Fixed Diameter Meat Netting for Slicing Yield

Inconsistent product diameter can make slicing more difficult and contribute to uneven portions, trimming and processing inefficiency.

Scotnet has developed Fixed Diameter Netting to provide more consistent diameter control during meat processing. Unlike conventional elastic netting that relies primarily on inward elastic tension, this solution provides a defined diameter limit to support uniform cylindrical products.

The technology can be used for single-muscle and multi-muscle applications, including filling directly into netting or into netting and casing together.

• Support more consistent product diameter and slice presentation.
• Help processors optimise slicing and portion consistency.
• Support product formation using compatible filling or pressing equipment.

SCOTNET has developed an elastic net with fixed diameter control.

Conventional nets have always used a combination of rubber thickness and inserts to create the power (inward pressure).

With our Fixed Diameter Net, single and multi-muscle products can be over-stuffed slightly, giving cavity reduction by using the power of the press or stuffer.

As the size of the pieces reduces, a more casing-like diameter control can be achieved either by filling straight into the netting or into a net and casing together.
