When processing raw materials, the efficient separation of hard particles plays a crucial role in both product quality and yield. Within this process, there are various methods for removing bone, cartilage and other hard components, or for utilising them in a controlled manner.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether it involves precise deboning and trimming with an additional mechanical separation step, or the separation of hard particles during the mincing process using specialised separators: successful separation requires the right balance between maximum product quality and minimum yield loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this knowledge article, we examine the key separation processes during the mincing process and highlight the two decisive factors for an optimal result: minimal yield loss and maximum product quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Development of separation technology<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Separation technology has advanced significantly in recent years. Due to the growing demand for consistent <\/strong>and guaranteed <\/strong>quality, various systems and blade configurations have been designed to effectively separate hard particles from raw materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For existing separation units on the grinder or stopper, a wide range of blades and separation plates<\/strong> is now available to optimise the process. In addition, universal separation sets<\/strong> are available in various designs for machines without an integrated separator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An optimal separation result is determined not only by the choice of separation system and settings, but also by the correct cutting components in the grinder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of the correct knife arrangement<\/mark><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The correct blade configuration ensures optimal reduction of the raw materials<\/strong>. Cutting elements tailored to the processing temperature and the desired grain structure are essential for consistent dough preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, monitoring service life and wear<\/strong> ensures fewer unplanned downtimes, higher output and lower operating costs. In particular, choosing the right separation blades and plates<\/strong> has a direct impact on the efficiency of the separation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Separator sets in three versions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This set consists of an outlet pipe, integrated into the support cross, and an adjustment sleeve for manual adjustment. The setting is determined based on the operator\u2019s experience and judgement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
