Historically, making bacon has been a laborious process. As a result, those technologies that can help reduce the labor required to produce high volumes of quality product are in demand from bacon manufacturers looking to fill the ever-growing demand for their delicious products.

This is where Protech’s Automated Spiral Cooking, Smoking, Freezing System steps in. The fully automated system allows meat processors to optimize labor, requiring only two operators to produce 8,800 pounds of perfectly seasoned, cooked, and smoked product per hour. The system also helps producers improve culture and employee retention rates, create product consistency, and improve safety.
