HE-25 Automatic Meat Slicer / Portion Cutter — Henger Global

PLC-Controlled Precision Slicing · 210 RPM Circular Blade · 1–30mm Adjustable · Step / Continuous / Portion Modes

Product Introduction

The Henger Global HE-25 Automatic Meat Slicer / Portion Cutter is a commercial-grade portioning system engineered for meat processing plants, central kitchens, prepared-food factories, and fresh-meat distribution centers. Powered by a 4 kW main motor with a 210 RPM circular cutting blade and controlled through an intuitive PLC touchscreen HMI, it delivers consistent, hygienic slicing across a full 1.0–30.0 mm thickness range (adjustable in 0.1 mm increments) for tempered meat, chilled meat, bacon, ham, cheese, fish, and more.

Three switchable feed modes (Step / Continuous / Portion) let one machine adapt to both precision small-batch cutting and high-throughput continuous production. An integrated 1290 × 290 mm outfeed conveyor with 1.3–16 m/min variable speed synchronises the HE-25 with downstream packaging equipment. Every wetted part is built from food-grade SUS304 stainless steel, and three interlocked safety guards provide operator protection to CE-level standards.

Core Advantages

Precision Slice Thickness Control: Slice thickness adjustable from 1.0 mm up to 30.0 mm in 0.1 mm increments via the PLC touchscreen. On-the-fly ±0.5 mm quick-adjust buttons let operators fine-tune slice thickness during production without stopping the machine.

Three Selectable Feed Modes: STEP mode delivers intermittent, precise feeding for small-format products; CONTINUOUS mode provides smooth high-speed pushing for large blocks and high-throughput lines; PORTION mode allows programmable 1-99 slices per portion with 1-10 s gripper pause, so portions land neatly grouped on the outfeed belt.

Smart PLC Touchscreen HMI: Multi-language touchscreen interface with gripper position memory (auto-return to setpoint after each cut cycle), real-time production counter with target quantity, variable outfeed belt speed 1.3-16 m/min, plus a device status monitor and alarm log for fast maintenance diagnosis.

Full SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction: Every wetted part is built from food-grade SUS304 stainless steel — corrosion-resistant, easy to clean, and fully compliant with food-processing hygiene standards. Oversized 680 × 250 × 190 mm infeed chute, adjustable levelling feet, and a waterproof emergency stop button are included as standard.

Three-Layer Interlocked Safety Guards: Infeed cover, cutting-chamber cover, and outfeed cover each carry a safety sensor; opening any guard stops the machine instantly. A green status indicator flashes when a guard is unlocked, and a daily start-up self-check routine verifies all three safety interlocks before production begins.

Wash-Down Friendly Hygienic Design: Blade, gripper, infeed chute, and outfeed conveyor components are tool-free removable for deep cleaning between shifts. Housing tolerates low-pressure wash-down (≤30 bar / ≤60 °C water, away from seals and control panel). Clearly labelled lubrication points speed up routine maintenance.

High-Capacity Outfeed Conveyor: Integrated 1290 × 290 mm outfeed belt with 1.3-16 m/min variable speed synchronises the HE-25 with downstream packaging, tray-forming, or interleaver equipment — keeping the whole slicing line continuous.

Tempered / Semi-Frozen Meat Capable: Designed to slice at -4 °C and above, the HE-25 handles tempered and partially frozen meat directly — no need to fully thaw product before slicing, which preserves juice, texture, and yield.

Working Principle

The HE-25 operates through a five-stage automated slicing cycle controlled by the PLC touchscreen. The machine consists of the SUS304 frame, servo-driven gripper, 210 RPM circular blade, PLC control system, and outfeed conveyor:

Loading: Tempered or chilled meat (at -4 °C or above) is placed into the 680 × 250 × 190 mm infeed chute, and the infeed safety guard is closed.

Program Setup: The operator sets slice thickness (1.0–30.0 mm) and selects the feed mode (STEP / CONTINUOUS / PORTION) on the PLC touchscreen. For portion mode, slices-per-portion (1-99) and pause interval (1-10 s) are also defined.

Servo-Driven Feeding: When production starts, the servo-driven gripper advances the meat block by the programmed pitch each cycle while the 210 RPM circular blade slices at the set thickness.

Outfeed Discharge: Sliced portions drop onto the 1290 × 290 mm outfeed conveyor running at 1.3-16 m/min, arranged either as a continuous ribbon or as neatly grouped portions ready for packaging or interleaving.

Monitoring & Safety: The PLC counts production in real time, remembers gripper position for the next batch, and instantly stops the machine if any of the three safety guards is opened.

Application Scenarios & Industry Cases

The HE-25 is applicable across meat processing and food manufacturing operations that require standardized portion slicing:

Meat Processing Plants & Cooked-Meat Factories: Portions primary cuts, cured meat, and cooked meat blocks into uniform slices for retail, foodservice, or further downstream processing.

Bacon & Ham Slicing Lines: Slices cured pork bellies and cooked ham blocks into consistent thickness slices for vacuum-packed retail packs or foodservice trays.

Central Kitchens & Ready-Meal Producers: Delivers repeatable portion counts and slice thicknesses for centralized meal preparation, ready-meal assembly, and chain-restaurant distribution.

Fresh-Meat Distribution Centers & Wholesalers: Converts primal cuts into slice-ready portions on demand — reducing back-of-house labor at retail and foodservice customers.

Hot-Pot / BBQ Meat Roll Producers: Slices tempered beef and mutton blocks into uniform thin slices (rolls) for hot-pot and Korean-BBQ retail packs.

Cheese, Fish & Frozen Protein Slicing: The -4 °C+ operating range and adjustable thickness make the HE-25 equally suited to cheese blocks and block-frozen fish fillets. Actual slicing result subject to trial cut.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What products can the HE-25 slice?

A: Fresh meat, chilled meat, tempered / partially frozen meat (-4 °C and above), bacon, cooked ham, cheese blocks, block-frozen fish, restructured meat blocks, and similar products. For unusual products, please send us a sample for a trial cut.

Q: How precise is the slice-thickness control?

A: Thickness is set on the PLC touchscreen from 1.0 to 30.0 mm in 0.1 mm increments. During production the operator can nudge thickness ±0.5 mm using quick-adjust buttons without stopping the machine.

Q: What is the difference between step, continuous, and portion mode?

A: STEP mode advances the meat block one increment per blade cycle — best for small products and high precision. CONTINUOUS mode pushes the block smoothly at high speed — best for large blocks and high throughput. PORTION mode groups slices into user-defined portions (1-99 slices) with a programmable 1-10 s pause between portions — best for pre-packaging.

Q: What safety features are included?

A: Three interlocked safety guards (infeed / cutting chamber / outfeed), each with a position sensor that stops the machine instantly if opened; a green status indicator light; a waterproof emergency stop button; and a daily start-up safety self-check routine.

Q: What power supply and footprint are required?

A: 380 V / 50 Hz / 3-phase power, roughly 5 kW total power draw. Machine footprint is 2280 × 980 × 1400 mm; leave approximately 800 mm clearance on each side for operator access and cleaning. Adjustable levelling feet allow installation on standard concrete floors.

Q: How is the machine cleaned?

A: Blade, gripper, infeed chute liners, and outfeed conveyor modules are tool-free removable for deep cleaning between shifts or product changeovers. The housing tolerates low-pressure wash-down (≤30 bar / ≤60 °C water), keeping water away from seals and the control panel.

Q: Can the machine be customised?

A: Yes. Blade specification, portion program presets, conveyor length, control-panel language, and voltage (e.g. 220 V / 415 V / 480 V, 50 or 60 Hz) can be customised to match your production line requirements.

Q: What is the warranty and after-sales support?

A: 12-month warranty on the whole machine (wear parts excluded). We provide remote video technical support, on-site commissioning and operator training (available for export projects), and long-term supply of original spare parts.
