KS Smart Flow Production Line – The intelligent process solution

Sustainability by all-in-one machine configuration

With its Process Automats, KARL SCHNELL offers an intelligent solution that enables the production of both meat products and meat substitutes in a compact all-in-one machine.

Since all process steps are integrated into one unit and can be implemented flexibly, the user can design his products and formulatoins in an almost unlimited variety of ways. In the production of meat alternatives, for instance, there are many different parameters have to be set during the mincing and emulsification of the raw materials with regard to the selection and use of the cutting tools. 

HMMA-based formulations (meat analogues with a high water contenct) can mostly be treated in a similar way to classic fine meat emulsions. Here, the focus is on a perfect bite and a good mouthfeel. 

IN TVP-based (Textured Vegetable Protein) formulations, importance is placed on a pleasant structure. Here, both the pre-mincing and the fine mincing process must be handled very sensitively in order to achieve the desired uniform particle structure in the defined degree of fineness of the end product. 

As a pioneer in emulsification technology, KARL SCHNELL can draw on a wealth of experience and offer a variety of process-specific cutting systems. In combination with other features a high-quality, precise and reproducible result is achieved.

Intermediate cleaning of the machine, even during ongoing production, is perforemd by the CIP (cleaning in place) connection. The result of this self-contained system is the highest standard of hygiene without contamination, while at the same time minimizing the consumption of water and cleaning agents. 

In contrast to conventional systems, KS Process Automats require far less motor capacity when manufacturing a comparable product and , system-related, als have shorter process times.
