Bowl Cutters & Emulsifiers

A bowl cutter chops and mixes product in a rotating bowl. As the bowl turns, it carries the material again and again through a set of curved knives mounted on a shaft that spins at high speed. Knife speed, bowl speed and the number of bowl rotations decide the result, from a coarse chop with visible pieces of fat for salami to a smooth, stable emulsion for frankfurters and other cooked sausages. Ice or chilled water is often added to keep the batter cold while it is cut.

Overview

About bowl cutters & emulsifiers

Many bowl cutters can run under vacuum, which keeps air out of the batter and gives a denser product with fewer air bubbles. Table cutters with a small bowl suit butchers and product development kitchens, while larger floor-standing machines are loaded with a lifting device and emptied with an unloader.

An inline emulsifier does a similar job continuously: the product is drawn through a set of hole plates and cutting plates that reduce it to a fine emulsion, with no batch loading. Bowl cutters and emulsifiers are used to make cooked, smoked and dry sausages, pâtés, spreads and plant-based mixtures.
