Italian beef processing company – Ready for the future, today.
đź“Ś Objective: Support production expansion and reduce labor
A leading Italian company specializing in beef processing—from fresh cuts to portioned products—faced the need to modernize its packaging system. The growth plan included entering new markets, increasing production capacity, enhancing product shelf-appeal at retail, and cutting labor requirements amid a shortage of skilled meat-processing staff.
The previous system, based on double-chamber machines and a manual shrink-tunnel bath, could no longer support the required volumes nor meet the aesthetic and quality standards expected by international buyers.
🚧 Challenges to Address: More performance, fewer resources
The company sought an advanced packaging line capable of:
- Automating the production flow to reduce manual workload.
- Minimizing the number of operators involved.
- Boosting productivity without expanding the footprint.
- Elevating the product’s final appearance to attract modern retailers.
- Extending shelf life to optimize logistics timing.
- Standardizing packaging with utmost precision.
- Enabling future automation steps to remove growth constraints.
All while ensuring energy efficiency, cost containment, and hygienic-sanitary compliance.
⚙️ Solution Adopted: A High-Performance Integrated Line
They selected a complete BMB modular line, engineered to adapt to increasing production loads and high quality standards:
🔸 Conveyor Pro
A high-precision belt system that guarantees uniform sealing and impeccable product presentation. It reduces waste and enhances packaging consistency.
🔸 Remote Monitoring
Online connectivity for real-time monitoring and diagnostics. The line manager and technical support can intervene remotely and promptly.
🔸 RT Tunnel
An energy-saving shrink tunnel: insulated, efficient, and safer than immersion tanks. It lowers thermal consumption and ensures process stability.
🔸 Additional Vacuum Pumps
A power reserve that achieves the desired vacuum faster, increasing throughput without future plant modifications.
âś… Results: More Competitiveness, Fewer Constraints
With this solution, the Italian red-meat producer now operates a line ready to meet market challenges:
- Consistent, repeatable quality
- Higher internal efficiency
- Lower processing costs
- Enhanced food safety through reduced product handling
