Key improvement to the Industries FAC automatic ham bar mold demolder
January 19, 2026
Automation and flexibility are key factors in today's production lines.
At Industries FAC we have developed a key improvement in our automatic demoulding machine for ham bar moulds, aimed at eliminating format changes and optimizing workflows in production lines with a high rotation of formats.
This innovation, recently featured in the specialised trade press, responds to a very specific need: reducing unproductive time, minimising errors and facilitating daily operations on the production floor.
The challenge of format changeovers in production
In many automatic demoulding machines, format changes depending on the product require manual adjustments. These operations involve:
- Loss of time at each production changeover
- Interruptions in workflow
- Increased risk of operational errors
- Reduced flexibility in lines with different bar formats
In plants with frequent format changes, this limitation can directly affect productivity and overall process efficiency.
The improvement developed by Industries FAC
At Industries FAC, we have developed a new version of our automatic demoulding machine for ham bar moulds that completely eliminates the need for format changeovers.
Thanks to an automatic adaptation system for different dimensions, the equipment is capable of handling different formats simultaneously, without any operator intervention.
This advancement represents a significant qualitative step forward compared to previous models, providing greater versatility and ease of use on the production floor.
Direct benefits on the production line
The incorporation of this automatic adaptation system allows:
- A significant reduction in unproductive time
- Elimination of manual adjustments and unnecessary stoppages
- Increased agility during production changes
- Reduced risk of operational errors
- More stable and homogeneous processes
All of this translates into a clear improvement in productivity and operational efficiency, especially in facilities with frequent format rotation.
Workflow optimisation
We have designed this improvement with the reality of today’s production plants in mind, where flexibility and rapid adaptation make all the difference.
This modification to the automatic demoulding machine for ham bar moulds optimises workflows and enables more dynamic, orderly and continuous production, contributing to better organisation of cured ham processing lines.
Commitment to innovation in the ham industry
With this technological evolution, we reinforce our commitment to developing proprietary solutions aimed at improving the profitability of meat processing industries.
Our focus is on offering increasingly versatile, automated equipment adapted to real production needs, providing added value to our customers.
