Engineered Systems for Accurate Formulation, Throughput and Sanitation
Mepaco designs and integrates meat and poultry processing equipment that helps processors achieve consistent product quality, protect yield, and maintain sanitary, efficient operations. Our systems are engineered to support precise formulation, reliable production performance, and cleaning efficiency in demanding protein processing environments.
Equipment and Systems include:
- Grinding and blending systems
- Industrial Cookers / Thermal Processing
- Material Handling Systems
- Screw conveyors and elevators
- Sanitary Belt Conveyors
- Pumping and stuffing solutions
- Pump Feeders, Hoppers
- Integrated systems
Precision Formulation that Protects Yield
Maintaining target lean points is critical to profitability in meat and poultry processing. Even small formulation variances can result in significant lean giveaway when repeated across daily production. Mepaco formulation systems are engineered to reduce this risk through controlled material handling, load‑cell accuracy, and verified lean‑point measurement.
- Testing, Pre-Blend and In-Line FAT/Lean Analysis
- Automatic Vacuum Sampling
- Metal Detector and X-ray Integration
Sanitary Design that Improves Cleaning Efficiency
Mepaco meat and poultry equipment is designed with sanitation as a core engineering principle. Open‑frame construction, smooth welds, and accessible components support faster, more effective cleaning while reducing the risk of harborage points.
Our systems are engineered to:
- Support washdown‑intensive environments
- Minimize product buildup and cross‑contamination risk
- Reduce sanitation time between production runs
Sanitary designs are integrated across mixers, grinders, conveyors, pumping systems, and formulation equipment to help processors maintain food safety while maximizing uptime, and featuring:
- CIP-Assist and spray ball systems and integration with plant sanitation systems
- Electropolished food-contact surfaces
- Sanitary welds with tube or open-frame design to follow plant cleaning protocols
- Sanitation through validation support with riboflavin testing and Validation Lab service
Application-Led Engineering Support
Mepaco application specialists work closely with meat and poultry processors to evaluate formulation strategies, sanitation requirements, and production goals. This application‑driven approach ensures each system is engineered for real‑world operating conditions, not theoretical performance.
From initial concept through installation and long‑term support, Mepaco provides a single, accountable partner for processing equipment and systems, supporting:
- Collaborative engineering partnership
- 50 year legacy of meat processing knowledge
- Validation Lab service
- Single Partner Accountability
