METHENA’s Meat Chopping Machine Solution helps Spanish hamburger restaurants achieve efficient meat processing with its large capacity, high output and easy cleaning.

Customer Background：

In early January 2025, Qrd, the purchasing manager of Qrd Burgers, a well-known Spanish hamburger chain, contacted METHENA, hoping to upgrade the minced meat production line in its central kitchen. As an important market for European fast food culture, Spain's annual consumption of hamburgers continues to grow, and local catering companies have higher requirements for the efficiency and quality of meat processing. The reason why METHENA was found to make the Meat Chopping Machine Solution for them is to meet the strict standards for efficient processing of frozen and fresh meat, meat homogeneity and hygiene compliance in large-scale production. The original minced meat equipment was inefficient and could not meet the peak production needs. It was also time-consuming to clean and maintain, affecting the overall operational efficiency. It just so happened that they also wanted to reduce labor costs by upgrading equipment.

Customer Needs:

●Increase production capacity: A single device needs to achieve a mincing efficiency of 4000kg per hour to ensure that it can support large-scale production

●Fine meat texture: Ensure that the meat texture is fine and presents a minced effect, and there should be no granularity. It must be suitable for making hamburger patties.

●Multi-raw material adaptation: It can be compatible with various types of ingredients, such as frozen meat and fresh meat, in order to reduce our pre-processing time

●Hygiene compliance: The material and structural design of the meat grinder comply with the EU CE certification and are easy to deep clean.

●Ease of operation: Reduce the dependence on the professional skills of the operator, the interface is friendly, and one-button start reduces the risk of misoperation.

●Convenience of cleaning: Supports quick disassembly and cleaning, and a single cleaning takes ≤30 minutes to avoid cross contamination and meet the hygiene requirements in high-frequency production. Long-term stable operation reduces energy consumption costs.

Meat Chopping Machine Solution：

In response to the needs of Qrd Burgers, METHENA provides a complete solution for industrial-grade minced meat production line:

● Capacity upgrade: 37KW high-power motor is used, which can cut meat quickly/efficiently, support continuous and uninterrupted work without jamming. The processing speed of high-power motor combination can reach 4500kg/h (12% higher than customer expectations)

● Fine minced meat: Professional meat filling processing, multi-hole plate selection, precise control of meat particle size, to ensure that the meat material is ultra-fine and will not affect the taste.

● Frozen and fresh dual-purpose: multi-functional meat material is applicable, and the equipped blade can mince frozen meat and fresh meat, saving time and effort, reducing the minced meat temperature, and helping to preserve freshness.

● Hygienic design: The equipment material is in line with international hygiene EU standards, simple to operate, easy to disassemble and assemble, and easy to clean.

● Modular design: Reduce operating costs, key components such as bearing seats and seals adopt standardized module design, and the replacement time is ≤15 minutes.
