Magurit Fromat 042 Eco 

The Magurit Fromat 042 Eco is a frozen block reducer and is ideal for the cutting of frozen meat blocks into slices, or when fitted with a cross-knife head, into smaller sized pieces; perfect for further downstream processing equipment. Various different machines cater for production rates up to 800Kgs, cutting at temperatures as low as -25 degrees centigrade. Magurit models are stainless steel constructed and because of the very robust build, these machines will give many years of service.

The Fromat is gravity fed via slope, on which the blocks slide down to the cutting area. All machines have a strong hydraulic drive for operation of the knife head. The Fromat is the perfect machine for pre-cutting of blocks for further processing in bowl choppers and grinders. This type is suitable for all standard block shapes and sizes. The Fromat can cut meat at very low temperatures. The final cut pieces are typically used in raw sausage production. With different knife heads the desired cutting result will be obtained.

Lab Cheese Cooker – Blentech Cheeztherm

 

Small food batch equipment

 

Blentech Lab Cheeztherm

Blentech’s laboratory cheese cooker – The Lab Cheeztherm is the efficient way to cook processed or analog cheese on a small, experimental scale. This system utilises twin horizontal agitation technology that has proven to produce high-quality finished products using a variety of processed and analog cheese formulations.  The laboratory scale CheeseTherm is ideal for bench-top product formulation development allowing preparation of products on a small but scalable system. The cook chamber and agitator geometry is proportioned to deliver excellent mixing properties and even distribution of heat.

The counter-rotating twin solid screw agitator design gently blends the cheese while it imparts a controlled shearing action – improving quality. The “double action” of the two adjacent agitators moves the cheese in opposite directions continuously stretching the cheese. This stretching action is especially beneficial in developing the fibrous texture of mozzarella cheese.

The blending action and variable RPM of the counter-rotating twin agitators quickly “fuse” the steam and cheese particles together while kneading the moisture into the dry ingredients allowing them to hydrate properly.

Highlights:

• Dual Agitator
• Safety Features
• Automation
• Variable Speed
• Temperature Control
• Direct Steam Injection

Frozen Slicing & Dicing

 

 

MAGURIT DICECUT and UNICUT: are designed for precise cutting of block-frozen meat, dairy and confectionery into cubes and strips. The UNICUT series includes the machines with a two-dimensional cut for strips and slices, while the DICECUT series three-dimensional cutting machines for strips and dices.

frozen slicing and dicing

UNICUT is an abbreviation of UNI-form CUT-ting, which can be translated as ” uniform cutting “.

What is special about these freezer cutters is the combination of the clean cut of a guillotine with a precise product feed and an integrated product hold-down device.

This means that the product is precisely positioned in front of the knives before it is cut. As a result, the product cannot avoid the knives and the “even cut” described above occurs.

UNICUT can also be used whenever raw materials are to be processed that do not slip on stainless steel, such as confectionery or some dairy products. This is where the feed and hold-down system offers the decisive advantage. The UNICUT is available with belt drive or with an integrated, pneumatic feed table.

Cutting temperature range between 0 and -25 degrees centigrade

Applications:  Frozen slicing and dicing of Frozen: Meat, Poultry, Fish, Vegetables, Cheese and pork scratchings.

 

frozen slicing and dicing

Dicecut: Frozen Block Dicer

 

 

frozen block dicer

DICECUT is the epitome of precise cutting of frozen meat products into exact cubes and strips. When cutting frozen meat into cubes, when using the MAGURIT DICECUT 502 or 506  , lengthy tempering is often not necessary, which also prevents the loss of expensive raw material in the form of meat juice, which can be between 2 – 6%.

At the same time, the energy costs are significantly reduced and the processing process is significantly accelerated, with less microbiological contamination of the product and significantly reduced production costs, but at the same time a higher yield. With a cutting space of 420 x 240 x 900 mm for the DICECUT 502 or 630 x 240 x 1100 mm for the DICECUT 506 , all known EURO or US block formats can be processed without pre-shredding or compression. The machines can be operated by one employee, including loading the blocks of meat and removing the cut product, or they can be integrated into a complete processing line, including weighing and packaging.

Cutting temperature range between -4 and -25 degrees centigrade

Applications: Frozen slicing and dicing of beef, pork, poultry or fish

THE SPECIALIST FOR FROZEN BLOCK REDUCTION

THE SPECIALIST FOR FROZEN BLOCK REDUCTION

Magurit are renowned around the world for producing the highest quality, yield and durability machines.

Their Fromat and Starcutter range can reduce frozen blocks at temperatures between -25 to -18 centigrade saving you time and yield loss by not needing to temper the product as well as increasing safety for your production staff.

Ideal for the production of sausages, burgers, kebabs and much more:Frozen Block reduction

Machines from the FROMAT model series are guillotine cutters in which the blocks slide under their own weight in the direction of the vertically driven knives.

In all models, the knives are driven by a correspondingly powerful hydraulic system, and all common block shapes and sizes are cut cleanly, even at very low temperatures.

This makes the FROMAT ideal machines for pre-crushing the frozen blocks for further processing in cutters or grinders. Due to the clean cut, there is only little condensation on the surface . Therefore, these machines are also particularly suitable for raw sausage production.

Magurit offer different cutter heads for all models in order to achieve the best cutting result for the various requirements. FROMAT are very robust machines and our product range offers solutions for trade and industry, with hourly outputs from 800 kg to a maximum of 7,000 kg.

Applications:  Meat, Poultry, Fish, Vegetables, Cheese and Fruit

Starcutter: Frozen Block Flaker

Frozen Meat Guillotine

These freezer cutters with a rotating knife roller, type STARCUTTER, are characterized by continuous high cutting performance with a high-quality cutting pattern , even at very low temperatures.

The reasons for this lie in the special bow knife technology, the cutting roller geometry, the integrated block hold-down device and the block feed system, which means that even pressure is always exerted on the material to be cut.

The STARCUTTER series offers the most comprehensive range of rotary freezer cutters worldwide, for hourly outputs between 1,000 kg and 8,000 kg. We supply these machines for all capacity requirements, for all block sizes, by far the most versatile blade variations, and many options for production line integration.

Applications: Frozen block reduction for further processing of: Meat, Poultry, Fish, Cheese and Fruit

Its target is to be able to integrate cutting technology into continuous cooking and cooling processes such as
fajita-strips, chicken dices etc. Therefore the discharge was designed with a conveyor belt, rather than the standard meat trolley.

But knowing our agents and customers, they will quickly find other applications!
