IFFA REVIEW - INTERVIEWS
final product. Non-contact cutting allows
maximum service life. The KS RotaPlate cutting
system can be fitted in all KS Emulsifiers and
Process Automats. As a result, with the same
machinery an even higher variety of products
can be produced with differentiated degree
of fineness and inclusion of coarse recipe
ingredients
What makes your solutions unique and what
differentiates you from your competitors?
As the inventor of the continuous cutting
technology, Karl Schnell has over 65 years of
experience in manufacturing machines and
complex production lines for the food industry.
“ We are confident that
with our comprehensive
machinery portfolio, KS
can react on almost any
customer request to find
a satisfying solution for
their individual needs and
requirements.”
We are confident that with our comprehensive
machinery portfolio, KS can react on almost any
customer request to find a satisfying solution
for their individual needs and requirements. KS
work in tight cooperation with its international
distributers and keep a close eye to the newest
tendencies in the worldwide food sector.
Since some of the top trends addressed
at this year’s IFFA were resource and cost
- efficiency, as well as sustainability, what
is your contribution to these topics?
With the series F150 / F200 for small and
medium-sized producers and FD175 / FD225
for larger production, the KS emulsifiers make
effective use of the required optimization
possibilities and therefore constitutes a very
cost-effective solution ¬.Using the F-Series
emulsifier for the production of the emulsion
will drastically reduce the process time and the
energy consumption. Energy-saving potentials
of 20 % - 30 % can easily be achieved. The
uniquely designed cutting system is key to the
performance of the KS F-series emulsifiers. The
wide variations and different configurations make
them the ideal choice for many applications.

What kind of innovations did you showcase
at IFFA?
MAJA showcased innovations in all our
product sections of meat processing
including derinding, defatting, membrane
skinning, poultry skinning and portion
control meat slicing systems, as well as
flexible automation solutions, for the food
industry. Besides that, we presented our
wide range of ice machines, especially for
the use of environment-friendly refrigerants.
Many innovations offer customer-specific
advantages and solutions, which allow a
high degree of flexibility, economic operation
and maximum yield.
“More than 60 years of
experience in the field of
food processing results
in machines offering solid
construction and exemplary
reliability.”
One of the highlights at our booth were
the latest generation of portion control
meat slicing system and the new MAJA
FP 240-6. Its volumetric slicing principle
allows to slice all types of meat cuts, fresh
or frozen, without and even with bones. The
visitors have been very enthusiastic about
the high portioning speed, the minimum
non-productive times and the maximum
yield by trimming-free division of the raw
material. The FP 240-6 is an extremely
flexible portioning solution for mediumsized
and industrial processors.
What makes your solutions unique
and what differentiates you from your
competitors?
More than 60 years of experience in the
field of food processing results in machines
offering solid construction and exemplary
reliability. Customers appreciate the legendary
MAJA quality in hygienic design. All MAJA
machines are easy to clean, offering excellent
product safety and sanitation. But not only
the machines are of excellent quality, but also
their international availability and after-sales
service, which are guaranteed by a network of
competent MAJA sales and service partners
all over the world.
Since some of the top trends addressed
at this year’s IFFA were resource and cost
- efficiency, as well as sustainability, what
is your contribution to these topics?
Ecology, sustainability and responsible use
of precious energy resources are primary
subjects of concern when developing and
manufacturing any MAJA machine. Since
2010 already, ecology has been a very
important subject for MAJA with the use
of eco-friendly natural refrigerants for the
production of MAJA ice. In 2013, MAJA
became a member of the platform of the
European mechanical engineering industry,
for forerunners in sustainability and partner
of the Engineering Industry Sustainability
Initiative “Blue Competence”.
What would be your future challenges in
terms of innovative solutions that would
meet your customers requirements?
Also in the future, it will be MAJA’s aim to
offer solutions to meet the steadily growing
demands of our customers all over the world.
This is only possible thanks to the close dialogue
with the market. Customers all over the world
appreciate the quality and reliability of MAJA
machines. It is our aim to always meet these
requirements and we will continue to develop,
manufacture and distribute machines which
correspond to our motto - “Technology for
the future.”
