Boosting Efficiency with AES Food Equipment

When running an efficient commercial food production operation, having the right equipment, whether it’s an abattoir or meat production plant, is key to the success of your business. Food equipment from AES can significantly boost productivity, improve quality, and reduce costs. Here are some ways to enhance efficiency with strategic investments in food equipment.

Leverage Technology 

Today's food equipment incorporates helpful technological advances to streamline work and improve results. For example, utensil washers can speed up clean-up operations, and wash guns make it easier to clean large equipment and food preparation areas. 

Boosting efficiency with AES Food Equipment is a smart investment that will speed up production times and reduce your business’s overheads. 

Investing in the right processing equipment is critical for achieving high productivity and quality results. Machinery designed specifically for tasks like sausage making streamlines production and minimises labour costs.

Sausage stuffers, for example, quickly fill casings to produce sausages with uniform sizing and shape. Fast-moving stainless steel horns can fill hundreds of links per minute, while piston stuffers provide slower, high-volume stuffing. Automated clipping machines then twist and clip the ends simultaneously for faster production than hand tying.

Vacuum sealers are an essential for securing and protecting sausage links. They remove oxygen and seal in flavour, extending shelf life. High-powered models are fast and consistent for maximum efficiency.

Massagers mix and bind meat mixtures thoroughly to create the proper emulsion. Blenders prepare consistent spice mixes and fillings. 

Streamline Workflow

In high-volume food manufacturing operations like abattoirs and meat processing plants, an efficient production workflow is essential. Thoughtful facility design and strategic equipment additions can significantly streamline processes.

It starts with an assembly line layout that seamlessly moves products from station to station. Well-planned traffic flow prevents bottlenecks and eliminates unnecessary motion. Equipment is strategically placed to transition products from one processing stage to the next.

Modular abattoir units improve productivity, and conveyor systems smoothly transport products between work areas.

Boosting capacity with equipment like tray sealers and additional packaging machines allows parallel workflows to boost volumes. 

Choose Versatile, Multi-Function Equipment

Opt for versatile food processing equipment that can serve multiple purposes. Combination mixer/grinders blend, emulsify, and prepare sausages and burgers. 

Rather than cluttering up a facility with single-use appliances, select flexible multitaskers. The right do-it-all food processing machine optimises both space and productivity. 

Prioritise Maintenance

Consistent maintenance keeps commercial food production plant equipment performing optimally. Regular upkeep like cleaning, calibration, and servicing extends equipment lifespans. It also prevents unexpected breakdowns that lead to costly downtime and lost productivity. Proper maintenance is essential for maximising the return on equipment investments.
