Meat Science Pilot Plant

Applied research projects are focused on the case of meat product formulation and fabrication. This is because the meat science and technology pilot plant contains on more than 2000 sq.ft all equipment required to produce and characterize meats and meat products including automated mixers and continuous high shear grinding systems. This allows the Department to focus on the emerging needs of the meat industry to increasingly design and build continuous production lines that can be used to produce yield high quantities of high quality meat products. To facilitate a closer connection with the industry, a remodeling of the entrance section has been done and an EU hygiene regulation approval has been gained by the beginning of 2011. Products can now easily be transferred to the industry and the public.
