Meat harvesting can be carried out with Stork's group of meat harvesting machines, which allow processors to recover tissue left on the bone following manual deboning, providing well-structured, high-quality meat and protein

FURTHER-PROCESSING EQUIPMENT

Stork's new low-pressure forming technology has been used to create the RevoPortioner forming machine, which provides high capacities, exceptionally high product-quality and low ownership costs. The RevoFormer forming machine is ideal for the potato industry.

Stork's further-processing equipment also includes coating machines for handling a wide variety of products and coatings, for example the BatterApplicator, RotoCrumb and TempuraApplicator.

GoldFryer frying equipment cooks food using oil, providing longer-life crispy and tasty products.

HOT AIR TREATMENT

The SpiralOven is a hot air treatment system with a unique three-in-one steam, cook or grill concept, allowing a wide variety of products to be processed in a single system. The LinearOven hot air treatment system gives products the correct colour, bite and flavour.

COOLING AND FREEZING EQUIPMENT

Stork can offer cooling and freezing equipment for meat and poultry products, potato products or ready-to-eat meals, and freezing or refrigerating in the medium-temperature range and in a limited space.

IN-LINE MARINATING

With the ValueDrum in-line marinating system it is possible to massage, marinate and garnish in a continuous flow of small batches without having any logistic issues. Different additives (fluid or powder) can be used in each segment to create the desired end product.

Another unique development is the ValueTrack in-line marinating system for bone-in poultry products, which can be used with a large number of marinades and garnishes, such as herbs and chopped vegetables, or for the application of hot spray marinades mixed in with garnishes.
