Verti-Form® Menu Opportunities

Formax®'s Verti-Form! tooling creates a wealth of new menu opportunities for casual dining establishments, QSRs and retail customers. The Verti-Form! whole muscle system produces portions for chicken fried steak, strip steaks, 3-D rib sandwiches, fajitas and more. Menu and product line expansions are important, the company says, because growth in the casual dining segment by itself is expected to top $5.1 billion in five years.

The formed portions created by the Verti-Fonn® system offer excellent product appearance, size consistency and whole muscle texture. The automated process minimizes giveaway and is a wise alternative to cutting portions by hand. It can be added to any of the company's forming machines, including the new PLC-controlled F • 6® and F • 400® models. It can also be added to Formax®'s F • 19® and F • 26® that can be equipped with Data* Max® software for monitoring production on-line.

A worldwide support team, offering multilingual training, parts and service, backs all Formax® products. Formax® technical service reps are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
