SUSPENTEC Particle Reduction System for Injection Processes
Used worldwide to process roast beef, ham, turkey breast, chicken products, steaks, fish, bacon and various other whole-muscle products, the patented SUSPENTEC process has brought significant profit building advantages to users everywhere. Hundreds of processors of fresh, cooked, refrigerated or frozen meats and seafood worldwide are using the SUSPENTEC system to add value to their products while lowering their costs of finished goods. An application-customized SUSPENTEC system inject lower cost protein materials into higher cost whole muscle products. Enhanced binding, reduced cook and chill shrink and increased slicing yields are just a few benefits realized. The heart of the SUSPENTEC process lies in its high-throughput, precise, MultiCut reduction system where the mixture recirculates through the reduction unit and mixing hopper until it becomes a homogeneous mixture of brine and ultra fine particles of meat. When exact particle size or temperature is achieved, a divert valve automatically directs suspension to feed one or two holding hoppers. An optional chiller maintains the critical suspension temperature. From the holding hopper(s), a pump delivers suspension to a standard injector. Whole muscle product is then injected with the suspension to the preset yield gain. Excess suspension from the injector is captured by a return hopper and reprocessed. The modular and compact SUSPENTEC system is adaptable to practically any plant layout.
SUSPENTEC Particle Reduction System for Injection Processes
- SUSPENTEC system consists of Mixing hopper with MultiCut reduction unit, Holding hopper(s) with optional chiller(s), Return hopper from injector, Return reduction unit (optional).
- The process involves mixing a brine solution with lower cost materials such as trimmings, rework, etc. and injecting mix into more costly whole muscle product.
- The modular SUSPENTEC system is adaptable to each unique application depending on plant layout and space considerations.
- Increased bind, reduced cook and chill shrink, increased slice yield and lower overall product cost.
- USDA accepted and CE approved. Built in conformity with AMI sanitary equipment design principles.
Declipper
Automate the process of removing wire clips on the ends of chubs with the Declipper. Safeguard your ready-to-eat products from the risk of contamination by eliminating inefficient manual declipping with this productivity-boosting machine. Feeding directly from a Chub Separator or manually, the infeed conveyor indexes the product to the declipping head stations and then stops. The declipping heads simultaneously approach the product from both sides and the knives close around the clips. The declipper can handle up to 30 chubs a minute, per set of declipping heads. Up to 3 sets of declipping heads available to maximize output. After cutting the clips, the knives retract, removing and discarding the clips in the process. Since the product is centered on the declipper belt, an optional sectioning knife mounted at the discharge of the declipping stations can accurately cut the product in half. From the declipper, chubs can be indexed directly to a slicing or packaging line without human contact. With all these timesaving features, the Declipper can be a welcome addition to your processing line.

Brine Mixing System
The Brine Mixing System is ideal for high volume mixing, chilling and storage applications, Now you can prepare meat brines or poultry marinades quickly and efficiently in a controlled system for perfect repeatability, batch after batch. The brine mixing process begins at the dry ingredients hopper which is placed at a convenient height for easy loading. When the hopper valve is opened, a vacuumizing action siphons the precise amount of ingredients into the preparation tank. Once ingredients are inside the tank, a powerful centrifugal pump circulates and homogenizes the mixture. Even hard-to-mix ingredients like phosphates, proteins, gums and starches can be thoroughly homogenized quickly. Stainless steel system with fine sanitary finish throughout. Custom designed storage tanks available in capacities up to 530 gallons (2000 liters).

DuoMax
Many in the industry are in the predicament of switching equipment around constantly to setup for different products. One of these switches involves moving an inline or flat breader and switching it for a drum breader for their homestyle products. The DuoMax was designed to eliminate the need to move around equipment. It works as both a flat breader and a drum breader and easily switches between the two different modes for maximum efficiency. Inside the DuoMax is an adjustable conveyor attached to three drums. The conveyor can be put in the up position for flat breading and moved to the down position for homestyle products. The drums are easily removable for sanitation and the hood can be disassembled for ease of maintenance. The entire system is controlled by an HMI screen using a recipe based program. If you desire to make better use of the time normally used to switch out equipment, contact us about the DuoMax today!
