SEPAmatic soft belt separators offer a low-pressure, high-yield separation technology that preserves product integrity across meats, poultry, fish, produce, and rework. A flexible soft belt feeds product into a perforated drum, where increasing pressure squeezes the soft material through the holes while scrapers discharge the hard materials. The result: a premium, granular, coarse‑mince consistency achieved without grating, grinding, or heating the product.
The key benefits of SEPAmatic separators include consistent mince quality, economic desinewing with low total cost of ownership, and easy sanitation. Built with stainless steel and high-quality thermoplastic, the machines feature ergonomic designs for straightforward loading and operation. Perforated drums can be changed in seconds to accommodate different products, and optional cooling systems help maintain product integrity during separation. Manual feeding is standard, but systems can be expanded for full automation to suit various production scales.
Applications
- Gentle product separation of meat, poultry, fish, and produce
- Separation of hard and soft materials (bones, sinew, gristle, skin, pits) from
saleable products - Product reclamation and rework
- De-packaging
Gentle handling that preserves product integrity
- Retains natural fiber structure for better texture, color, and mouthfeel
- Minimal product temperature increase vs bone cannon or honeycomb separation
- Optional patented SEPACooling system further minimizes temperature increase, less stress for the protein and lower growth of microbes
Simplified operation and maintenance for lower cost of ownership
- Simplified cleaning program that reduces downtime, with streamlined removal of belt and drum
- 10-15% longer belt life vs competitors on SEPAmatic 100 and 410
- Chainless design on larger models (SEPA 1800 and larger) eliminates annual replacement cost and simplifies cleaning
High throughput that easily integrates into your existing process
- Multiple feeding and dosing options available that are adaptable to your line configuration
- Quick changeover drums
- Multiple output options available
- Patented Speedmatic and FACONOP systems automatically synchronizes drum speed to product volume
