SEMIjet®

The SEMIjet® is a semi-continuous production line system, which combines individual process zones such as hot smoking (HR), cooking (KA), baking (BA), and intensive chilling (IK) in one system. It works automatically, in batches, and is characterized by an automatic product carrier transport system and an innovative control system. In this way, the SEMIjet® enables precisely repeatable processes with consistent product quality.

The most important features

Semi-continuous, automated production system
Modular design with separate process zones
Single-row or double-row systems
Efficient transport system
Modern control and process control software for central monitoring, recording, and storage of processes and process data
Automatic cleaning
Precisely repeatable processes and results

Separate zones, consistent quality standard

Our SEMIjet® systems are individually designed continuous production line systems for semi-continuous production processes. With variable process zones and a flexible design, they can be optimally adapted to individual customer requirements. The systems can be supplied in any length as a single-row or double-row design and with automatic floor or overhead rail systems.

Performance features of SEMIjet® systems

The SEMIjet® is modular in design and consists of separate process zones such as a hot smoking zone and an intensive chilling zone, which are combined to form a SEMIjet® HRIK. Each zone offers precise and repeatable processes such as roasting, drying, hot smoking, cooking, as well as showering, cold air chilling and cold air freezing.

Fully automated hanging rack transport system: efficiency right down the line

Schröter provides the right conveyor technology for every application. From chain and walking-beam conveyors with electric or pneumatic drives to systems for overhead conveying – the variety of options guarantees optimum process integration. In combination with manual or automatic buffer zones on the infeed or outfeed side, a smooth process between the individual production steps is ensured. The automatic transport system, an essential component of the SEMIjet®, ensures a smooth material flow.

There is a choice of:

Rolling wagons
Overheading hanging racks or trees
Stationary racks for floor conveyor systems and roller-bed conveyors

Depending on the size and configuration of the system, up to 28 wagons per zone can be processed.

Innovation and automation

The systems are controlled via individual operator panels and by a central industrial PC. The process control software ensures comprehensive monitoring and control of all Schröter systems, with integrated functions such as recipe management, historical data recording and analysis, as well as traceability of process data.

Advantages for customers

With a SEMIjet®, efficiency and production reliability are maximized by clearly separating the zones and any intermediate zones. Labor costs are minimized thanks to an automated transport system that moves the products from one zone to the next. Energy costs remain low, as the processes take place in separate hot and cold zones, eliminating the need for costly temperature changes within a zone. The robust stainless steel design guarantees durability and the highest hygiene standards.

Flexibility and sustainability

The systems are future-proof and digitally integrated. Thanks to their modularity, they can be optimally designed and integrated according to the customer’s requirements. Sustainability goals are achieved through energy-efficient process management and resource-saving design methods. We support our customers from planning to commissioning and offer comprehensive after-sales service, including training, inspection contracts, and specialist technological advice. SEMIjet® systems impress as a scalable solution that is tailored to current and future market requirements.
