Meat 

Market research has shown that demand for meat has scarcely changed. The amount of prepackaged meat is continuing to increase, influenced by the trend to convenience food and cost savings at supermarkets. There also seems to be an increase in ready-made meals using meat components. Demand for fresh product is characterised by enormous diversity. The important factor for keeping demand up to the mark is the guarantee of quality maintenance throughout the entire production chain, from fattening and slaughter to semi-finished and end products. This involves maintaining colour, moisture and cell structure, among other things.

  The quality and shelf life of meat is very important. This fact is well known to GEA Grasso UAB and our meat-processing customers. Our engineers analyse customer requirements and try to carry it to local country regulations. GEA Grasso UAB works in  different countrys and all these countrys has their own different climate and processing regulations for meat refrigeration.

Our staff know exactly how the temperatures required all along the line, from processing, logistics and storage, and those laid down by legilslation, are created and controlled. Much consideration is given to having the correct level of moisture and to avoiding frost burn during deep-freezing. The economic return from heat recovery, for example, is also important.

GEA Grasso UAB has installed refrigeration plants in bigest Belarusian, Lithuanian, Latvian and District of Kaliningrad meat processing companys. We have a lot of experiance and know how qualitavely cool down or freeze carcase meat or other variety meat.
