In today’s competitive food processing industry, automation, precision, and adaptability are more important than ever. The AKS 65M from REX-Technologie exemplifies these core values, setting a new standard for industrial sausage production. Designed for high-output operations, the AKS 65M delivers a powerful blend of automation, flexibility, and ergonomic design, offering manufacturers a compelling solution for maximising productivity and minimising downtime.
A technological teap in tinking and hanging
At the heart of the AKS 65M’s innovation is its seamless integration with the REX vacuum filler and the RHS 330 hanging system. Together, these systems form a cohesive production unit capable of automated linking, portioning, casing changes and hanging — all with extraordinary precision and reliability.
The vacuum filler is equipped with REX’s vane cell feed system to ensure gentle handling and optimal air evacuation, which is critical for achieving consistent product texture and shelf life.
Casing change in under two seconds
One of the AKS 65M’s standout features is its revolver-based casing change technology. Using three linking tubes, the system performs automatic casing changes in under two seconds, significantly reducing interruption times. Combined with a casing magazine that feeds linking tubes automatically, the AKS 65M ensures continuous operation—an essential feature for large-scale production environments.
Unmatched portioning speed and accuracy
REX’s servo-driven voider system brings exceptional accuracy to portioning. Capable of producing up to 2,500 portions per minute for artificial and collagen casings (and 1,000 portions for natural casings), the AKS 65M not only keeps up with high demand but also maintains uniformity in size and weight, reducing product giveaway and enhancing product consistency.
Intelligent calibration for consistency
Post-voiding, the system employs dual calibration belts to ensure sausages meet exact specifications in length and diameter. Their flexible adjustability supports quick adaptation to various product types, keeping downtime to a minimum and reinforcing production stability across casing types.
The RHS 330: Efficiency on the Line
Integrated into the system is the RHS 330 hanging unit, which further streamlines the process by transferring sausages directly from the calibration belts to the hooks. The narrow pitch (grid) of the catch hooks guarantees maximum loading on the smoke stick and thus also in the smoking and cooking system.
Ergonomic and flexible – Built for operators
REX-Technologie also recognizes the importance of operator comfort and safety. The adjustable working height of both the AKS 65M and RHS 330 offers ergonomic benefits, reducing physical strain and promoting efficient, safe operation throughout extended production runs.
Conclusion: A Future-Focused Production Powerhouse
The AKS 65M represents a holistic approach to sausage production, where automation, precision, and operator-centered design come together. For producers aiming to maximize output without compromising quality, the combination of the AKS 65M and RHS 330 is more than a technological upgrade—it’s a strategic investment in the future of food manufacturing.
With its advanced features and intelligent engineering, REX-Technologie continues to prove why it is a leading name in meat processing equipment. The AKS 65M isn’t just a machine—it’s a cornerstone for next-generation sausage production.
