The unique IBS 4600 - the most advanced bacon slicer of its kind in the world - is the result of substantial research and development and customer cooperation. The machine is designed to help processors meet the rapidly growing demand for pre-cooked bacon – an increasingly popular flavour enhancing ingredient for burgers, sandwiches, ready meals and other food service industry products.

 

It has easily loaded independent feeds, each with its own vision system that provides weight control of individual slices, regardless of belly or loin size. The system gathers vital data, allowing the processor to control the exact composition of each slice, resulting in controlled slices being conveyed at precisely the right speed to the microwave cooker for perfect cooking. This means the much sought after objective of producing controlled weight slices after cooking can be achieved.

The benefits are enormous. As well as routinely achieving high yields, end user appeal is enhanced because the product has an attractive, uniform appearance, feel, texture and quality.

 

Marel Sales Director, Martin Baldwin, confidently predicts IBS 4600 will achieve considerable success in the thriving precooked bacon processing market. “Having played a key role in its development our American customer quickly realised that this machine would boost his profitability and production efficiency. It's a ground breaking development born out of our unrivalled knowledge of high speed slicing in the retail bacon sector and, having applied that to the pre-cooked market, we are confident of achieving worldwide success and maintaining our leading position as a manufacturer of high speed slicing machines and systems.”

For reasons of commercial sensitivity the name of the customer cannot be disclosed for the time being.
