Processor Opportunity:
Flexibility is often a key goal when processors approach Provisur about creating a customized and integrated system designed to simplify the production of multiple products, including ground beef patties and bricks, cooked meatballs and other formed products.
Provisur Solution:
This solution was created using our Weiler® brand grinding and mixing equipment feeding raw material to Formax® brand formers. Keeping the needs for flexibility efficiency and product quality foremost in our design, the system can utilize tempered frozen and fresh products in a wide range of percentages.
Equipment in this system includes:
- Lift and pivot combo dumper with pallet retract
- MH80 metering hopper
- 1612 Frozen block grinder
- 1109 Fresh pre-grinder
- M7225 Mixer with load cells and sample grinder (2)
- M360B Mixer with CO2 and load cells (2)
- BPF60 Versagrind 11-6
- Ultra 26 Former (2)
- Various material handling equipment
All systems are fully automated with PLC control and are extremely labor efficient. Consistent homogeneity is achieved via a counter-rotating/overlapping paddle design that transfers very little mechanical energy to the product. This configuration of equipment allows our customer to efficiently pre-blend raw materials to distinct lean points or desired product mixtures and to precisely control final blend to a given lean point or to a specific product recipe.
The final grind is accomplished using our VersaGrind® technology, ensuring a final product with superior particle definition and improved performance at the final cooking stage. Two Ultra 26 Formers help maximize the throughput of the entire system and ensure a high quality product.
