    摘要: A method and apparatus for reducing pathogens in successive pre-measured units of a flowable food product without substantially increasing the head height requirement of a feed production system. A plurality of containers are moved about a path within a housing. The path has a plurality of stations, such as a receiving station, one or more sanitizing stations, and a dispensing station, and a container cleaning station. A pre-measured unit of the flowable food product is received at the receiving station into a container. The pre-measured unit of the flowable food product is exposed to one or more sanitizing agents at one or more sanitizing stations. The pre-measured unit of the flowable food product is dispensed into the packaging device at the dispensing station. The containers are then cleaned at the container cleaning station to prepare each container to receive a subsequent pre-quantified unit of the flowable feed product.

    摘要: A process for dry aging meat uses an enclosed, atmosphere controlled room with forced circulation and ultra-violet lighting, containing an anti-microbial meat aging rack with a salt brick stack covering one wall. Humidity is controlled to maintain between approximately 60 and approximately 65%. Temperature is controlled to maintain between approximately 32 degrees Fahrenheit and approximately 33 degrees Fahrenheit. UV lighting, some of which produces ozone, controls odors and sanitary conditions for the dry aging process.

    摘要: An apparatus and method for making meat jerky in the form of a thin-walled tube uses a food extruder extruding a meat mixture through a tubular opening die and coating the meat mixture with a solution of calcium chloride to firm the meat mixture in the tubular form without collapsing. The present invention provides a reproducible process for creating meat jerky tubes with consistent length, width, and size portion.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an air-drying plant for air drying cut-up food. The proposed plant consists of a conveyor (10) for cut-up food (1) defining a conveying surface (11), a plurality of blowing conduits (20) with blowing openings (21) channeling a treated airflow at a speed of treatment with a controlled temperature comprised between 4° C. and 60° C. and a controlled humidity; wherein the conveyor includes air treatment segments (12) with conveying surfaces (11) facing and adjacent to said blowing openings (21), said treated airflow being channeled against said conveying surface (11) in an upward or downward direction; and wherein the conveyor (10) also includes idle segments (13) intercalated between said air treatment segments (12), the conveying surface (11) of which is not facing the blowing openings (21), nor is it subjected to an airflow.
