With over 2 billion lbs. of bacon processed in North America annually and 3-4% of projected market growth, bacon offers a great opportunity for processors to capitalize on. While exciting in terms of market potential, processing bacon is uniquely challenging. The irregular shape and consistency of pork belly makes process automation difficult, particularly when it comes to traditional slicing and packaging processes. Further, labor market conditions, such as staff shortages and increased labor costs have added further pressure on the bottom line for bacon processors.
At Weber, we’ve worked with YOU to understand your goals when it comes to bacon. From weight-accurate slicing to careful handling and precise infeeding, presenting high quality portions into the package, Weber bacon solutions are customized to solve these unique challenges – making bacon possible with less people, more throughput in the shortest square footage, and more streamlined data.
