German giant Handtmann showed off its recently-launched VF 800 Vacuum Filler, debuted at the world’s biggest meat processing machinery trade show, IFFA, in 2016.
It has a 350-litre bowl that can mix meat. The drum can be fitted to a sausage-filling machine. And this was how Handtmann had its kits set up at Gulfood Manufacturing. The business said the machinery could make up to 2,000 sausages per minute.
The machine uses a form of ultraviolet light called UVC to purify the air inside the drum to stop raw meat, such as mince, being exposed to air and causing oxidisation.
