Optimizing Your Meat Processing: Equipment Solutions for Every Stage

Ensuring optimal hygiene while maximizing throughput is a constant challenge in meat processing. No matter the size of your operation, New Age Industrial offers a comprehensive line of aluminum equipment designed to streamline your workflow and prioritize food safety.

Small processors might prioritize mobile equipment that allows for flexible use of space, while larger facilities may require a focus on heavy-duty machinery and efficient production lines. Our modular equipment solutions cater to both scales, allowing you to customize your processing line for optimal efficiency.

Essential Equipment for Every Stage

Receiving and Initial Processing

This crucial first stage sets the tone for the entire process. Our equipment ensures a smooth and sanitary transition of raw meat from delivery to processing.

Durable Receiving Carts: Hygienically transport heavy loads of meat with our easy-to-clean aluminum carts. Choose from basic models like Heavy Duty Wet Produce Carts or lower deck Platform Trucks for seamless movement throughout your facility.

Sanitary Cutting Solutions: Poly Top Tables provide a durable and sanitary work surface for cutting and deboning, built with high-grade aluminum and polyethylene for easy maintenance and corrosion resistance.

Stunning and Slaughtering

Safe and humane handling is essential at this stage. Specific equipment may vary based on operation size.

Washdown Stations: Stunning and slaughtering can be messy processes. Washdown Stations with integrated floor drains and hot water access create designated areas for cleaning equipment used during stunning and slaughter, ensuring a hygienic environment for subsequent processing stages. These stations also promote worker safety by providing a designated and well-lit area for equipment cleaning, away from active stunning and slaughtering activities.

Boot Drying Racks: Enhance worker safety and hygiene by providing designated areas for drying boots used during stunning and slaughtering. Our industrial-grade Aluminum Boot Drying Racks offer efficient drying and are easy to clean.

Evisceration and Dressing

Here, the internal organs are removed, and the carcass is cleaned and prepared for further processing. Our equipment streamlines this stage while maintaining hygiene.

Stainless Steel Top Work Tables: Our durable and easy-to-clean stainless steel work tables provide a hygienic work surface for evisceration and dressing tasks.

Poly Tub Carts: Transport and manage removed organs efficiently with our Bulk Carts and Mega Movers, varying in size and capacity.

Chilling and Aging

Proper temperature control is critical for food safety. New Age Industrial offers solutions for both rapid chilling and controlled aging.

Industrial Transport Carts: Move meat cuts efficiently between processing areas and chilling units with our maneuverable Industrial Transport Carts including Boxed Beef Trucks, Mobile Dunnage Racks with Optional Removable Handles and Tow Loops, Super Dollies, Freezer Basket Trucks, Platform Trucks, and more!

Aging Room Racks: For facilities that incorporate aging, our customizable Aluminum Shelving Units can be designed to optimize space within aging rooms. They are available in adjustable, cantilever, and fully welded construction.

Fabrication and Deboning

Here, the carcass is broken down into various cuts. Our equipment ensures precision and worker safety.

Heavy-Duty Work Tables: Our industrial-grade Aluminum Work Tables with stainless steel tops or poly tops provide a sturdy platform for fabrication tasks like sawing and deboning.

Mobile Saw Stations: Enhance worker mobility and task efficiency with mobile Saw Stations featuring integrated work surfaces and waste collection. Ergonomic Platforms: Workers performing these tasks often spend extended periods standing in the same position, which can strain their backs and shoulders. Ergo Stands in these areas allow workers to temporarily adjust their work height to a more comfortable and ergonomic posture. The aluminum construction with a cut-out carrying handle makes them easy to sanitize and resistant to rust and corrosion.

Grinding, Mixing, and Further Processing: Transforming Meat into Final Products

This broad stage encompasses various processes that transform meat into an array of delicious finished products. Here, meat is prepared for further processing or packaging. This stage encompasses various processes depending on the desired final product. New Age Industrial offers adaptable solutions to support your specific needs to ensure efficient grinding and hygienic mixing.

Stable Grinding Platforms: Our modular aluminum stands provide a stable and vibration-resistant work surface for your meat grinders and other heavy equipment.

Mixing Bowls and Carts: Our easy-to-clean aluminum Mixing Bowls and Carts are ideal for blending ingredients during sausage or brat production or other mixing applications.

Bulk Handling Solutions: Lug Tub Carts, Lug Dollies, Bulk Carts, and Mega Movers cater to various capacities, perfect for transporting loose product like ground beef and trimmings.

Aluminum Smokesticks: For operations producing smoked sausages or meat sticks in-house, New Age Industrial also offers aluminum Smokesticks. These durable and reusable sticks are perfect for hanging and smoking a variety of sausages and meat products. Made from high-grade aluminum, our smokesticks provide even heat distribution and are easy to clean, ensuring optimal hygiene throughout the smoking process.

Mat Racks and Carts: Maintain a clean and sanitary work environment by efficiently storing and transporting perforated mats used throughout the further processing stages. Our mobile Mat Racks and Carts allow for easy organization, cleaning, and transportation of perforated mats, promoting proper hygiene throughout your facility.

Packaging & Shipping

Proper packaging protects your product and ensures it reaches consumers in optimal condition. Our solutions prioritize hygiene and efficient storage.

Compliant Storage: Our aluminum storage racks are designed for maximum durability and can be customized to fit your storage needs, ensuring proper organization and compliance with food safety regulations.

Streamlined Display: Platter Racks come in angled runner and base support options to efficiently transport wrapped final products from the butcher’s table to the freezer or display cases.

Durable Pallets: Open Channel Pallets offer a long-lasting, fireproof, and easy-to-clean solution for closed-loop pallet systems within your organizational footprint.

Order Picker Platforms (for Large Orders or High Inventory Placement): While not essential for most packaging and shipping tasks, mobile order picker platforms can provide an ergonomic solution for occasional high-volume orders or strategically placing large quantities of packaged meat on pallets or storage racks. This can improve worker safety and efficiency in these specific situations.

Don’t Forget: The Vital Role of Ergonomics

Investing in worker comfort is an investment in long-term productivity. Our ergonomic solutions promote worker well-being. Ergo Stands provide adjustable height platforms for workers on the line, reducing fatigue and promoting long-term well-being.

Investing in the Right Equipment

Choosing the right equipment is an investment in the efficiency, safety, and overall success of your meat processing operation. New Age Industrial offers a wide range of aluminum equipment designed to meet the specific needs of each stage, scalable to fit the size and workflow of your facility. Our commitment to food safety, ergonomic solutions, and long-lasting, easy-to-clean equipment ensures you have the tools you need to deliver high-quality meat products.
