GEA CutMaster V

Improve emulsion quality with vacuum bowl cutting

The GEA CutMaster V Gen 3 is a vacuum-sealed bowl cutter designed to cut, mix and emulsify a wide range of foods while removing air from the process. Processing under vacuum supports protein extraction, helps reduce jelly deposits, and can improve yield and shelf life. With high cutting speeds and flexible configurations, it supports applications from coarse chopping to very fine emulsions in meat, poultry, fish, and alternative proteins.

Improve product quality under vacuum

• Removes air to create denser, firmer emulsions and better visual appeal.
• Helps reduce jelly deposits and supports improved water binding.
• Enhances color, flavor and shelf life by minimizing air inclusion.

Increase throughput with high-speed emulsification

• TopCut VSH knife head reaches up to 162 m/s cutting speed (PLUS).
• Up to 95% bowl filling level supports higher productivity per batch.
• Flexible cutting area and knife configurations support coarse-to-fine processing.

Run hygienic, consistent batches with smart control

• 3-A certified hygienic design supports high sanitary requirements.
• CutControl Pro Touch enables recipe-based automation (up to 200 programs).
• InsightPartner monitors condition/performance (e.g., uptime, alarms, maintenance suggestions).
• Optional Gen3 cooking device can cut energy use - TÜV-validated Add Better label.

The GEA CutMaster V is perfect for a wide range of product applications, including course, to very fine sausage, fish, poultry, pork, beef, vegan, vegetarian and meat-replacement products, processed cheese, sauces and a variety of basic products used in the food processing industry. 

Advanced technology

The unique TopCut VSH (Versatile – Safe - Hygienic) knife system is designed to virtually eliminate vibration, and enable cutting speeds of up to 162 m/s. The new knife head also augments product  flow to reduce batch times. 

Versatile: A single set of knife discs and components is used for all possible knife head configurations. This means that you don’t need to change the number of knife discs when switching from one to two tracks, or vice versa. And with the option of different knife types for various cutting applications, the TopCut VSH Knife system is a true multi-tasker.
Safe: Fewer knife discs can also mean better operational safety, as there's less weight on the shaft, which reduces the rotational mass. The knife discs are clearly marked to avoid incorrect installation, which is a further aid to safety, and the knives are all interchangeable. Furthermore, the magnetic features of the knife discs ensure a safe handling for the operators.
Hygienic: The knife holder is integrated into the knife disc of the GEA TopCut VSH, which makes thorough cleaning easier, and further reduces the possibility of incorrect assembly.

The combination of a geometrical bowl design and large inlet area makes it possible to achieve a filling level of up to 95%, so you can maximize production during each batch. The large inlet area also means faster product infeed into the cutting area, and accommodates bigger product pieces. The 360° cutting area also helps to achieve optimum emulsification results. By using the so called 'baffle plate', the cutting area can be set up from wide to small to influence the throughput and determine the degree of fineness.

An optional extra, GEA’s new PerformancePlus predictive and preventative maintenance system uses advanced online condition monitoring to measure machine performance. With this information, food processors can plan maintenance schedules, reduce costs, improve machine uptime and maximize productivity.
