Volantis meat/fish slicer (meat/fish special edition)

In seafood and meat processing lines, maintaining uniform slice shapes, minimizing waste, and ensuring high speed are always major challenges due to the soft, pliable, and tough texture of the raw materials. Specifically designed to address this problem, FAM Volantis (Meat/Fish) is a new generation V-belt slicing machine, offering the perfect slicing solution for long protein products and fillets.

1. Intelligent Operating Principle

V-shaped conveyor belt: The machine features a V-shaped feed conveyor belt up to 2 meters long. This length allows long-shaped fruits and vegetables to automatically align, perfectly positioned, and move at high speed towards the cutting disc without tilting or tipping over.

Transversal Cutting: As food passes the conveyor belt, it passes through a rotating wheel-shaped cutting disc at extremely high speed. The ultra-thin blades are stretched and curved at a uniform pitch from the center to the edge, maintaining the material’s speed without the need for a hold-down belt for most products.

2. Size and Capacity Handling Capabilities

Maximum Feed Size:

Hard, dense fruits and vegetables: Up to 115 mm in diameter (such as cucumbers, large carrots, zucchini).

Leafy or porous vegetables that can be pressed (such as iceberg lettuce, cabbage, rucola, oak lettuce): Feeding diameter up to 160 mm.

Meat/Fish Version: Processes sausages, cured meats (25-60 mm diameter) or meat fillets (up to 115 mm).

Impressive Productivity: Up to 6,000 kg (6 tons)/hour (depending on product type, cutting size, and material condition).

3. Diverse Cutting Shapes

By simply changing the cutting blade assembly, the FAM Volantis can create many attractive finished product formats:

Flat slice: Flat slices (uniform thickness).

Crinkle cut: Wavy slices (commonly used for pickled cucumbers, potato chips).

Julienne: Long julienne cuts (such as carrot or radish julienne for pickles).

Halving & Spears: Cut in half lengthwise or into wedges (cut into 4 or 6 pieces for duck feet, celery).

4. Outstanding Technological Advantages

Intuitive Touchscreen HMI: The machine is equipped with a compact yet intuitive touchscreen display. Operators can save a list of settings for each product type (e.g.,

3.5mm mode for cucumbers, 6.35mm wavy for carrots). The machine will automatically synchronize the conveyor belt speed and blade speed to achieve the most accurate thickness.

“Clean” cuts extend shelf life: Thanks to the ultra-sharp and thin Stumabo blades, the cuts on the food surface are incredibly smooth, without fraying, tearing, or crushing. This minimizes water loss, helping packaged vegetables (fresh-cut) retain their freshness for significantly longer.

Total Cost-Effective (TCO): Minimalist mechanical design reduces wear and tear. The feed conveyor is extremely easy to disassemble and replace. The fully open stainless steel design allows for quick high-pressure rinsing after each shift, ensuring the most stringent food industry standards.
