To capitalize on the increasing demand for raw bacon used in the food service and retail industries, meat processors are increasingly turning to high-speed packaging solutions that include dedicated interleavers and card dispensers that maximize throughput. By including automated stacking, the equipment also eliminates unnecessary labor costs while reducing the risk for injuries caused by repetitive motion.
Interleavers are automated, high-speed machines designed to dispense sheets of paper, film or cardstock under, between or around meat, cheese and other products for portion control, inventory control and more sanitary handling. This includes greaseproof paper, parchment paper, plastic film or bacon boards added after slicing and before final packaging.
