Continuous filling into a continuous sausage string ensures maximum productivity with superior product quality. The VegaCasing hardens in the fixing solution while the sausage string is being fed to the conveyor belts of the AL-System.
- Constant product flow under continuous pressure
- Gentle encasing of the product with a thin layer of VegaCasing
- Efficient handover to the hanging unit or other downstream function modules
- Continuous process with no non-productive times
The interplay of the hanging unit and two vacuum fillers has been further optimised by handtmann. The result is a smooth process step that ensures maximum productivity both technologically and economically.
- Perfect hanging of the continuous sausage string
- Constant calibre and maximum weight accuracy
- Smooth, continuous process in downstream processing systems
The continuous sausage string is preciselyseparated into defined units – with the option of forming depending on the product definition. This innovative process step of forming offers an excellent and attractive product appearance for the most stringent of customer demands.
- Exact separation of the continuous sausage string into defined portions with exact portion weight and uniform length
- Visually superior portions with individual product design
- Precise preparation of the products for the subsequent process step of grouping and depositing
The handtmann ConPro-System perfects the new process step of collating and depositing. With the handtmann collating module 310, portions can be grouped in many variants. Precise depositing on the collating belt 320 or exact insertion in trays conclude the automation process at the highest level. Continuous sausage production knows a new dimension: the new handtmann ConPro-System.
- Wide variety of grouping options
- Process reliability from filling through hanging, separating and forming to grouping and depositing
- High level of automation with high rationalisation effect
The VegaCasing patented by the Dutch company Ruitenberg is based on an alginate which is particularly suitable for continuous production with the handtmann ConPro-System. The profile of the VegaCasing is tailored to today's customers' wishes:
- Consistent, high level of product quality
- Perfect product presentation
- Individual product design
- Reliable resources
- Full process control and traceability
VegaCasing forms the ideal basis for creative product ideas and product developments. The casing thickness and casing surface can be flexibly adapted to the individual requirements. Whether shiny or matt, transparent or coloured, VegaCasing offers the individual solution for the right product surface.
