Ferrite Microwave Technologies (FMT) meat tempering microwave systems process beef, pork, chicken, sausage, bacon, and various other meats. Many processed meat products like hamburgers, steaks, canned meats, and pet foods are items that rely heavily on frozen ingredients. One of the more challenging aspects of any frozen food manufacturing process is portion controlling. Luckily, FMT’s meat tempering microwave systems allow for ease of portion controlling and overall product handling during the next step processes. From pressing and blending, to slicing and dicing – our complete line of solutions are built to assist frozen meat and other food processors in terms of time, safety, product quality, and cost.

Meat Tempering Systems: MIP4
The MIP4 Meat Tempering System is for small to medium volume throughputs of meat. While it may be a more compact layout, it proves as advantageous in limited space settings and on-the-go food prep locations. This reliable batch-type system tempers a 50 pound (23 kg) box of frozen meat in just 1 minute.
