IFFA REVIEW
mechanical processes using a push button
or illuminated ring keys. Processes such as
hydraulic loading and unloading, closing and
opening of the knife lid, start and stop functions
or speed changes can be simply controlled
using an illuminated ring key. The user will
receive a sensory and visual confirmation of
the commands for the best possible degree
of control. As an alternative, these commands
can also be entered on the touch panel, such
as different knife speeds, which are well visible
on the screen and can be selected directly.
Intuitive operation and individual design
Each user can customise the panel in accordance
with his own wishes and requirements. That
includes setting up the most important shut-down
functions for the user, such as temperature,
time or bowl revolutions, on a separate large
area of the panel. All data can be viewed and
controlled through the menu, such as various
machine and operating data. But it also enables
updating recipes and recipe management via
CutControl. The latter will lead the user through
the production process for each recipe step
by step. The CutVision software also enables
the user to record and read out all production
steps with the measurable quantities, such as
times, temperature progression etc. This ensures
the most important cornerstone for quality
management in the cutting production step.

New TIPPER TIE
TTSealH Boosts
Productivity,
Lowers Packaging
Costs
TIPPER TIE, Inc., a leading supplier of
automated clipping systems, released its new
TTSealH at IFFA 2016. The TTSealH delivers
key performance benefits to meat processors,
as well as to chemical, confectionary, and dairy
manufacturers. Processors can expect to see
improved productivity and lower packaging
costs with the automated heat-seal and clip
system for pumpable products.
TTSealH is compatible with the TIPPER TIE
TT1512 and TT1815 automatic double clippers.
The system runs cost effective roll stock films
including blank or printed films, as well as
most types of monolayer and multi-layer
issue 8 | www.meatingpoint-mag.com
flat foils such as poly, mylar, and aluminum
coated films. Roll stock film increases versatility
while enabling longer production runs with a
maximum film roll diameter of 355 millimeters.
The system’s hot-seal capacity is 30 meters
per minute, producing chubs in calibers from
20 to 120 millimeters.
TTSealH is easy to operate, thanks to advanced
touch screen controls that are integrated into
the clipper. The highly functional controls enable
a single operator to work in any of several
languages, quickly accessing and recalling
hundreds of product recipes. The system is
compact and constructed of stainless steel and
other non-corrosive materials. The results are
long service life, safe performance, hygienic
cleaning and easy maintenance.

Marel V-Pump
awarded “Best
innovation in
food processing
technology”
In addition to its well-known RevoPortioner
family, Marel has introduced the new
developed V-Pump at IFFA 2016. This
V-shaped piston pump produces, together
with the RevoPortioner 700, up to 5,000 kg.
high quality red meat convenience products
per hour. The new pump is awarded with
the “best innovation in food processing
technology” and is proving its success daily
to various customers that deliver products
to demanding global QRS companies.
Core of the new technology are two alternating
belt-wide pistons, delivering a uniform pressure
to the forming unit, moving the meat mass
over a small distance with a minimum of
pressure. This retains the original meat
structure and texture as much as possible,
an important factor for a good bite and
attractive mouth feel.
From meat to burger in 30 CM
Traditional pumping of meat with an auger,
via piping and/or using vacuum and higher
pressures, leads to more shear and friction,
more ‘damage’ to the natural meat structure.
In the V-Pump meat mass is gathered by
gravity only, right on top of the highly
regarded Marel RevoPortioner. The distance
it travels under pressure into the smoothly
rotating drum of the RevoPortioner is very
short: only 30 centimeters.
“The meat passageway is completely augerfree.
The width of the piston is as wide as
the forming drum. Meat does not have to
be spread horizontally in a manifold and
vacuum is not needed. Friction and shear
are avoided. The pressure applied is low:
All these features help retain the original
meat structure.”
No waste
A production process including the V-Pump
and RevoPortioner is very stable, clean and
consistent. There is virtually no loss of raw
product (less than 0,3%), no downgrades
and no rework. All valuable raw materials
are used. Reducing waste is attractive not just
from a financial point of view; it also makes
the best use of scarce natural resources.
Confidence
Henri Janssen, Director Sales and Marketing
for Further Processing, says: “At IFFA 2013
we received this Innovation award for our
Modular Oven System. Now we receive it for
our V-Pump. To us this is a proof that we made
the right choice to focus on developing true
innovative solutions. We are convinced that
this new V-pump will also be very successful.”
