Home / Case Study / A Meat Processing Plant in East Central Canada

Problem
- High rejection rate

- Underweight and burnt meat balls and meat patties from the production line
Objective
To maintain optimum temperature and moisture profile for improved productivity.
Solution
- Extensive audit of the processing plant’s systems

- Desuperheating system with variable nozzle desuperheater, control panel and temperature and pressure transmitters

- Controller programmed to adjust the amount of water based on incoming steam pressure
Benefit
- Steam temperature optimised to suit process requirements

- Weight of meat balls and patties regulated with adjustment of water injection

- Reduction in rejection rate due to charring

- Increased productivity
