Industrial Bowl Cutter from K+G Wetter
as Award-Winning Hygienic Secure Series
SILVER INTERNATIONAL FOODTECH AWARD 2021,
PATENT FOR INNOVATIVE KNIFE COVER STRIP
With “Hygienic Secure”, the
mechanical engineering
specialists at K+G Wetter have
also completely redeveloped the
industrial models VCM 200 L,
VCM 360 L and VCM 550 L from
the proven vacuum bowl cutter
series. The industrial bowl cutter
series was awarded the silver
International FoodTech Award 2021
at the beginning of the year. With
this award, the German Agricultural
Society DLG as the organisation
of the German agricultural and
food industry has been honouring
groundbreaking developments in
the field of food technology for
many years. An international jury of
experts awards prizes to the most
innovative concepts.
WITHOUT SEALS AND
TOOLS – HYGIENIC SECURE
AS NEW STANDARD
A special advantage of the Hygienic
Secure machine generation: the
area between the cutter bowl and
the vacuum chamber does not
need a seal. This eliminates one
of the most difficult parts of the
hygienically sensitive machine
area to clean. Time and costs for
replacing seals are also eliminated.
In addition, there are large cleaning
flaps in the vacuum chamber that
can be opened without tools. They
allow easy access with the cleaning
lance. This way, cleanliness can
be checked quickly, safely and
reliably. This guarantees hygiene
and product safety.
Parts such as the bowl scraper or the
bowl support pad can be removed
without tools for cleaning and
reinserted for the next processing
operation. The machine can be
loaded and unloaded more quickly
thanks to the new, split vacuum lid.
These two features save time with
each new product and ensure even
greater hygiene in the production of
high-quality food.
The meat processing specialists
at K+G Wetter generally make sure
that the vacuum bowl cutters can
be cleaned as quickly and reliably
as possible in a hygienically safe
and thorough manner. Handpolished
sloping stainless steel
surfaces, for example, ensure that
cleaning agents and water run off
safely and reliably without forming
puddles or standing water.

A highlight of the vacuum bowl
cutters in the K+G Wetter range: the
