HOEGGER - Meat Press, Bacon Press and Pasteurization Systems (Post Package)

For over 30 years, HOEGGER has been active in the conception and realization of food-related equipment and installations.

HOEGGER has consistently developed its bacon presses, meat presses and post-packing pasteurization systems, in view of customer requirements. As a result, HOEGGER has become a worldwide leader in the industry.

HOEGGER's flexible organization allows quick and reliable responses to customer demands with regards to bacon presses, meat presses and post-packing pasteurization systems.

Complex problems and tasks are taken as a positive challenge, and all the company's experience and know-how will be made available to find, together with our customers, a solution for any problems relating to bacon presses, meat presses and post-packing pasteurization systems.

BACON PRESS AND MEAT PRESS SYSTEMS

HOEGGER's meat presses and bacon presses are known for their reliability and safety in many different applications. HOEGGER offers three different types of meat presses and bacon presses.

MEAT PRESSES – SP 280 UNIVERSAL ELECTRO-PNEUMATIC MEAT PRESS

The SP 280 universal electro-pneumatic meat press and bacon press is ideal for processors with multiple products to press, and for smaller quantity orders. Possible applications include:

• Case-ready products
• Cured dried products
• Specialty products

BACON PRESSES – IP 320 ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC INDUSTRIAL BACON PRESS

The IP 320 electro-hydraulic industrial bacon press and meat press is the ideal press for processing larger quantities of products, and for when a higher power-requirement is needed. It is ideal for:

• Bacon (streaky, British back, Danish back, etc.)
• Liver
• Case-ready products (steaks and chops)
• Dried or cured ham products (Serano, Westphalia, Black Forest or Lomo)

BACON PRESSES – IP 420 ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC BACON PRESS

The IP 420 electro-hydraulic industrial high-speed meat press and bacon press is the largest press chamber in the world. It is ideal for the following applications:

• Bacon (pre-cooked lines, retail and food service)
• Philly steaks
• Case-ready products

All HOEGGER meat press and bacon press systems have a built-in product ejection system and are able to be optionally auto-loaded. The use of flexible-die sets that can be positioned to different heights allows a wide range of different products to be pressed with the same meat press or bacon press machine setup.

PASTEURIZATION SYSTEMS (POST PACKAGE)

Responding to a major customer issue – finding the most compact and efficient system for thermal food treatment – we have developed an innovative post-packing pasteurization system. These post-packing pasteurizer plants are compact and fully-controlled, ensuring the maximum shelf-life for your products.

The continuous post-packing pasteurizer is suitable for both surface pasteurization, and pasteurization for cooking and chilling of meat. Other applications include:

• Cooked ham and other meat products
• Sausages
• Ready meals
• Soups and sauces
• Pasta
• Potato products

PASTEURIZER AUTOMATION

The HOEGGER post-packing pasteurization system is custom-designed and built up modularly. A hand-fed post pasteurizer as well as fully-automated systems can be constructed.

The product leaves the post-packing pasteurizer in the same order and layout as it entered. The necessary dwell times and temperatures in the process zones are precisely kept.

Highly-critical temperatures are independently and constantly measured to guarantee a safe process and quality without error.

The fully-automated control unit allows exact maintenance and monitoring of all heating and chilling parameters.

ECONOMICAL AND EFFICIENT POST-PACKING PASTEURIZER THERMAL TRANSFER

In the post-packing pasteurizer's heating zone the product is efficiently heated by a wet-steam atmosphere and an intensive hot-water shower.

The maximum cooling effect is realized by contact of the coldest water with the coldest product. Using the counter-current principle (from bottom-up) any temperature blending in the post-packing pasteurizer is eliminated.

Thus, very careful and accurate treating of the product, as well as an exact temperature control, is realized. The completely-closed water circuit is highly efficient and water saving.

PASTEURIZER CUSTOM-DESIGNED MULTIPLE-LAYER SYSTEM

The post-packing pasteurizer's patented multiple-layer system allows efficient production on a minimum of floor space. The system is custom-designed to your requirements.

PASTEURIZER HEATING AND COOLING ZONE COMBINATIONS

Heating and cooling zones are in the same unit of the post-packing pasteurizer. The product is automatically transferred from the heating zone into the chilling zone. This eliminates unnecessary product-handling and mechanical stress on the package.
