Preview of CFS Performance Premieres at IFFA 2010 Packaging and Slicing The CFS PowerPak ST has joined the PowerPak thermoformer family to serve businesses working with smaller volumes and batches. At just 3.8 m long, it is ideal for where space is limited, yet it still delivers fully automated deep-draw packaging with high-end features. The CFS RobotLoader on the stand features one robot station and is integrated onto a CFS PowerPak NT thermoformer, which also features quite a number of performance enhancements. Very space efficient, it enables full automation when handling products like sliced portions, fresh meat or product pieces such as sausages, schnitzels and nuggets. The new CFS MegaSlicer generation is shown for the first time with the CFS OptiScan, an x-ray based system that increases yield when slicing products like hams and bacon that have an irregular shape and varying product density. Thanks to the data the OptiScan provides, costly giveaway is significantly reduced accompanied by high proportion of on-weight portions. The CFS MegaSlicer now also has the innovative Idle-cut rotor system developed for the CFS GigaSlicer, which improves slice consistency and reduces sliver slices.
Preparation, Marination and Processing For preparation and (further) processing, CFS has two major premieres on the stand, one that sets new standards for grinding fresh and frozen meat, and another for extremely high performance in-line cooking. The marination activity is represented by a CFS AccuJector brine injector coupled to the yield-enhancing CFS SuperChill brine cooler that adds an extra dimension of process control. Although not on the stand, the company is also launching its CFS ColdSteam defrosting solution that not only dramatically reduces defrosting time, but also eliminates drip loss (purge) and can even eliminate the need for costly N2 or CO2 cooling in some applications. A CFS CutMaster bowl cutter rounds off the displays, and this machine has been enhanced with new control software and a touch-screen panel.
