upstream process steps as well as
downstream professional further
processing to realise innovative product
ideas.
