In-Line Particle Reduction System

Marlen Research Corp.t In-Line Particle Reduction System is easy to clean, less complex, and can be integrated with bone collection equipment, providing a more complete particle reduction solution to the meat processing industry. With its single-cut rotating knife-blade, the system is available in 8in. and 11in. In this latest design, the manufacturer has enclosed the cabinet of the unit and included the hydraulic power unit in the cabinet. The result is grinding equipment that requires less floor space and is less complex.

Particle cut-lengths are controlled by adjusting the product pumping speed and the independently controlled knife-speed, thus allowing processors to choose a larger diameter opening in the plate and yet obtain the particle size desired. It is also available in 5in. and 8 5/8in. systems for processors producing a lower volume of product.

When used to produce dry sausage products such as pepperoni and salami, the system results in reduced drying time and reduced cupping. The improved product density means cost savings in casing usage. Other cost savings are possible by adjusting product formulations without compromising product appearance or mouthfeel.

For fresh and smoked sausage and ground beef, the system results in products with better particle definition, improved color and increased shelf life. Final products are free of smear, with improved shelf presence and consumer appeal.
