High-Speed Fresh Meat Slicing for a Steakhouse Chain: Cutting 800 kg/Hour with Precision

A 28-outlet steakhouse chain standardized on VEMAG-style fresh meat slicers and achieved uniform 4 mm slices across every location.

High-Speed Fresh Meat Slicing for a Steakhouse Chain: Cutting 800 kg/Hour with Precision — learn how Yuerui Machinery supports your production with reliable equipment and engineering.

A 28-outlet steakhouse chain in Southeast Asia needed every location to deliver identical 4 mm-thick sirloin and striploin slices from 200 g portions of fresh beef. Their existing manual gravity slicers produced slices ranging from 2 mm to 9 mm, and the chain was bleeding refund money on inconsistent plating.

The Challenge

The chain asked us for a slicer that would hold ±0.5 mm thickness tolerance, push out 800 kg of fresh beef slices per hour, and survive a quick wipe-down between every shift without breaking down. Each store also needed a slim machine that fit under the existing exhaust hood.

The Solution

We standardized the chain on a VEMAG-style fresh meat slicing machine with a stainless automatic feeder, 1.5 kW servo motor, and a digital thickness dial locked at 4 mm. The same machine is now used in every store, with one PLC program that locks out any unauthorised thickness change.

Results & Client Benefits

Within 90 days the chain reported a 32% drop in slice-related refunds, a 24% lift in average spend per table, and 18% faster table turn-around because slices arrived to the grill at the same predictable thickness across every location.
