The handtmann type GD 93-3 mincing system can be universally used for Filling, Portioning, and Linking and is particularly suited for dry sausage and coarse products. The outstanding product appearance is evident from the distribution of particulates achieved without smearing on the cut surface. Combined with the new Vane Cell Feed System, with efficient product evacuation, products are evenly and densely filled for quality. The advantages are:

• Reduced process steps
• Simplified production procedures
• Longer shelf life
• Variable cutting speed with individual Filling and Grinding Drives
• Maximum product quality

The sealed vacuum system ensures that air is evacuated from the product through an effective period of time, resulting in a high-quality product, free of air. The exclusion of air begins as product is gently drawn by vacuum transport from a reservoir into our vaccum hopper, where it is subjected to continuous vacuum. A feed auger gently transfers the product to the meat pump, where it continues to be subjected to vacuum. The sealed vacuum system works in perfect unity with handtmann's patented vane cell pump to provide precise portions with highest product quality.

The drive for manufacturing meatballs is connected directly at the outlet of the Vacuum Filling Machine. It feeds evacuated product continuously to the type 79-0. Two outlet diameters are available for products up to 50 mm and up to 70 mm. The economic advantages for the user are ensured by:

• Delivery rate of up to 400 portions/min
• Portioning accuracy
• Easy handling

The automatic HV 60-6 or HV 60-7 Casing Holding Device is mounted directly to the linking gearbox without the aid of tools. A flexible casing brake assembly can be quickly inserted into the Holding Device for product calibre changes. The convincing results are:

• Minimum number of bursts
• Higher performance
• Outstanding calibre accuracy with all synthetic and collagen casings

The easy-to-handle design of the handtmann Holding Device can be suspended on a swing arm and moved to the side. This makes changing to Filling & Portioning from Linking a simple operation.

With the handtmann Type 78-6 casing spooling device you can increase the efficiency of your automatic Filling, Portioning and Linking machine when producing sausages in natural casing. The advantages are:

• Minimum interruption to the filling process
• Uniform and gentle spooling of the casing
• Suitable for all natural casings
• Simple operation

The Type 85-2 Filling Head is ideally suited to portion mixes with high viscosity to semiviscous products with particulates. The 85-2 is pneumatically controlled with electronic interface to the VF 600 for portion accuracy. An independent air supply is required.

The MVD is connected directly to the handtmann vacuum filler. Accurate and uniform distribution from one into several product flows with liquid, pasty or homogenous products such as meat and fish products, filet, American cheese, bread filling, cevapcici and various snack products. With 2-8 outlets as standard. Volumetrically accurate distribution, and straight filling and portioning.

The 83-6 is driven hydraulically. It comes in two models -- one for standard 200h kitchen carts and one for 300h kitchen carts.
