Chateaubriand

Chateaubriand is a leading meat processing company known for its high-quality strip meat products. The company strives to constantly improve their production processes to increase quality and efficiency. They were looking for a solution to evenly season their bar meat while addressing issues such as choking and hygiene.

Challenge
Applying seasoning evenly to strips of meat was a time-consuming and challenging task for Chateaubriand . Previous methods, such as using rollers and brushes, often resulted in smearing of the product, which created inconsistencies and waste. In addition, existing systems were difficult to clean, making hygiene a concern.

Chateaubriand needed an advanced and versatile spreader that could evenly season their strips of meat while preventing smearing. The spreader had to be adaptable to different product sizes and easy to clean to meet strict hygiene requirements.

Solution
We developed an innovative machine that met the specific needs of Chateaubriand. The universal spreader was designed to efficiently and accurately apply seasonings to strips of meat while eliminating smearing and ensuring hygiene.

The spreader has some unique features:

  1. Height and width adjustability: The passage area at the front of the spreader is height adjustable, making it possible to create different spreading patterns depending on the product. In addition, the width of the container for the spreading material is adjustable, so that the spreading pattern can be adjusted to the specific product width.
  2. Mesh Strap: Under the spreader, the strip meat runs over a mesh strap. This allows excess sprinkle to fall through the mesh, preventing smearing and ensuring an even distribution of spices on the product.
  3. Dismountable design: The spreader is fully dismountable, meaning it can be easily taken apart for thorough cleaning. This ensures optimum hygiene and prevents cross-contamination between different production runs.

The implementation of Ordelmans 's universal spreader has brought significant benefits to Chateaubriand :

Improved product quality

Thanks to the precise and even distribution of spices on the strip meat, product quality and flavor consistency have been significantly improved. Customers can now enjoy an optimal taste experience with every piece of bar meat.

Increased production efficiency

The universal spreader has reduced production time and increased throughput. The streamlined design and adaptability enable Chateaubriand to work more efficiently and produce more strip meat products.

Better hygiene and ease of cleaning

The dismountable design of the spreader allows for thorough cleaning, which is essential for food safety and hygiene standards. It also prevents cross-contamination between different product batches.
