Ross TC810 Tenderizer
Ideal for both boneless and bone-in tenderization, the TC810 promotes consumer satisfaction by allowing processors to produce and upgrade meat cuts with guaranteed tenderness.
Key Features
- Stainless steel blades produce 32 incisions per square inch (unique “T-shape” pattern) to sever sinew, connective tissue, and muscle fiber
- Blades are positioned in magnetic carriers, retracting when they encounter bones or frozen areas
- Adjustable tenderizer head clearance for tenderizing all primals of all sizes
- Independent belt and head drives allow pass-through or conveyor-only mode allowing it to stay in line when not needed
- No Meat/No Tenderize feature disengages the head when no product is detected, reducing wear and tear
- Discharge conveyor allows true “Inline” operation.
Product Overview
Tenderizing is a critical processing step that has multiple benefits. It allows processors to convert less tender cuts of meat into cuts with increased palatability to the consumer. In addition, it enables processors to produce and upgrade lean meat cuts with guaranteed tenderness. Blind consumer testing shows that blade-tenderized meats are largely preferred over similar cuts that have not undergone the same process. Further, tenderization makes healthier, leaner cuts more palatable because the natural fat content of most rounds is about 5% compared with 18—20% for middle meats.
Optional Intervention Applicator
The TC 810 includes the option to add an intervention applicator to the machine. Ross intervention systems give processors a proven edge: safer product, lower operating costs, and confident compliance without slowing production. Our engineered applicators deliver validated antimicrobial performance with optimized 360° coverage and precise mixing, so you use less chemistry while achieving >99% pathogen reduction.
