At the Frankfurt trade fair IFFA on May 3-8, Nimo-KG will be focusing on handling meat trolleys, a central component in a large part of the food production industry, as well as an area of expertise for Nimo-KG since the 1960s.
Meat Trolley – The Backbone of Food Processing Efficiency
Meat trolleys play a critical role in modern food processing factories, helping ensure efficiency, hygiene, and consistency. The trolleys facilitate easy transportation of raw materials from one stage of processing to the next, reducing manual handling and the risk of contamination. By streamlining the flow of ingredients, meat trolleys enhance productivity while maintaining the highest levels of food safety.
Their application does not stop at transportation; they are used for batch preparation, weighing, and mixing processes, helping manufacturers maintain precise ingredient ratios. Since they can be seamlessly operated together with various machinery, such as grinders, cutters, and filling machines, these trolleys play an important role in ensuring a continuous production flow.
Defining Dimensions: The Impact of DIN 9797
The introduction of the DIN 9797 standard in 1988 marked a key milestone in meat trolley standardization. It set clear specifications for Euro-style trolleys, ensuring they were compatible across different food processing systems. By defining dimensions, materials, and load capacities, the standard made it easier for manufacturers to streamline production.
“The standard improved efficiency, allowing trolleys to integrate smoothly into automated workflows and be used interchangeably between facilities. It also strengthened hygiene and durability requirements, helping the industry meet strict food safety regulations. Of course, all our trolleys fully comply with the DIN 9797 standard, ensuring compatibility with most machines and equipment used in food production”, says Martin Olsson, CEO of Nimo-KG.
