EQUIPMENT: MAJA FOOD TECHNOLOGY
MAJA is one of the world's leading manufacturers of de-rinding, membrane-skinning and automatic flake-ice machinery. It has at its disposal over 50 years' experience in the production of machines used by the meat processing industry.

The cornerstone of the company was laid back in 1925 in the South Baden town of Kehl-Goldscheuer. At that time, circular bone saws, knife sharpeners and machine for crushing ice were built. However, today's company was officially founded only in 1955.

Nowadays, MAJA is an ultra-modern, medium-sized family company with customers and partners all over the world.

The company - currently employing about 160 people - has now reached its third generation and is run by the brothers Reinhard and Joachim Schill, who control the marketing and technology divisions. They are supported by the managing director Berthold Gassmann, who takes responsibility for signing on behalf of MAJA-Maschinen's worldwide sales operation.

Thanks to the know-how gleaned from butchers' shops, the founders of the company developed patented processes for the de-rinding of meat parts, as well as MAJA's automatic fine ice machine system, which today enjoys world renown.

 To begin with, MAJA's activities were concentrated in the area of meat processing operations. Nowadays, the fishing, bread and confectionery industries, as well as the catering trade and supermarkets, are also major elements.

Over 80,000 MAJA machines have now been installed worldwide!

MAJA is renowned for its quality, providing the user with a high level of efficiency and enormous benefits. The machines are popular due to their sturdiness, ease of handling and precise operation. Reliable, durable machines are now a must in a modern processing plant with often intricate and complex working processes.

Great store is set by product innovations. MAJA's technical staff are constantly seeking customer contact, so that together they can work out product solutions which are geared towards individual requirements and guarantee optimum use to the benefit of the customer.

Technology for the future. We are proud of this!

 

 

MAJA Model ESB 4434 for Skirt Steak (Tampiquena / Arrachera)

A compact automatic skinning/de-rinding (removes skin and membrane and slices meat) machine the ESB 4434 works well where space is a factor. Easy to operate, available with or without a discharge conveyor (ESB 4434/1) and it can be run automatically or, with removal of the conveyors and front work table in place, run manually. This allows for skinning and membrane removal of either flat product, in automatic mode or round product, in manual mode giving the customer versatility. Very commonly used for flat products such as small or export type bellies, fatback, jowls, plate meat, skirts and the like as the pressure roller automatically adjusts to the individual thickness of the piece of meat.

The ESB can also be used for horizontal slicing of belly for example for kebab production.

Maja Model BXM 554 and BXM 754 Conveyorized De-Rinding and Skinning Machine

The multi-purpose BXM 554 and 754 are suitable for de-rinding of thicker and flat meat cuts. The material to be de-drinded can be put on the infeed conveyor in unsorted positions. The product to be de-rinded is precisely introduced to the blade thanks to a newly developed pressure device that automatically lowers the infeed conveyor. With this innovation, an automatic cutting command is not necessary. All cuts are de-rinded or skinned with excellent results. For example pork shoulder with and without bones, slashed or unslashed pork jowls, salted, air-dried or smoked ham. The BXM - series is available in different variations. Solutions for meat slicing as well as fish and poultry skinning is available upon request.
