Fully constructed with food-grade SUS304 stainless steel, this machine supports direct full-machine washdown to meet strict food sanitation standards for meat processing workshops. Powered by combined hydraulic and pneumatic systems, it features adjustable forming pressure from 5 to 14 MPa and delivers 5–6 pressing cycles per minute, compatible with slightly frozen meat at -3°C, chilled fresh meat, as well as marinated and brine-conditioned meat raw materials.
Adopting an innovative 3D simultaneous compression design from top, side and rear directions, it reshapes irregular meat blocks of various sizes into uniform meat blanks with consistent density and aligned meat fibers, drastically cutting slicing loss in subsequent procedures. Equipped with a pneumatic safety door and infrared induction protection sensors, the unit is fitted with well-known branded core components to ensure stable long-term operation. It can be seamlessly integrated into complete slaughter, cutting, freezing and packaging lines for beef, pork, lamb and poultry. Supplied directly from our factory, it supports customized molds and conveyor systems, along with on-site installation, commissioning and operator training services for global clients.
Product Introduction
The SD HENGER GROUP HE-3D Automatic Meat Pressing Machine is a specialized hydraulic compression system engineered for the 3D shaping of irregular meat blocks into uniform, fiber-aligned products — an essential link in modern meat processing lines from slaughter to finished portions. Designed for slightly frozen meat (approximately -3 degrees C), chilled fresh meat, and pickled or recuperated meat, the machine applies high-pressure molding from the upper, side, and rear directions to reshape raw meat into neat, compact forms ready for zero-loss slicing.
Constructed entirely from SUS304 food-grade stainless steel with a sanitary direct-washdown design, the HE-3D integrates a reliable hydraulic transmission system with automatic oil temperature control and pneumatic safe-door operation. Processing capacity reaches 5 to 6 cycles per minute, with adjustable working pressure from 5 to 14 MPa to accommodate different meat types and desired block densities. As part of SD HENGER GROUP's one-stop food processing solution, this machine integrates seamlessly with upstream slaughter lines and downstream slicing and packaging stations.
Core Advantages
• 3D Compression Molding: High-pressure shaping from the upper, side, and rear directions transforms irregular meat blocks into uniform, neat-surfaced products with consistent fiber structure.
• Zero-Loss Slicing Ready: The pressed meat block features uniform density and aligned fiber, enabling nearly loss-free slicing — a critical yield optimization step in meat processing facilities.
• SUS304 Full Stainless Steel Construction: The entire machine body is built from food-grade SUS304 stainless steel, meeting sanitary standards and supporting direct washdown.
• Hydraulic Transmission System: A reliable hydraulic drive with adjustable pressure (5-14 MPa) and automatic oil temperature control supports stable, repeatable operation.
• Pneumatic Safe-Door Operation: The front door is controlled by a pneumatic device with Dadisick infrared safety sensors, automatically opening upon detection of safe conditions.
• Wide Raw Material Range: Accepts meat sizes from 200 x 50 x 40 mm up to 600 x 330 x 180 mm, with an adjustable shaping range within 30 mm compression depth.
• Production-Line Integration: Delivers 5 to 6 cycles per minute, integrating smoothly into SD HENGER GROUP's complete slaughter-to-package processing lines.
• Branded Core Components: Equipped with CHANGLIN hydraulic station, BTEM motor, JUNTENG oil pump, CHINT electrical parts, and Dadisick safety sensors.

Working Principle
The HE-3D operates through a sequential compression cycle:
1. Loading: A slightly frozen meat block (approximately -3 degrees C) is placed on the conveyor and fed into the pressing chamber.
2. Safe Door Closure: The pneumatic safe door closes automatically, confirmed by infrared safety sensors before the cycle proceeds.
3. 3D Compression: The hydraulic system activates, applying adjustable pressure (5-14 MPa) from the upper, side, and rear directions simultaneously to reshape the irregular meat block.
4. Pressure Hold & Fiber Alignment: Controlled pressure duration allows the meat fibers to realign uniformly within the mold cavity, producing a neat, compact surface.
5. Mold Release: The hydraulic system retracts, and the compressed meat block is released from the mold.
6. Discharge: The finished, reshaped meat block exits the machine onto the output conveyor, ready for slicing or further processing — with uniform density enabling zero-loss slicing.
Application Scenarios & Industry Cases
The equipment is applicable across meat processing operations requiring uniform block forming for slicing:
• Beef Processing Lines: Presses irregular beef cuts into uniform blocks for consistent steak portion slicing downstream of the cattle slaughter line.
• Pork Processing Lines: Shapes pork loins, shoulders, and belly cuts into standardized blocks for bacon slicing or retail cuts, integrated with pig slaughter and cutting operations.
• Lamb Processing Lines: Compresses irregular lamb cuts into uniform forms for portion-controlled retail packaging, compatible with halal slaughter configurations.
• Poultry Processing Lines: Forms deboned chicken or turkey pieces into compact blocks for deli-style slicing, downstream of poultry slaughter and deboning stations.
• Marinated & Cured Meat: Shapes pickled or brine-injected meat products that have undergone recuperation into slice-ready blocks.
• Cold Storage & Export Packaging: Produces compressed, uniform blocks optimized for vacuum packaging and frozen storage, maximizing container utilization for export shipments.
