Meat Processing

An Ice Systems Ice Machine is a great addition to any medium or large Meat Processing facility. From Abattoirs to Primary Processing along with Value Added applications. 

As an alternative to water, Sub-cooled Flake Ice can be added quickly, easily and when required ensuring product quality and consistency. Within the abattoir sector, ice is often used to cool intestines and preserve hides whilst travelling. Within primary processing, and manufacturing of sausages as an example, heat is generated during the mixing or bowl chopper process. 

Sub-cooled Flake Ice (-7°C) replaces water and is colder and less aggressive on machinery blades than chip ice machines. The flat and thin, brittle structure (high surface area) of flake ice offers a quick melt, consistently and evenly releasing its cooling energy rapidly without leaving residue.

Our engineer says…

“Whilst at an Abattoir in Shropshire, Isaac wanted to know why they were putting ice on the hides.  He spoke with production and they explained the skin must be cooled immediately after slaughter to maintain quality and to prevent degrading. They have previously used salt dosing but ice has proven to be the preferred method due to its ease of use.”
