Specifications
Advanced technologyTopCut VSH knife system
Versatile, Safe and Hygienic. That's what the pre-balanced TopCut knife system from GEA stands for. Various knife head configurations with different knife shapes and variable cutting speeds enables the perfect set up for every application. By reducing the weight of around 50% and implementing magnetic handling supports, the risk of injuries by the operator is tremendously reduced. Less loose parts make cleaning much easier and faster.
Optimal cutting area
The GEA CutMaster DUO has an optimized cutting area designed for raw sausage. The flat bowl with a bigger diameter and the use of two independent knife shaft drive systems enables fastest process times. Combined with the special knives for raw sausage, minimal mechanical stress of the product gets achieved. Generating as less heat as possible to avoid smearing on the one hand and achieve the required degree of fineness on the other hand - as fast as possible - is what the DUO is made for.
