Efficient soft tissue separator

The STS is said to enable efficient separation of meat, poultry or fish bone fragments, tendons, cartilage and more, while preserving integrity and structure. It can also be used for the clean separation of components in products such as fruit and vegetables. In addition, it is suitable for depacking: when processing defective articles or those whose best-before date has passed, it cleanly separates product and packaging. It can help achieve higher product yields through the optimal coordination of all line components.

A flexible pressing belt conveys the product through the separator and presses it against a perforated drum. By means of adjustable mechanical pressure, the soft components pass through these holes, while hard parts, remain on the outside of the drum and are removed by a knife.
