PROCESSING TECHNOLOGY
BENEFITS OF AUTOMATION
Provisur has been offering fully automated processing
lines since the beginning and offers
systems in some of the largest food processing
plants in the world - something that was much
needed these past few years.
" We were able to react quickly to these customers
and offer a solution that we had proven
worked, " Braunreiter said. " The major benefits
of an automated line is the reduction of labor
force that is required to run a line as sophisticated
electrical controls allow communication
between all the equipment and removes
the need for human interaction. This means
you do not need people to start and stop all
the machines and move the meat carts from
machine to machine. "
After all, when a company can eliminate the
need for the meat carts, they can eliminate the
space the carts occupy as well as the labor force
and time needed to keep the carts clean.
" Safety is another major benefit to this technology, "
Braunreiter said. " The less people working
on the production floor pushing carts around,
the less chance for injury. All guarding and safety
mechanisms that are in place on the equipment
can be monitored on the screens of the central
electrical system. This means less downtime and
a guarantee that the equipment will not run if all
safety mechanisms are not in place. "
MAKING A CHANGE
Not every company is going to want to upgrade
their mixing and grinding tech regularly, but
those that have not yet embraced automation risk
quickly falling behind.
product appearance. Additionally, production
parameters are all digitally stored in memory for
more certain process reliability and more consistent
product quality.

" Just like everything in this world, technology
is always changing and getting more sophisticated
with the goal of making our lives easier, "
Braunreiter said. " We have to have that same
mindset when it comes to our grinding and mixing
products as well.
" While it may not be something that is changing
as constant as other technology industries
or products, we still have to always be pushing
towards offering the latest and greatest technology
as it becomes available. "
