FAQ
1.Certification & Food Safety
Q1: Do your machines have CE / FDA certificates for import clearance?
A: All our meat & pet food processing machines are fully CE certified per EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. All food contact parts adopt SUS304 stainless steel that meets FDA & HACCP hygiene standards. We can provide full certification documents, test reports, DOC declaration and factory inspection files for customs clearance in EU, USA, Australia and Southeast Asia.
Q2: Is the stainless steel food-grade 304? Can you provide material test reports?
A: Yes. All tanks, drums, mixing paddles, injection needles and cutting tools touching raw meat, bone slurry or pet food are SUS304 food-grade stainless steel. We can supply third-party metal composition test reports upon request. Frames and outer supports use 201 stainless steel to control costs without compromising food safety.
Q3: Does the equipment meet local food factory hygiene standards? Can it pass local health authority inspection?
A: Our machines adopt fully sealed, dead-angle-free hygienic design, easy to disassemble and fully washable. The structure complies with global food processing workshop standards. Many of our overseas clients have passed local food safety audits and health inspections with our equipment. We can adjust the structure according to your regional sanitation requirements.
2.Machine Parameter & Customization
Q4: Can you customize voltage, frequency and plug for my country?
A: Totally customizable. Standard factory power is 380V/50Hz 3-phase. We can adjust to 220V/60Hz, 415V/50Hz, 440V/60Hz for USA, Canada, Australia, Middle East, Africa etc. We match local plugs (NEMA, EU Schuko, BS, AS) and rewire the control panel before shipment with no extra charge.
Q5: Can I adjust production capacity, mold size or machine dimensions?
A: Yes. We support full customization: hourly output, ball mold sizes, injection needle quantity, drum volume, tunnel length, trolley size for smoking ovens, etc. If you have limited factory space, we can redesign compact machine layout to fit your workshop.
Q6: What raw materials can each machine handle? Can one machine process both meat and pet bone materials?

Many models support high-pressure water direct flushing with no hidden dirt dead corners, fully complying with HACCP daily sanitation rules.
Q23: Does vacuum dough mixer / tumbler really improve meat yield and texture?
A: Vacuum negative pressure eliminates air bubbles inside meat paste or dough, accelerating water & brine absorption. Meat products gain higher water retention rate (30%-80% adjustable injection yield), tenderer texture, less shrinkage after cooking, and higher finished product profit margin compared with ordinary atmospheric processing machines.
Q24: Can the smoking oven produce tar-free smoked products?
A: Our YX series smoking ovens adopt low-temperature clean smoke generation technology. Finished meat has natural smoke color without tar residue attached on the surface, non-polluting exhaust emission, meeting global food environmental protection standards.
