Bettcher
Bettcher will present tools for skinning and trimming, including the handheld Cyclone Skinner™, which reduces hand fatigue for greater productivity and easier working conditions. Attendees also will see the Quantum Flex TrimVac®, which combines cutting and vacuum to ease removal of specific risk materials in beef processing, and the robust, innovative Whizard Versa™ Trimmer, with an ergonomic TWIST-N-GO head, easy-to-maintain quick-change blade technology and a multi-speed option.
Frontmatec
Frontmatec designs and manufactures innovative automation solutions that maximize yield and product quality for the red meat processing industry, with advanced controls and software coupled with expert industry knowledge.
Frontmatec will showcase advanced robotic technology that combines vision systems and AI to optimize all processes, product quality and yield. Frontmatec also will present its ITEC professional and personal hygiene solutions, Accles & Shelvoke cartridge-powered captive bolt stunners, Asuan custom-made red meat processing plant equipment and machinery, and aftermarket service and support for former customers of BANSS custom slaughtering and meat processing systems.
Frontmatec also will present a comprehensive range of solutions to monitor and optimize every stage of the meat processing value chain, including advanced control systems, MES software and IT/OT security with seamless operation and real-time data acquisition. Additionally, Frontmatec will feature its carcass grading systems, including AutoFom and Q-FOM, for enhanced yields, product quality and operational efficiency. Integration with MES software leverages grading data to reduce waste, optimize workflows and boost profitability while it supports sustainability.
Frontmatec will join with two partners at IFFA 2025. The Danish Technological Institute’s Danish Meat Research Institute (DMRI) will present technological innovations for the international meat processing industry. The DMRI Predict tool uses advanced analytics to enhance food safety, and their AI and camera-based monitoring ensures smarter production. Völur, a leader in AI for sorting, scheduling and planning, also will be featured as part of Frontmatec’s commitment to drive innovation.
MHM Automation
MHM will demonstrate an Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) for material handling. In addition, MHM representatives will present use cases and innovations through VR and onscreen demonstrations. Products highlighted will include chilling and freezing tunnels, reverse packaging, Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS), palletizing and pallet handling with AMRs, along with additional material-handling and chilling/freezing systems.
KAIS
Kais is a leading developer of proprietary ERP, Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) Systems designed for the food industry.
Kais modular software solutions integrate seamlessly with existing production lines to ensure automatic order execution and provide users with powerful decision-making tools. Attendees will learn more about Kais’ innovative technologies for digitization and control.
LIMA
LIMA designs and manufactures meat-bone separators, deboners and grinders-desinewers.
LIMA will present its highest-capacity meat-bone separator. The RM 2000 S for the poultry industry produces high-quality mechanically separated meat, chicken or turkey at high yield with minimal temperature rise.
LIMA also will present the RM 700 DSPM deboner, specifically designed and built to process hard bones – such as from pork and lamb – and recover optimal yields of the highest quality mechanically deboned meat in terms of texture and color.
The LIMA RM 180 GDM Grinder-Desinewer will demonstrate LIMA’s unique 100% mechanical pressure regulated technology to grind poultry, beef and pork boneless meat cuts and trimmings while desinewing at extremely high yield. The RM180 GDM separates bone chips, cartilage and hard connective tissues to produce the best quality ground and desinewed meat: not mechanically separated but truly ground meat.
Nothum
Nothum specializes in industry-leading predust, batter, breading and frying equipment.
Nothum will showcase products including the versatile SuperFlex Homestyle Breading Machine, which handles various coatings in drum, flatbed, tripleflip and handtoss modes. Nothum also will demonstrate the BatterPro All-in-one Batter and Tempura Machine, which chills and mixes ingredients, and applies batter or tempura with controlled viscosity.
Attendees will see Nothum’s VersaCoat Flatbed Breading Machine with low-charge breading system, which reduces changeover and downtime with multiple coatings, and ProTherm Continuous Fryer, which maintains cleaner oil for consistent product quality while utilitizing 33% less oil usage. Nothum’s EzFlow Oil Filter, also slated for the show, removes sediments and reduces free-fatty acids from cooking oil with a safe low-pressure system. Additional demonstrations will include the Nothum Acufeeder, which automatically adds flour, crumbs, rubs or panko to any Nothum breading and batter machinery.
REICH
Germany’s oldest name in food thermoprocessing systems and a leading global provider in the industry, REICH offers solutions for smoking, cooking, baking, maturing and cooling of food categories including meat and sausage, fish, poultry, pet food, and even vegan and vegetarian products. REICH customizes its systems to meet specific production needs.
REICH will present cutting-edge processing solutions designed for maximum efficiency, flexibility, and adaptability, enabling food processors to stay ahead in a dynamic market. Specifically, REICH will present its cloud-based BlueConnect system, a remote real-time access to all relevant machine and production data to optimize equipment maintenance. The BlueConnect system minimizes downtime and boosts productivity with automatic updates, integrated predictive monitoring and intelligent machine connectivity.
REICH will also showcase its new Pasteurization System which enhances thermal food processing with precise temperature control through counter pressure for maximum product safety. Attendees will also see the next-generation FrictionSmoker with wear-resistant, vibration-reduced pressing system and optimized wood feed, enhanced smoke flavoring.
