High throughput – smallest footprint
The Formax® SX550 slicer, part of the proven SX series platform, features the largest slicing throat in its class. The machine can be configured for optimal performance based on specific product requirements, even for particularly demanding applications such as slicing bacon, pork belly, or raw ham. This new model is designed for high-performance. The slicer, with its robust and durable design, features a torsion-resistant frame to ensure precise alignment over the life of the slicer. It boasts a large slicing throat of 550 x 206 mm and achieves a maximum blade speed of 2000 RPM. Three product feed lengths, including an 800 mm option, reduce loading times to just a few seconds. The high performance slicer, has a very compact footprint to fit into plants with limited floor space.
Precision and perfection – down to the last slice
The Formax® SX550 slicer is defined by its precision and high performance. It slices products at top speed, delivering perfect results down to the last slice. The slicer achieves this premium quality due to its superior design, which features two independent product drives with both an upper and a lower feed. The feed belts extend all the way to the blade, ensuring precise control over the product right up to the final slice. The innovative blade design guarantees excellent cutting quality even at maximum speeds. High-quality blades, manufactured in Europe, are finely tuned for a precise slicing process that meets the specific requirements of European products. Due to various blade profile options and coatings, the machine is perfectly suited for slicing a wide range of applications. The wide slicing throat ensures optimal positioning of the products during slicing, which not only enhances the slicing process itself but also ensures a visually appealing presentation of each portion.
Open hygienic design for residue-free cleaning
The sophisticated, hygienic design of the Formax® SX550 slicer enhances product safety. The open construction, swivel-mounted control panel (HMI) and easily removable cartridges make all components highly accessible for the cleaning process. All parts, except for the blade, can be removed without the use of tools. This facilitates residue-free cleaning and reduces the time required for this process by up to 50%. The SX550’s motors are rated IP69K, making them suitable for high-pressure cleaning at elevated temperatures.
Future-proof – planning the production of tomorrow
The Formax® SX550 slicer impresses with its high throughput, strong capabilities and flexible design. From the outset, the machine can be precisely configured to meet individual needs, ensuring optimal performance for specific applications. The quick and easy execution of product changes ensures high flexibility and efficiency in operation. A key feature of the slicer is its ability to accommodate additional functionality after installation. This includes adding features such as extra scales or a second product drive to adapt to changing requirements. As a result, the Formax® SX550 slicer remains adaptable and powerful, regardless of how production needs evolve.
The Formax® SX550 slicer expands Provisur’s portfolio with a slicing solution that delivers maximum production and top-quality results in a compact footprint.
Bacon production line: Press to Slice at maximum speed
With its Press-to-Slice production line, Provisur has created a solution that is unmatched in speed and delivers exceptional results. The line consists of multiple high-performance modules that work in perfect harmony to maximize line efficiency. The centerpiece of the line is the Hoegger® X3 Form Press, which uses servo-hydraulic technology to press meat pieces into precise, uniform shapes. The Press-to-Slice module, which includes a 3D scanner and a weighing scale, transmits the product data to the Formax® SX550 slicer, which then produces accurate portion weights at top speed. This automated solution achieves a particularly high output, maximizes yield, and reduces giveaway through the seamless interaction of all components. The integration of multiple functions within the compact Press-to-Slice module makes it a significant space saver compared to other alternatives.
