The Smoked Farmer’s Bratwurst (Gerauchte Bratwurst), the Delicatessen Pepper Sausage (Delikatess-Pfefferbeißer), and the Paprika Sausage (Paprikawurst) were each awarded gold—all receiving the highest possible score in every evaluation category. Criteria evaluated included appearance, texture, aroma, and taste. The award-winning products impressed the expert jury with their artisanal perfection, well-balanced recipes, and consistently high product quality. 

 The Seydelmann cutting drum made a significant contribution to this exceptional product quality. It enables particularly gentle and precise processing of the raw materials, thereby providing decisive advantages for both manufacturers and consumers. 

 The cutting drum reliably removes even the finest collagenous components, such as tendons, cartilage, or other hard parts. This plays a crucial role, especially in products like “Pfefferbeißer” or coarse bratwurst, which are bitten into directly: Even the smallest traces of collagen are felt by the consumer between their teeth and perceived as unpleasant. The cutting drum reliably removes these, ensuring a significantly improved mouthfeel and a particularly homogeneous product structure. 

 At the same time, the cutting process is extremely gentle on the product. The material is processed with a single clean cut—without crushing or tearing. As a result, the temperature increase in the product remains minimal, the cut surface is particularly clean, and, for example, bacon retains its firm, pleasant texture without unwanted oil accumulation on the surface. The result is products of high visual and sensory quality with excellent consistency. 

 Furthermore, the cutting drum contributes significantly to product safety. Potential foreign objects such as film residues or plastic splinters—for example, from E2 crates—can be reliably removed. Given the complexity of raw material and supply chains, this aspect is becoming increasingly important. 

 The cutting drum also offers considerable added value in terms of efficiency and labor savings. The manual preparation of raw materials—such as cutting out tendons or cartilage by hand—which was often necessary in the past, is largely eliminated. This significantly simplifies day-to-day production work while ensuring reproducible results at a consistently high level. 

 Another advantage lies in the ability to selectively upgrade simpler raw material standards. Thanks to the cutting drum’s specialized processing technology, these materials can be transformed into high-quality premium products of exceptional quality—an important economic factor for modern food producers. 

 The Seydelmann Customer Center is fully equipped like a modern food processing facility, complete with machinery for upstream and downstream processes; it meets the highest hygiene standards and holds EU approval for food production. Seydelmann thus offers ideal conditions for realistic trial productions under industrial conditions. 

 “Here, our food technologists work for or alongside the customer on product development and toward the goal of improving quality and efficiency. In this way, we offer not just food processing machines, but rather complete solutions for the challenges and products of tomorrow,” explains Andreas Seydelmann, Managing Partner of Maschinenfabrik Seydelmann KG, outlining the company’s mission. 

 The latest DLG awards confirm not only the performance of the technology used but also the comprehensive expertise of the employees at the customer center. They impressively demonstrate how closely machine expertise, process engineering, and product quality are intertwined at Seydelmann.
