Deboning
Kortlever designs and manufactures customized deboning solutions for dividing of pork and beef carcasses.
Our ergonomic layouts comply with applicable health and safety regulations.
The pork carcasses are automatically supplied from the cooling area, put on a deboning conveyor and, afterwards, are divided in leg, loin/belly and shoulder by means of a laser controlled cutter. The same procedure can be applied on beef deboning as well.
After dividing, the technical parts are automatically carried with various deboning belts to workstations for further processing and transport.
Table deboning
Table deboning enables butchers to execute their work at tables. The butchers make multipe “cuts”.
Applicable deboning belts:
- Ergonomic
- Hygenic and easy to clean
- Solid
Pace deboning
Pace deboning enables butchers to execute their work at the conveyor belt which carries the carcasses through the deboning area. The conveyor belts suit as work station in order to further debone the parts of the carcasses. Every butcher has his/her own task within the deboning process. The speed is set by the conveyor belt.
Applicable deboning belts:
- Ergonomic
- Hygenic and easy to clean
- Solid
- Suitable for adding optional belt lifters
- Suitable for adding optional CIP (Cleaning In Place)
- Suitable for adding optional catch plates
Further processing
Kortlever continuously develops innovative production processes for existing and new meat products based on today’s technical possibilities.
Cordon bleu
We offer two different production processes:
The sandwich method
The patties are supplied in right shape. The filling is supplied on row 1-3-5 etc., e.g. ham and cheese (by means of a slicer) or a liquid mix of it (by means of a dosing unit).
Afterwards, row 1 is put on a resting conveyor by means of a panning machine. Row 2 is put on top of row 1, etc.
With a special sealing device, row 1 and 2 are patted down and transported to a battering installation and a frying line.
Available in 4- and 6-row execution.
The folded method
The patties are supplied in right shape. The filling is supplied on every patty, e.g. ham and cheese (by means of a slicer) or a liquid mix of it (by means of a dosing unit).
The patties are folded with a folding machine so that a halfmoon shaped cordon bleu is made.
With a special sealing device, the patty is patted down and transported to a battering installation and a frying line.
Available in 4-, 6- and 8-row execution.
Bacon wrapped sausages
This traditional meat product is made out of:
- bacon with therein:
- seasoned minced meat filling
There are two different forms of appearances:
a) A completely closed bacon wrapped sausage with sealed sides
b) A bacon wrapped sausage with open sides.
The usual weight of a bacon wrapped sausage is 100 gram and 40 gram of the mini version of it.
For the production of closed bacon wrapped sausages, two bellies are formed to a so-called T-shape (compressing and tempering).
A bacon wrapped sausage line works on 5 product rows.
- 5 T-shaped slices are put next to each other by means of a slicer.
- Minced meat is portioned on the T-shaped bacon slices.
- Afterwards, the side pieces are folded up and rolled up.
The bacon wrapped sausage with open sides is rolled up in a single way.
