The Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA) announced the list of manufacturers who will be participating in the live automated beef patty production line that will be on display on the PROCESS EXPO 2019 show floor. PROCESS EXPO will take place October 8-11, 2019 at Chicago's McCormick Place and there will be live demonstrations of the beef patty line, three times daily to show attendees this automated process beginning with introduction of raw beef into the grinder, passing throw formation of the patties, interleaving and stacking of the patties, of the packages and flex loading into sealed packages of four patties commonly found in today's supermarkets.

Participating exhibitors in this line include:

• Eagle Product Inspection
• GEA
• Handtmann
• INTRAY
• Pacproinc (Packaging Progressions Inc)
• PRIMEdge

"We expect this line to be one of the most popular at this year's show given the consumer's familiarity with the product," said Jarrod McCarroll, Chairman of the Food Processing Suppliers Association (FPSA) and President of Weber Inc. "However, the typical consumer has no idea of the technical sophistication that goes into making a consistently high-quality product on a large scale. These demonstrations will give our attendees a glimpse into how this is done and likewise how this equipment can be applied for other products. One of the major benefits in the PROCESS EXPO Production Lines is that each manufacturer has technical experts present during the demonstrations and throughout the show to not only discuss the equipment on display but perhaps more importantly listen to the challenges our attendees are facing and how this equipment might help."
