Weber AFS 460: Flexible, High-Performance Belt Derinder
The AFS 460 belt derinder is designed for artisanal and medium-sized companies, offering a wide range of applications and two processing speeds for maximum versatility. This combination machine can be used in “open” mode with a carriage table for manual operation or in “closed” mode with a height-adjustable pressing device and carriage belt for fully automated processing.
 
In belt operation, the AFS 460 delivers efficient automatic derinding of all pork cuts, including cheek, belly, and loin, as well as fat on the shoulder and ham. When used in open operation, it is ideal for manual derinding of round cuts such as ham, shoulder, or knuckle. The AFS 460 is also well suited for the precise and careful skinning of poultry cuts, ensuring both flexibility and consistent product quality across diverse applications.
 
Key Features:
Dual-Mode Operation
Operates in “open” mode with a carriage table for manual processing, or in “closed” mode using a height‑adjustable pressing device and carriage belt for automated conveyor operation.
 
Wide Application Range
In conveyor mode, it automatically derinds pork cuts like cheek, belly, fatback, shoulder, and ham. In open mode, it excels at manual derinding of round, self‑rotating cuts such as ham, shoulder, and knuckle. It’s also suitable for poultry, veal, and, depending on cut, game.
 
Product-Specific Equipment
Equipped with various pressing units, belt coverings, and blade holders to tailor performance to the product. Precisely positioned guide plates ensure optimal product guidance.
 
Ease of Cleaning & Maintenance
Features fast, easy cleaning and maintenance‑friendly design. A clever folding mechanism for the infeed belt allows it to remain fixed to the machine without removal, enhancing operator convenience.
 
Compact & Mobile
Compact build suited for artisan and medium‑scale operations, and can be easily moved thanks to a trestle with swivel castors.
 
Applications:
Derinding diverse pork cuts (cheek, belly, fatback, shoulder, ham)
