Advanced Meat Processing Technologies


Townsend  helps meat processors become more efficient, more productive and more profitable, with innovative and reliable technology that does what we say it will do every time you use it. We invent better ways to automate Coextrusion, Skinning, Trimming, Linking, Meat Harvesting and Curing/Marinating.

QX- Quality CoExtrusion

The Townsend QX Coextrusion is an automated process that simultaneously extrudes a continuous flow of meat batter and a thin outside layer of gel, making the casing as the sausage is produced

 

Meat Harvesting

Meat Harvesting is one of Townsend's advanced  technologies. It comprises a group of machines that allow processors to recover tissue left on the bone following manual deboning. The result of this recovery is well-structured, high-quality meat and protein that makes a major contribution to processor profitability.

Skinning

Townsend invented the automated skinning machine in 1946. Many have tried to duplicate its success, but Townsend remains the leader through technological advancements that keep us on the "Cutting Edge".

 

Curing & Marinating

At Townsend, nothing remains the same very long. That is particularly true for the injector market. First came the low-pressure injector, with small-diameter hypodermic-style needles. Evolution took us to the 1450 Injector, an industry standard.  The introduction of the PI Series of injectors has continued Townsend's tradition of innovative, reliable injecting solutions.

Trimming

Leave it to Townsend to come up with the first real trimming breakthough in many years!  Light sensor probe technology boosts yields by at least 0.1 percent back-to-carcass weight and reduces blade costs by up to 75 percent.

 

Loading

The logical extension of high-speed linking technology is high volume loading, with special attention given to product integrity, product dimension, sanitation and user friendly operation.  The Townsend solution is both innovative and remarkable--a loader that fulfills the need for speed and then some, while it closes the gap between processor and customer.

Sausage Making

The Automatic Sausage Linker may have been one of Ray Townsend’s most significant inventions. Over the years, they have become more and more sophisticated, and their success has spawned a market for peripheral equipment like peelers, stuffers, link separators and liquid smoke applicators.
