Shredded meats – such as chicken, sun-dried beef, beef jerky, ribs, and cod – are widely used in various products, recipes, and dishes. To carry out this process, there are various types of equipment available on the market that claim to shred meat.
There is no doubt that these machines have their uses, but they are not true shredders. This is because these machines break down the fibers through a process of high pressure, rather than separating them. The etymology of shredded comes from the Latin desfium, where des indicates separation and fium indicates fibers.
Thus, by correctly separating the fibers from the proteins, the patented system of our Chicken and Meat Shredders from the DFC Line truly delivers true shredded meat.
Achieving true shredded meat means achieving the best possible shredded meat. Consequently, this offers several advantages that go beyond appearance:
1. Properly shredded meat occupies a larger volume: because the fibers are not compacted, the same volume of shredded meat will occupy a larger area/volume compared to “shredded” meat made in other machines. For example, when you order a pizza with pulled pork, you’ll get much more space filled with the same amount of product if the pulled pork was prepared correctly. This benefits not only the pizza consumer but also the producer.
2. Appropriate experience: when expecting to eat a pie with shredded chicken, the consumer expects that when they take a bite of this pie, they will bite into chicken that is separated into fibers, not mashed, compressed chicken. The customer expects to have the experience the dish promises.
3. Better visual experience: without a doubt, appearance has a direct impact on the customer’s experience and satisfaction. Chicken shredded correctly has a much greater visual appeal than shredded chicken that forms “lumps,” is compacted, and has a “doughy” appearance. This will help you sell your product and deliver a superior experience to your customer.
Above, we discussed specifically the advantages that shredded beef and chicken produced on our equipment offer; now we will address another major advantage of our DFC Line, which is continuous production.
1. Labor optimization: a single operator can shred hundreds of kilograms per hour with our equipment. This directly impacts the process’s profitability, which boils down to significant operational savings.
2. Standardization of results: we know that labor is one of the biggest challenges business owners face, especially in the food industry, where turnover is very high. Thus, with this high volume, it is difficult to standardize the final result of the preparations. With our DFC Line Shredders, the final shredded result is standardized, as it is a simple process: after cooking as directed, simply place the meat or chicken into our equipment, and shredding is done instantly.
