Find out why, how, and the advantages of waterjet cutting food in processing facilities, including cutting fish, chicken, meats, a variety of produce, and baking goods.
For decades,
improved technology has revolutionized the uses of waterjet food cutting machines for slitting fish, meat, chicken, cutting celery, lettuce, asparagus, cakes, petit fours, ice cream, and frozen items.
Operating with KMT waterjet pumps at ultrahigh-pressures from 55,000psi up to 90,000psi, with multiple cutting nozzles, pure water cutting ensures a sanitary environment without the risk of cross-contamination, making it an ideal solution for various food processing needs.
Advantages of Waterjet Cutting over Mechanical Blades:
Food Safety: Reduced particulates on blades and minimal product buildup in system mechanisms ensure a hygienic cutting process, eliminating the need for frequent maintenance cleaning and blade replacement.
Performance: Waterjet cutting from KMT OEM global integrators allows for versatile cutting options, leading to higher throughput, improved yield, and reduced labor costs.
Minimal Kerf:
The KMT Foodgrade Diamond Orifice water jet stream is about the size of a human hair strand (.005 orifice), preserving the delicate texture and integrity of fish fillets and protein products.
Precise Portion Control: For consistent sizing of food cuts and enhancing presentation.
Customized Shapes: Create customized shapes and designs for baking goods, enhancing product aesthetics and appeal.
No Heat Generation: The water is a cool temperature, and does not generate heat, preserving the freshness and quality of baking goods, produce, and fruits during the cutting process.
Enhanced Productivity: Improve productivity in food processing operations, allowing for faster throughput and greater efficiency compared to blade-cutting methods.
Since waterjet machining is a pure water-cutting process, it is ideal for Industrial Food Processing applications where blades can contaminate product and require sharpening.
Use waterjet tables for intricate cake shapes, or a conveyor with multi head cross-cutting for portion control, less waste and maximum produce yield.
VERSATILITY OF CUTTING FOOD PRODUCTS
KMT OEM integrators manufacture dual head cutters, robotic water jet trimming cells, multi-head slitting conveyor systems with cross-cutting capabilities, and fish pin-boning vision processing for dramatically higher yields.
HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY WITH AUTOMATED WATERJET SYSTEMS
Multi-head waterjet systems are well-suited for produce food cutting, especially where portion size and higher throughput with less labor is required.
INTRICATE SHAPES, EVEN LAYERED CAKES
Waterjet can cut details in cakes that no other cutting tool can and there is no knife blade to sharpen or clean.
Fewer spares costs, labor and maintenance.
WATERJET IS A CLEAN CUTTING PROCESS
Pure water cutting is an ideal sanitary and efficient process for most foods.
KMT pumps can be verified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as certified equipment as an option.
No blades = No metal-detection equipment required.
