Often copied - still unmatched

FESSMANN stands for innovation power and quality for more than 90 years now. It's not surprisingly, that because of this our plants are role model for many others. Curious about the secret, why our machines are still unmatchable?

Innovations by FESSMANN

Since its founding by Wilhelm Fessmann, who was a tinkerer himself, FESSMANN focused on distinguishing from its competitors by technical advantages. This attitude stayed until today and lead to multiple innovations, which changed the thermal treatment of food sustainably.

During the years, these developments enabled FESSMANN to provide plants for the processing of premium quality products. But it is not enough to meet the highest standards once – we want our plants to do it over and over again, without any differences in the final result.

Let’s take a look on a few of the major appliances, which help us achieve this goal:

The RATIO-damper

Tne of the most important requirements for smokehouses is the uniformity of the final products – no processor wants to offer his customers sausages with differences in flavour or colour. To meet this demand, FESSMANN invented the RATIO-damper. This patented device controls the exhaust air during smoking processes by a bypass system and ensures 100 % constant pressure conditions inside the chamber. Due to this, the processes are totally reproducible and provide consistent results in every batch, even after long years of usage - and the execution of the damper makes all wear parts unnecessary!

The airflow without alternating damper

The RATIO-damper ensures there are no differences in colour or flavour of the different batches, but it has no influence on the airflow conditions inside the chamber. These conditions are the most important factor to achieve a 100 % uniformity between front and rear and from bottom to top of the trolley in the inside. FESSMANN solved this problem by a special air-flow system. Placed directly under the fan, this system optimizes the air-flow into and inside the chamber, leading to multiple advantages compared to conventional systems – like faster process times, reduced weight loss and higher capacities. The waiving of alternating dampers additionally reduces the wear parts of the machine and leads to less maintenance times!

The TOP-device

There is no way to achieve the best smoking results without the best smoke. This is why FESSMANN developed the TOP-device for his smoke generators, to adjust the intensity of the smoke perfectly to each products specific requirements. Its sophisticated valve system enables the patented device to regulate the air feed and the temperature inside the smoke generator. Due to this, the smoke intensity can be adjusted in three steps, from light to intense – perfectly suited for processors who need a big flexibility to produce a big variety of products in only one plant.
