Before cattle hides can be processed into beautiful end products, a treatment with salt is necessary. This was traditionally done by hand. This was and is labour-intensive work, with heavy hides quickly requiring more than 15 kilos of salt per hide. This salt removes moisture from the skins, so that the skins rot less quickly and can be stored longer.
Salting all these heavy cattle hides takes a lot of time. Fortunately, Smarthides has the solution. With the development of our professional salting machine you can now salt beef hides in a quick, easy and user-friendly way. By integrating the latest techniques in our advanced machines, our machines are widely applicable. Capacity is not a problem. Whether it's 100 or 500 hides per hour, light or heavy hides: the Smarthides salt spreader can handle it.
The Smarthides salting machines are no longer just for salting (bovine) hides. Nowadays there is a wide variety of function options: logistic tasks such as trading, separating, hooking, classifying and transporting salt can also be arranged by our modern machines.
Salt is a substance that normally causes a lot of wear and tear, even on large steel machines. Most normal steels have a lot of trouble with a salty environment. That is why the Smarthides machine builders have chosen to use stainless steel 316. This is a steel alloy that has excellent resistance to a salty environment.
Smarthides' advanced salting machine would not have been possible without the knowledge and expertise of Machinefabriek Geurtsen.
