- BAADER 600 / 605 Separation Systems – recovery of valuable meat from trimmings and bones.
Poultry Processing Equipment
Comprehensive solutions for poultry slaughtering and further processing:
- Evisceration & Defeathering Systems – hygienic and efficient primary processing.
- Deboning & Cut-Up Lines – automated separation and portioning of poultry parts.
- Air Chilling Systems – controlled chilling to maintain product quality.
Refiners & Separation Technology
BAADER’s refining and separation systems are designed to efficiently separate soft components (meat, muscle tissue, pulp) from hard components (bones, skin, cartilage or connective tissue), while preserving product quality and maximising yield.
How BAADER separation systems work
Raw material is continuously fed into the refiner, where it is pressed against a perforated drum or screen using a controlled mechanical pressure system. Soft components are gently forced through the perforations, while harder components remain outside the drum and are discharged separately.
This separation principle is engineered to:
- minimise mechanical stress on the product
- limit temperature increase during processing
- preserve texture, colour and protein functionality
As a result, BAADER refiners are suitable not only for by-product recovery, but also for producing high-quality food ingredients for further processing.
BAADER Refiner Series
The BAADER Refiner Series (600 / 601 / 604 / 605 / 607 / 608) covers a wide range of capacities and applications. Depending on configuration, these machines are used for:
- fish frames and trimmings
- poultry bones and residual meat
- meat trimmings and soft tissue recovery
Interchangeable screen sizes and adjustable pressure settings allow precise control over particle size and output consistency.
BAADERING® Technology
BAADERING® is a proprietary separation concept that combines belt systems, pressing elements and perforated drums. Instead of applying high pressure, the system relies on controlled mechanical movement, resulting in:
- higher usable yield
- reduced bone and cartilage content
- improved sensory characteristics
- better functional behaviour in downstream processes
This technology is particularly suited for applications where the separated product is used directly in mince, emulsions or formed products.
Integration into production lines
BAADER refiners are designed for seamless integration into industrial processing environments. They can be installed:
- downstream of filleting or deboning machines
- as part of continuous fish or poultry processing lines
- as standalone recovery stations
Their hygienic design and CIP-compatible configurations support efficient cleaning and compliance with strict food safety standards.
Component Handling, Weighing & Grading
Machines that support continuous production flow and quality control:
- Weigh Transfer & Buffer Systems
- Automated Grading & Sorting Solutions
- Portioning and Weighing Systems
Digital & Process Control Solutions
Advanced tools for monitoring and optimising production performance:
- Production Monitoring & Yield Control Systems
- Integrated Digital Process Solutions supporting traceability and efficiency
