BAK Food Equipment has announced the availability of the Spiral Bacon Smokehouse, a groundbreaking automated production line from Protech. The Spiral Bacon Smokehouse is a solution for meat processors who want to take their bacon production capabilities to a high level of product quality, improve yields and optimize labor.
The system features a linear combination of integrated technologies that transform bacon from raw pork belly into a seasoned, cooked and smoked product — from start to finish. It delivers in-line injection, optional liquid smoke drenching, drying, natural smoking, and freezing of pork bellies that are ready to press and slice. Finished product is consistent and uniform because every piece enters and exits the oven in the same position and at the same temperature, which is monitored and controlled throughout the cooking, smoking and freezing process.
