Soft Tissue Separator (STS) from PROVISUR® Technologies

Provisur Technologies stands for innovative technology and integrated production systems of various high-performance brands used in industrial food processing. The company presents the new Soft Tissue Separator (STS), a state-of-the-art belt separator. This efficient machine for reliable soft tissue separation of meat, poultry, fish and more can be optimally integrated with other food processing components from the Provisur portfolio.

 

Versatile use: meat, fish, fruit or vegetables

The new Soft Tissue Separator STS is available in four different sizes: STS 800, STS 1200, STS 2000 and STS 3000. It enables efficient separation of meat, poultry or fish bone fragments, tendons, cartilage and more, while preserving the integrity and structure of the food. It can also be used for the clean separation of components in products such as fruit and vegetables. In addition, it is suitable for depacking: when processing defective articles or those whose best-before date has passed, it cleanly separates product and packaging. The STS ensures high-quality end products and higher yields. This is achieved by a variety of innovative features and through the optimal coordination of all line components.

 

Reliable separation of tendons, cartilage and bone splinters

The STS features a robust construction made of high-quality components. A flexible pressing belt conveys the product through the separator and presses it against a perforated drum. By means of adjustable mechanical pressure, the soft components pass through these holes, while hard parts, e.g., bone splinters, fish bones, tendons, cartilage, etc., remain on the outside of the drum and are removed by a knife. Equipped with Frequency Control, an innovative control system, the STS regulates process speed and matches it perfectly to other upstream or downstream line components. The unit features a contemporary, hygienic design with an easily removable or replaceable belt, thus enabling quick and easy cleaning and maintenance. The STS can be used as a stand-alone machine or easily integrated into a line. With capacities ranging from 500 kg/h to 3.6 t/h, it is perfectly matched to other Provisur components or modules, such as the Bone Cannon.

 

Optimum recovery: three separation processes under one roof 

The STS completes Provisur’s range of separation technology. Provisur is the only supplier to offer customers all three separation processes – rotary, belt and press technology. This allows processors to choose a technology in line with their exact requirements – perfect texture and quality go hand in hand with the cost-efficient recovery of meat, poultry, fish and other raw materials (potatoes, fruit or vegetables). Highlighting the concept of system solutions from a single source, Provisur demonstrates its expertise in production lines with separators of different performance classes as well as upstream and downstream modules, such as the shredder or bone cannon.
