Increased production through greater efficiency

50–70 % reduction in manpower requirements

Concentrating on the essentials:
• The only manual task is the skewering of the meat –
  the machine manages everything else.
• The operator can work quickly using both
  hands.
• Employees can perform to a high standard
  due to the intensive production method.
• New employees are able to learn this simple
  task in a very short space of time.

60–70% less space required

Saving of space due to high performance
level per employee:
• With the GFW 3600 barbecue skewer production machine,
  7 employees can produce the same quantity as 16 to 20 employees
  working manually.
• Owing to the ergonomic machine design,
  the space required for operation is reduced.
• Consequently, the GFW 3600 barbecue skewer
  production machine can be set up virtually anywhere.

Areas of application

• Barbecue skewers with diameters
  ranging from 3 to 5 mm
  (replacement of tube-changing sockets)
• Barbecue skewers 175 to 350 mm in length
 (adjustment of skewer feed,
  winding units)
• Barbecue skewers with weights ranging from 20 to 120 g

Operation

The symmetrically constructed machine
comprises a skewer separator, meat
skewering section, initial-winding unit,
ejector, discharge unit and end-winding unit.
In the first section, the skewers are separated
and inserted into the skewer tubes.
In the second section, meat is skewered by 6
employees, 3 on each side of the machine:
A long strip is centrally folded, both ends are
skewered and the folded edge is then skewered
and positioned at the tip of the skewer – and that’s it for
the manual work! The initial-winding unit wraps
the skewer, the skewer is ejected on to the belt by the
ejector and, finally, the skewers reach a feed belt where
they are conveyed to a flour-dusting unit.
