Flattening Technology

DJM has developed a program of flattening belt machines that are available in different widths and are made up of two motor driven conveyor belts that are positioned at an (adjustable) angle to each other. A precise synchronous belt movement then ensures precisely formed flat products. These machines are widely used for processing different product mixes based on meat, fish or Plant Based Protein. A popular application is the processing of balls or disks into perfectly portioned and shaped burgers.

DJM flattening belt machines are powered by energy efficient drum motors, whose speed can be precisely adjusted by hand. The flattening conveyor belt technology is the ideal next step after forming in which homogeneous or filled products are required as the final product. By processing the products with profile rollers prior to the flattening phase, a unique surface pattern can be created, which makes products look even more attractive in the packaging. DJM’s flattening technology is suitable for meat, fish and chicken products, hamburgers, stuffed cheese products, stuffed meat disks, etcetera.

Flattening conveyor

Two digitally speed controlled conveyor belts (400, 600 or 1000 mm width) of the DJM-flattening units are positioned at an (adjustable) angle, while their speed is automatically synchronized with a Co-extrusion- or forming machine. This results in perfectly shaped flat products with very low thickness tolerances. Suitable for meat, fish and chicken products, hamburgers, stuffed cheese products, stuffed meat disks, Cordon Bleu’s or the famous German Frikadeller.
