Berief Innovativ - Thermal Food Processing Equipment

For more than 60 years, Berief Innovativ has been designing and manufacturing high-quality machines and equipment for the thermal processing of food products for their customers. The machines are not only standardised but also developed according to the individual requirements. With state-of-the-art equipment, meat products, vegetables, pasta, soups, sauces, dairy products, dressings, and baby and pet food can be produced on the highest quality level.

KIPPKO TILTING COOKING KETTLE

Over the past years, the KIPPKO tilting cooking kettle has been developed into a 'super cooker' due to the integration of modern electronic Interbus technology to control the complete production process and to monitor the process data. Various products in the field of ready meals can be produced with this machine, including:

• Pasta
• Rice
• Soups
• Sauces
• Stews
• Vegetables
• Many other convenience components

The user can carry out all required production steps such as roasting, cooking, homogenising, concentrating, blanching, braising, mixing and cooling in the one machine. The kettle is heated indirectly with high-pressure steam up to 10bar. Many other options (for example direct steam injection, weighing device, various cooling possibilities, and homogeniser) offer the possibility to supply a kettle according to the individual requirements of the customer.

DUBRA CONTINUOUS CONTACT BELT GRILL

The DUBRA continuous contact belt grill has been developed into a world-beating machine and is included among the leading world food processing systems. All over the world, machines of this type are used to fry, brown and cook a variety of food products, many of this in the convenience food sector. Typical products for a Teflon belt grill are:

• Bacon
• Steaks
• Poultry fillets
• Hamburgers
• Meat strips
• Fish
• Vegetables
• Potato products
• Many other convenience products

Providing that the product to be processed has a certain fat content of its own, the use of external cooking fats and oil is completely eliminated. The result is a finished product with the typical flavour of its own juices and with a consistently high quality. The products to be fried are sandwiched between two glass fibre reinforced Teflon transport belts and fried between the upper and lower platens in continuous motion.

The machine is used for both short, intense browning as well as for gentle and uniform cooking of a variety of products. Machines of this type are used today in smaller production plants as flexible roasting units for different products as well as in industrial factories as integrated line units for the processing of products with high capacities.

THE INDUSTRIAL KITCHEN – PRODUCTION OF READY MEALS AND CONVENIENCE

The industrial preparation of convenience products and ready meals is becoming more and more important. Convenience products are used today in many fields:

• Catering for airlines, trains and ships
• Big events
• Canteen meals in companies, hospitals and schools
• Retirement homes
• Restaurants, hotels, bistros and holiday resorts
• Snack and fast food companies
• Supermarkets with products for home consumption

Apart from the rational production of food products, creativity and individuality play an important role in order to stand out from the competitors. In this connection, the optimally equipped industrial kitchen is becoming more and more significant.

KIPPKO tilting cooking kettles and the DUBRA Teflon belt grill form the basis of the cooking and roasting technology. With these two machines approximately 80% of the thermal cooking technology can be realised. Additional devices such as the tilting roasting pan (with and without agitator), the cooking kettle with slewable basket (HODAKO-S) and the dispersion mixer complete the equipment.

These and further machines and plants are designed, manufactured, sold and installed all over the world. Berief implement a flexible approach to the solutions we offer, and strive to meet the specific requirements of our customers.
