Controlled slicing machine launched

Netherlands-based food processing technology company Sabofa has introduced a new slicing machine to the market.

The VS 250-1 is suitable for slicing beef, poultry and pork, with 22 blades able to slice to a thickness of 5mm.

Sabofa reported: "The VS 250-1 can slice multiple slices at once and vertically, with the proven Sabofa oscillating blade system. The slicing unit consists of product holders that pass the product through the rapidly moving blades.

"The slicing unit can reach a maximum capacity of 60 products per minute. It has a plc that controls both the slicing unit and the tray dispenser.

"After the product is sliced, the tray dispenser drops a tray on top of the product holder. Then the product is placed in the tray using gravity.

"What is of the utmost importance with chicken breast fillet is that the skin side is always up. We have complete control on how the product is placed in the tray."
