LIMA has been developing, manufacturing and selling mechanical separation, deboning and grinding-desinewing solutions worldwide to the full satisfaction of its customers since 1981!
LIMA’s only dedication since its very beginning has always been developing and supplying the best solutions to separate the hard from the soft by a mechanical means for the food processing industry. The applications are numerous, such as producing the highest quality of mechanically separated meat (MSM) at very high optimal yield out of poultry, pork, lamb, beef bones, as well as recovering the best fish pulp out of fish central bones.
Also, over the years, LIMA has been at the forefront of the poultry industry, developing and delivering two-step LIMA separation lines.
In the first step, poultry carcasses, necks or other bones are mechanically deboned at low pressure enabling to produce very HIGH quality separated meat, in terms of Structure, Colour and a low Calcium content, less than 1 000 ppm. Such mechanically separated meat at low pressure is commonly referred to as “3 mm MSM” or “Structured meat” MSM with a texture closer to a ground meat than conventional MSM. For the second step of this separation line, a transfer pipe conveys the separated mix of bones with residual meat to a LIMA S meat-bone separator which recovers the last possible quantity of meat from the bones, producing a conventional but high quality mechanically separated meat (MSM) at very high optimal yield.
LIMA offers LIMA S meat-bone separators and LIMA DDS deboners-desinewers from 100 to
20 000 kg/h input capacity (220 to 44 000 lb/h).
LIMA has developed a new range of Grinders-Desinewers especially designed for poultry bone-out raw materials such as trimmings with or without wishbones, thigh, and drumstick deboned meat, as well as for chicken or turkey fillets.
The Grinder-Desinewer GD enables to add value to such meat cuts by processing them into a very high-quality ground and desinewed meat, ensuring the separation of hard parts, such as sinews, tendons, cartilage, bone chips, as well as plastic foreign bodies, at very high yield, from 80% to 98% while ensuring low Collagen/Protein ratios. The recovered meat is not MSM (Mechanically Separated Meat) but a true ground and desinewed meat obtained from bone-out raw materials.
This new range of Grinders-Desinewers GD enables to grind and desinew from 100 to 13 000 kg/h of raw material input.
LIMA also offers Grinders-Desinewers for red meat (beef and pork) providing the same technical advantages for the valorization of deboned shank meat, deboned shoulder meat, aponeurosis, and various trimmings.
