Detailed freezing of meat is an important technological operation in the production of meat products, the effectiveness of which depends on the design features of the equipment, its productivity, the energy of the metal capacity, as well as the ability to ensure the necessary level of detailing. The significant diversity of industrial milling machines and their technical and technological characteristics necessitate an integrated approach to selecting equipment for the specific needs of meat processing.
The purpose of the work was to establish a rational choice of equipment for the production of frozen meat products based on a rich criteria assessment of its technical, technological, and resource indicators.
The objects of investigation were industrial crusher models that differed in the designs of feed augers, finishing assemblies, and cutting sets, as well as in the parameters of the output grids. For an equal assessment of power supply capacity, the indicators of energy throughput capacity, mass throughput, and the energy-to-metal capacity coefficient are considered. The importance of effective alternatives followed the Pareto dominance principle. For an integral assessment and the establishment of a rational option, a method has been developed to determine the significance of other criteria. It has been established that for the latest crusher models, the energy capacity ranges from 0.22–0.564 kW/mm, and the mass capacity ranges from 5.6–20 kg/mm. The values of the energy intensity coefficient become 0.00925–0.03 (kW year)/kg, and the metal capacity coefficient – 0.293–1.6 (kg year)/kg. Based on the following criteria, the lowest value between the idealized option and the crusher GW 300 was 0.131. This model is characterized by rational tracking of resource indicators and will provide detailed information via the exit grid, with openings 15 mm in diameter. For the GIGANT MEW 734 and CFS UniGrind models, the indicator values reach the targets of approximately 0.385 and 0.369, respectively. At the same time, the design features of their feeding and processing mechanisms enable the processing of frozen meat products through an outlet grid with 3 mm openings.
Using a rich-criteria approach, it is possible to ensure the selection of equipment for processing frozen meat products while maintaining the necessary levels of processing, productivity, energy, and metal capacity. The results can be obtained during the design and modernization of technological lines for processing raw meat materials, using a method to increase the resource efficiency of the technological process.
