Flexible Production Solutions
at the Interzoo 2024
SHOWCASE
Interzoo 2024
May 7-10
Nuremberg
Hall 5 Booth 207
Handtmann will be presenting modular
production systems for the production
of a diversified range of pet food
products on a stand area of around 120
square meters in Hall 5 Stand 207 at
Interzoo in Nuremberg from 7th to 10th
May. Solutions will cover process steps
from product preparation all the way
through to the packaging of formed
treats and snack products or dosed
products, such as wet food, BARF and
cooked products in trays, cans, cups or
thermoformed packaging.
chopping/grinding technology and
excellent results.
Visitors can also expect the multilane
FS 510 forming system with a VF
800 vacuum filler for the production
of pet food sticks directly onto racks.
Flexible forming of cubes, bars, pellets,
heart shapes and more is possible for
the most diverse meat, fish and even
insect protein products. Production
can be onto up to 24 lanes at the
same time. The flow divider ensures
The cutting valve is available in 1-, 2-,
3-, 4-lane or 2x2-lane version with
flexible distance between lanes. It is
moveable, adjustable in height and
can be flexibly placed above the table,
conveyor or thermo-forming machine.
It has been given a safety-compliant
design without protective cover so that
no additional costs are incurred for
safety precautions.
The IG5-iT tying machine will be
exhibited for sausage products in
natural, collagen and artificial casing.
Sausages in a calibre range of 28 mm
to 80 mm are reliably tied at a high
output with individually adjustable
spacing and accurate weights, with or
without loops. Separating the products
immediately after the tying process
is possible as an option to ensure
safe sealing of the products while
eliminating the use of metal clips.

In product preparation, Handtmann
will be exhibiting the I225-iT to
demonstrate ultra-fine grinding and
emulsification technology for mediumscale
and industrial-scale productions.
This technology ensures consistently
homogeneous product quality for
a wide variety of products, such as
chunks in gravy, snack sticks, wet food
and more. The 1- to 5-stage cutting
system chops products of any viscosity
and temperature with great reliability.
It offers optimum adaptation to the
respective product with optimisation
of the degree of fineness while
simultaneously increasing productivity.
The combination of original Handtmann
cutting sets and variable process
speed makes for perfectly coordinated
a consistent product flow and thus
extremely accurate final weights of
each stick. Product separation happens
directly at the outlet, either with wire
or blade, uninterrupted and linear to
the product speed directly onto racks.
The 2-lane SV 424 cutting valve
with DS 552 depositing system and
vacuum filler will be another exhibit to
demonstrate simultaneous serial cutting
and dosing of fresh meat directly into a
thermo-forming machine. This solution
can be used for the direct vertical
dosing of chunky products into moulds,
trays or thermo-forming machines
without pre-batching. Portion sizes
from 200 grams with a cutting and
outlet diameter of 60 mm are possible.
