The Bepex (Rietz®) Extructor is a large block grinder, or pre-breaker, used to break down frozen blocks of meat. Often found at the front of a pet food processing line, our Extructor breaks down the frozen blocks using low-speed high-torque operation. Typical capacities range anywhere from 2 TPH to 20 TPH, depending on block temperature and desired particle size. Whether reducing blocks ahead of a secondary grinder or cooker, the Extructor provides reliable operation and consistent product quality.
