The Presizer
To ensure a consistent input and product flow to the Hydrau Separator, the Presizer reduces any type of bones to a length of 15 cm (6") at a rate of 3,600 kg (8.000 pounds) per hour.
The Presizer has been designed with a minimum of moving parts to reduce maintenance and to optimize cleaning and hygiene. The principle of the Presizer is the utilization of hydraulic pressure against a moving wall, which in turn pushes the bones through a stainless steel grid. The presized bones are now in a format which is readily acceptable to the Hydrau Separator.

The Hydrau Separator
The principle of the Hydrau Separator system works on the basis of two different grades of solids in which bones are the harder grade, and meat is the softer grade.
The bones from the Presizer are introduced to the Hydrau Separator via its automatic feeding system. The system automatically loads batches of 20 kg (45 pounds) of bones into the pressing tube, at the end of which is the separation filter. This is sealed off by a counteram head, the counteram head contains a further conical filter to ensure separation of product at the center of the bone pad. The bones are pushed down the pressing tube by the pressing piston and into the separation chamber. When they reach the counteram head and filter, the bones are pressed at high pressure between the two opposed hydraulic cylinders. As the bones compress, the meat is pushed through the filters and away from the machine via the product outlet. The counteram then retracts and the pressing piston advances through the separation chamber to eject the bonepad. Our fastest machine's hourly throughput is 8000 lbs.
By virtue of this process, the bones are not crushed or severely broken, but in the majority remain intact, which avoids high calcium and iron contents in the final product. The few bone fragments and sinew that are in the meat product are removed by a second stage belt separator. Yield returns will of course vary boning standards, but the bones ejected from the system are reasonably clean from residual meat.

The Belt Separator
The product outlet from the Hydrau Separator is connected directly to the third and final part of the system, the Belt Separator. The new Hydrau Separator operates with new filters at lower pressures. The filters are designed to minimize temperature rise. The Belt Separator removes bone particles from the meat using the following principle. The meat and bone particles are fed between a bilt and drum. This drum has filter holes through which the meat is forced by the belt, leaving the bone particles on the surface. The bone particles are then removed by a knife. Because there are only a few bone particles to be removed, the belt tension and subsequent pressure on the meat is minimal. This results in minimal temperature rise and avoids structural damage to the meat.

Raw Material
The Hydrau System has been developed especially for red meat. The quality of the meat after processing is equal to the quality of the raw material. The Hydrau System offers high yields and excellent meat structure with minimal temperature rise.
