Food cutting is a crucial step in the food and pharmaceutical industries, where precision, safety, and hygiene are top priorities. Technologies such as ultrasonic cutting and water jet cutting have emerged as ideal solutions to meet the specific demands of these sectors. At SwissKH, we leverage our expertise to provide customized solutions that ensure impeccable quality and comply with the strictest hygiene standards.
Ultrasonic Cutting: Precision and Cleanliness
Ultrasonic cutting uses high-frequency vibrations to cut food without applying physical pressure. This method is particularly suited for delicate or soft products, such as cakes and candies, which could deform under a conventional blade.
Advantages of Ultrasonic Cutting
- High precision: Clean and uniform cuts, even for delicate products.
- Residue-free cleanliness: Vibrations prevent food from sticking to the blade, reducing waste.
- Waste reduction: Consistent cutting preserves product integrity.
Disadvantages of Ultrasonic Cutting
- Limitations for very hard foods or those containing bones.
- High initial investment for specialized equipment.
With its numerous advantages, ultrasonic cutting is an essential solution for products requiring special care.
Water Jet Cutting: Flexibility and Versatility
Water jet cutting uses a high-pressure water stream to slice food without generating heat. This technology is particularly effective for a wide range of products, from vegetables to dense foods, while adhering to the strictest hygiene standards.
Advantages of Water Jet Cutting
- Versatility: Suitable for a wide variety of textures, from soft to dense products.
- Guaranteed hygiene: The absence of blade contact eliminates contamination risks.
- Complex precision: Ideal for intricate cuts with an ultra-fine water stream.
Disadvantages of Water Jet Cutting
- Moisture impact: May require additional drying of products.
- High water consumption: Can pose environmental challenges if not optimized.
Water jet cutting is particularly suited for environments that require stringent hygiene standards, such as the pharmaceutical industry.
Food Standards and Hygiene Requirements
Adherence to hygiene standards is critical in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Cutting equipment must:
- Facilitate cleaning and maintenance.
- Prevent cross-contamination.
- Comply with regulations such as ISO 22000 standards and HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) guidelines.
At SwissKH, our cutting solutions are designed to rigorously meet these requirements, providing reliable and secure equipment for our clients.
