Horizontal Slicing machine for fresh meat

Compared to the standard fixed-thickness horizontal cutting machines currently available on the market, KSL-DV is able to detect the size and shape of each incoming product and adjust the cutting process to maximize the yield and quality of the cut product. This is made possible by the use of a 3D scanner system to examine the product combined with specially devel-oped software and by a patented blades movement system. This allows the machine to au-tomatically decide how many blades (from 0 to 6) to be used as well as to adjust automatical-ly the positions of the blades and those of the pressure parameters in order to minimize the unusable residues of the cutted product and, ideally, to achieve complete zero waste.

The control of the cutting movement by an electronic actuator allows easy modification of all cutting parameters during production in real time, so that each individual piece can be treated according to its individual cutting parameters and ultimately an average product yield of 96 % to 98 % can be achieved. The energy savings and the cleaner downstream handling process combined with a corresponding reduction in the risk of contamination and an improvement in the shelf life of the product are also decisive. The system is compatible with other standard machines and can therefore be easily integrated into existing production lines. In addition, by adapting the software, this cutting process can also be transferred to other product areas.
