Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document describes an innovative system for bacon processing, focusing on the combing and decombing of bacon bellies. This system enhances productivity and reduces labor requirements through automation and patented technology.

Combing and Loading
Bacon bellies are automatically transferred from injectors to the combing unit using conveyor belts. An operator uses a laser beam for precise positioning of the CT muscle, although this process is fully automated for trimmed bellies. The system minimizes labor by eliminating repetitive tasks, ensuring high productivity. Patented combing bars optimize handling, prong insertion, decombing, and washing operations. A TFRC Cartesian robot transfers combing bars with bellies onto trees, trucks, or racks. The system can load up to 8 combing bars per minute, with each bar holding 3 to 5 bellies, achieving a maximum productivity of 40 combed bellies per minute. The design is flexible, compact, and easily integrated into existing facilities.

Unloading and Decombing
The TFRC Cartesian robot unloads bars with frozen bellies from trees. A special pulling system extracts combing bars without stress, and bellies are automatically delivered to presses via conveyors. Empty bars are stored dynamically, then washed and reused. The decombing unit is also available for continuous systems and is internationally patented.

Advantages
  • Reduces employee injuries and physical disabilities
  • Decreases labor in combing, decombing, and washing areas
  • Reduces hourly labor turnover
  • Increases gains and improves consistency in combing/hanging
  • Eliminates overlaps, doggie ears, and CT muscle catching failures
  • Improves yields with less rework and more grade “A” products

Main Qualities
  • Compactness: Fits most existing bacon facilities
  • Modularity: Easily expandable as business grows
  • Adaptability: Self-adapts to different belly sizes
  • Reliability: Simple design ensures reliability
  • Flexibility of Design: Works within all existing processing operations

Combing Bars and Trees
Designed for lifetime use, these components eliminate breakage and replacement costs. Their special design facilitates easy washing with automatic systems, and trees are also suitable for manual loading.
