Chopping Table For Meat Manufacture

The client is a leading Australian meat processor supplying quality meat products to domestic and international markets. Its operations require hygienic and durable equipment suitable for demanding food-processing environments.

Jarlam was engaged to design and fabricate a custom stainless steel deboning table. The table needed to integrate with existing equipment and support safe, efficient manual handling. It also required effective drainage and easy access for cleaning.

The Challenge:

• The table needed to integrate seamlessly with the client’s existing processing equipment.
• Excess meat juices needed to drain effectively without disrupting production.
• The design needed to support safe and efficient manual handling by operators.
• All surfaces needed to be hygienic, accessible and easy to clean.

Our Solution:

• Designed and fabricated a custom stainless steel deboning table to integrate with the client’s existing equipment.
• Incorporated an angled transfer plate to direct meat onto the central perforated section.
• Installed perforated stainless steel to allow excess juices to drain away from the product.
• Designed a removable collection tray beneath the table to capture juices and simplify cleaning.
• Added food-grade plastic cutting surfaces on both sides to support safe and efficient meat preparation.
• The removable cutting surfaces provided operators with full access for thorough and efficient cleaning.

The Outcome:

• Improved workflow by supporting the efficient preparation and transfer of meat through the processing area.
• Enhanced operator safety and manual handling through a practical, user-friendly workstation design.
• Improved hygiene by allowing excess juices to drain away from the meat and into a dedicated collection tray.
• Simplified cleaning and sanitation through removable cutting surfaces and accessible components.
