The ESM 5550/1 is the ideal solution for the manual derinding of round meat pieces, which can also be defatted in the same operation: The additional installation (without tools) of the twin blade-holder allows separation of skin from fat and fat from product, providing easy process and increased yield! When the twin blade-holder is not used, it can be stored in a special support on the back of the machine. Special work tables are available in order to simplify the handling of diverse round pieces of meat (ham, shoulder, hindquarter hock), for easy and power-saving derinding and defatting with excellent result.

Equipment & features

Operator-friendly machine structure

The ergonomic design of the machine’s side panels allows the operator to stand in the machine and over the product. He feels closer to it, for effortless derinding and good results.
The machine design allows the use of standard EII and EIII rind boxes.
The EII rind box can be removed from the machine‘s front and back. Thus flexible integration in processing lines.
Ergonomic foot pedal design (flat material), thus more comfort for the operator without marks left at the operator’s foot.

Optimized derinding / defatting process

The use of the twin blade-holder allows to remove not only the rind, but also the fat in any thickness (separation of skin from fat and fat from product) providing easy process and increased yield.
The fat and the rind leave the machine by separate ways and must not be sorted which saves labor.
Possibility of use of the ESM 5550/1 only for derinding (without defatting knife holder).

Special tooth-roller

The tooth shape and tooth sharpness allow an excellent derinding result, not only of fresh, but also of skin-dry rinds.

Quick and easy changeover to other meat cuts

Tool-free changeover of the machine to another product / meat cut.
The work tables can be exchanged and the defatting knife holder removed within a matter of seconds.
Thus high flexibility and versatile application, e.g. connection to shoulder and/or ham processing line

Standard work table round

Simplifies the handling and brings especially big and heavy hams and shoulders (without bones) in the optimum infeed position.

Height-adjustable outlet table

Allowing easy adaptation to the individual situation in the production plant.

Adjustment of rind thickness according to current safety regulations for derinding machines EN 12355

The adjustment of the rind thickness is done by hand lever on the machine’s side panel. It can be fixed by the operator either on the right or left machine panel, depending on the individual machine positioning in different lines.

Adjustable fat thickness

Infinitely variable adjustment of the fat thickness by two ergonomically formed hand levers allowing to adjust the defatting height at the left and right side according to the individual shape of the cut.

Short startup times

Work table, work table support and the ESM 4550/1’s defatting knife holder can be quickly removed for cleaning without tools.

Easy and safe handling of the derinding knife holder

No removal for cleaning and changing of derinding knife. It remains in the machine and is only put into cleaning position.
Advantage: The sensitive knife holder cannot be damaged by accident. Thus always good derinding quality, reduced maintenance costs and increased operational safety.

Fast and easy changing and adjustment of the derinding knife

Tool-free, by quick-locking device.

Cleaning-friendly hygienic machine design

All machine parts are made from food safe material.
Subframe without straight surfaces; with V-shaped drip edge.
Machine design without ground plate avoiding dirt accumulation on the machines bottom
