Behind the Scenes

Our Mince Line in Action

Take a look inside our mince production line—from whole cuts to portion-controlled, high-quality mince. Every step is carried out with precision, hygiene, and efficiency, ensuring consistency and safety in every batch we produce.

Preparing Raw Material for Mincing

A team member loads freshly trimmed pork into the hopper, ensuring the raw material is ready for the first stage of the mince line. Every batch is handled with care and precision to maintain hygiene and product quality from the very beginning.

Transferring Meat into the Machine

The pre-trimmed pork is lifted and fed into the machine. This automated stage ensures a continuous, hands-free process that maintains hygiene standards and prepares the meat for precise mincing.

Visual Inspection Before Mincing

Precision Grinding Begins

The raw pork enters the circular grinder, where it’s processed into a uniform mince. The machine ensures even texture, optimal fat distribution, and a clean cut—meeting strict product specifications for consistency and quality.

Minced Pork Ready for Packing

Fresh mince flows onto the conveyor belt, heading toward the packing line. This seamless handover ensures speed, hygiene, and minimal handling—preserving product quality all the way to final packaging.

Hygienic Packing for Transport

The finished mince is packed into lined transport boxes, ensuring safe handling and protection during storage and delivery. Each unit is weighed, sealed, and prepared for chilled or frozen distribution under strict hygiene standards.

Final Safety Check: Metal Detection

Each pack of mince passes through a metal detector to ensure product safety and compliance. This final quality control step is essential for food safety, protecting customers and meeting industry standards.
