At CibusTec in Parma, Italy, Provisur Technologies, the international manufacturer of industrial food processing equipment, showcased a significant number of machinery and innovations. The company is based in Chicago, USA, and has branches around Europe, including an Innovation Center in France.
The company booth showcased form pressing systems from Hoegger® and advanced slicing technology with the Formax® SX330, both winning the prestigious Italian CibusTec Innovation Award.
Hoegger® X-Presses maximizing throughput and yield
Hoegger® form presses are used for many different meat products, such as bacon, pork loin, fresh beef, and smoked and dried meat. Meat producers require standardized products that are formed to a consistent shape, and which they can then deliver to the European and international markets. Provisur® Hoegger Presses ensure uniform product dimensions that enable efficient subsequent processing with maximum yield and reduced losses.
Speed and precision with servo-controlled press technology
At the heart of the Hoegger® X-Presses is servo-controlled hydraulic technology that provides fast and accurate pressing. The power of the central hydraulic unit is available for every axis of the hydraulic unit and is applied exactly where it is needed at any given moment. It enables precise travel profiles and controlled application of force, guaranteeing maximum slicing yield of meat specialties such as bresaola, coppa, bacon, speck, and many more whilst also keeping operating costs to a minimum.
The Formax® SX330 – cutting-edge technology for all requirements
The Formax® slicer SX330 – a small machine with big. As a result of the new machine’s higher blade speeds and larger cutting throat size, it sets new standards. In addition to the footprint and throughput advantages the slicer offers, it also provides flexible configuration for a wide range of products, user-friendly design, and optional on-site expansion potential. In addition, at 330 x 160 mm, it has the largest cutting throat in its class. With a cutting blade speed of 1000 or 1500 revolutions/minute, the system ensures top performance and perfectly complements the Provisur Slicer product range for an easy and professional changeover to automated food processing.
Speedy and versatile
The SX330 covers a wide range of applications – from simple slicing systems without scales to more complex slicing lines with up to two scales. It offers smooth, easy changes of components to process different products: the product feed, shear edge and gripper are already prepared for different types of deli meats, sausage, fresh meat, and cheese. Due to the open and hygienic design, the SX330 is also easily accessible for cleaning and maintenance.
Gerd Stratenwerth, Sales Manager at Provisur commented, “Provisur invests a significant percentage of its revenue in research and development. Our experienced team are constantly working towards new innovative solutions. We are delighted to have won the Cibus Tec Innovation Award for the Hoegger Presses and the Formax SX330 slicer, it strives us forward to keep “Pushing Boundaries” further into the future.
