EKOMEX RBM 500
For the mechanical mincing of deep-frozen meat and hard, fibrous products
The EKOMEX RBM 500 frozen block shredder is a machine designed for the mechanical shredding of deep-frozen meat and hard, fibrous products in meat-processing plants. The machine was manufactured in 2018, has a 19-kW drive motor, a net weight of 1,600 kg, and is equipped with a complete safety interlock system. The minced raw material is fed directly into a stuffing cart, from where it can be transferred for further processing, e.g., to a grinder, cutter, or mixer.
How does the EKOMEX RBM 500 frozen block crusher work?
Frozen blocks of meat are fed into the loading hopper either manually or via a conveyor belt. Under their own weight, they fall into the processing chamber, where massive knives mounted on a grinding shaft—driven by a gear motor—grind the raw material into smaller pieces. The ground product falls directly into the stuffing cart positioned beneath the machine.
The machine is operated via a control panel featuring START, STOP, and RESET buttons, indicator lights for ready and not ready, a thermal protection alarm light, and an EMERGENCY STOP button. The machine operates only when the hinged guards are closed and the carriage is properly positioned, as both components are monitored by sensors and limit switches in the safety circuit.
Key Benefits of the EKOMEX RBM 500 Frozen Block Crusher
The machine allows you to grind blocks of deep-frozen meat without prior thawing and without manual cutting, which shortens the preparation time and reduces the amount of manual labor required. Its solid, stable construction, weighing 1,600 kg, ensures smooth operation even under heavy loads, and the direct discharge of raw materials into the stuffing cart simplifies logistics on the production line.
Comprehensive safety system—safety module, guard limit switches, carriage sensor, motor thermal protection, and emergency stop switch —protects the operator and the machine, while the construction, made of sheet metal, stainless steel components, and plastic parts in compliance with hygiene requirements for food-processing machinery, facilitates daily cleaning and disinfection. The machine has a CE Declaration of Conformity.
