Weber has optimally supplemented their own portfolio by now offering a solution for medium performance classes

The wePACK 4000 is the ideal choice especially for full-range product suppliers and food producers who tend to produce smaller batches. During the Anuga FoodTec, Weber presented the compact thermoformer in a configuration for packaging piece goods like meat balls, sausage rings, nuggets or fresh meat and poultry products. As usual in Weber packaging technology, servo technology is also used for the chain drive of the wePACK 4000. Moreover, the new Weber thermoformer is easily accessible increasing ease of service and maintenance work. A highlight in this regard is the quick change system for forming and sealing tools. The upper tool of the wePACK 4000 flips down in one easy motion, making accessing the lower tools is fast and simple.

The thermoformer is particularly suitable for MAP, vacuum, and standard skin applications. It can be used with all types of both rigid and flexible film, which makes the wePACK 4000 an investment that makes sense.

The wePACK 4000 can be fully integrated into Weber line solutions by using the control and operating technology common for all Weber machines.

The new performance slicer offers an unmatched variety of cutting, infeeding and portioning systems with a high performance of up to 1,850 cuts per minute. Top Highlight: Daily several live demonstrations on the booth!

This fact and a slicing shaft measuring 500 mm in width and 220 mm in height make the slicer perfect for a wide range of applications for caliber-consistent products, but even cheese, ham, bacon or special applications like whole muscle and quartering are precisely and efficiently sliced with the weSLICE 7500. Thanks to a new guide system in the infeed area and product guidance, tool changes when switching products are especially simple, safe, and quick. The large variety of product infeed systems is the only one of its kind in the market: Customers can choose between GripnGo, a lane-independent vario product infeed, or ContiFlow infeeding without reloading break, which was developed specifically for use with Flowpack packaging machines.

All systems guarantee that the product is treated extremely gently during the infeeding process while reloading times are very short. In combination with the available performance slicing systems, this guarantees maximum performance and lets operators perfectly configure the slicer for a wide variety of applications. Moreover, the vario technology of the weSLICE 7500, which enables lane-independent product infeeding, contributes to excellent yield with natural products like bacon. Optionally, the infeed module of the slicer can be equipped with a scale function. This lets operators capture the exact weight of all products fed into the line and even determine the line performance with regard to yield.

Intelligent complete line solutions from a single source.

From product preparation to tested primary packaging, Weber Food Technology offers a wide portfolio with complete solutions for the production and packaging of cold cut, snack & convenience and alternative meat products. Everything from one source, seamlessly integrated and intelligently networked. Through this unique initial situation, we are able to take the integration of slicers, automation, packaging and end-of-line equipment to a new level and avoid interfaces at the same time. We combine powerful line components into even more powerful complete line solutions. Boundaries between individual components disappear so that the complete slicing line merges into one unit. These system solutions always have a holistic approach and are adapted to your individual requirements.

Product preparation with form pressing represents a particularly critical process step, especially when it comes to natural products such as bacon, raw ham and fresh meat. Uniform and precisely formed natural products reduce waste during the slicing process significantly and therefore maximize yield.

In particular, products such as streaky bacon, back bacon, raw ham and fresh meat can be put in the perfect form with the wePRESS 5000. Thanks to the dynamic and fully electric, servo driven, multi-axis press technology, raw materials are formed in a way that is both gentle for protein fibers, yet powerful, to enable a consistent result. Product corners and edges are fully formed, while height grows in a controlled manner until the appropriate specifications are reached – creating perfectly formed products that lead to an outstanding slicing result in the next downstream procedure.

During the development of the wePRESS, Weber place particular attention to energy efficiency and sustainability. Flexibility, operating reliability and ergonomics are standard features of the Weber wePRESS.

Perfectly sliced, attractively packed

Whether you want to process meat, sausage, cheese or products made from alternative proteins: the Weber Slicer weSLICE 9500 is the perfect choice if you expect nothing less than ultimate slicing quality and slicing performance in the highest performance ranges.

The in-depth process and product know-how of our developers and application engineers has been included in every slicer component and every detail, from the infeed belt to the portioning unit. Thanks to the outstanding slicing technology and sophisticated product handling, even products with challenging properties and special textures (e.g. plant-based products) can be sliced precisely and presented attractively.
