Protein
Lines and complete cutting rooms for meat and protein processing
Stumaco brings its experience from potato and vegetable processing to industrial meat processing. We design, build and install conveyor and cutting belts, inspection and metal detection belts and complete cutting rooms, and connect standard machines for trimming, cutting and sawing to them. For lines with optical sorters, freezing tunnels and multihead weighers, we take on full coordination as integrator. You have one point of contact, from the first design to service after handover.
We fit out complete cutting rooms, with kilometres of belt that work hygienically and keep running day and night.

Solutions for every protein product
Your challenge, our solution
Food-safe production, at every step
A cutting room with dozens of workstations, a line that has to connect seamlessly to trimming, cutting and packaging, and hygiene requirements that leave no room for compromise. Stumaco designs, builds and installs the complete layout.
- Complete cutting rooms: infeed, cutting and discharge belts, designed around your workstations and product flow
- Integration: we connect standard machines for trimming, cutting, sawing and mincing to the rest of your line
- Food safety: inspection and metal detection belts and open constructions that are easy to check
- Hygiene: easy-to-clean stainless steel constructions, with ViwateQ surface treatment so fat and protein residue adhere less
