Challenge

Meeting growing demands

PRŠUTÉRIE® Chovaneček needed slicing machines capable of handling specialty sausage shapes with smaller diameters, integrated scales for precise dosing, and flexible handling for various sausage types in small batches. To support their growing production goals and maintain high standards, they plan to continue their partnership with Bizerba. This includes considering further investments, aiming to produce at least 50 tonnes of meat per month with the help of additional A660 machines.

Bizerba's solutions significantly improve our production process, allowing us to maintain high standards and meet growing demand.”

The VSI F T is a fully automatic vertical slicer designed for the precision and efficiency that are essential for their wide range of specialty products. It features customizable slicing programs and built-in portion scales for precise weight control. Its intuitive operation and easy maintenance help streamline production, maintaining high standards while increasing output.

High-speed industrial slicing
