Meat Cutting Machine Supplied to a Processing Plant in Vietnam

We’ve been exporting meat processing equipment for many years now, and if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s this:
cutting meat sounds easy, but doing it well, every single day, is not.

This case is about a meat cutting machine we supplied to a food processing plant in Vietnam. Not a large industrial group, not a startup either. Just a growing factory that needed something more reliable than manual cutting and old machines that were already past their best days.

1. First contact with the customer

The customer contacted us through our website after reading a short article about frozen meat cutting machines. Their message was short and pretty direct:

“We cut frozen pork and beef. Current machine is slow and unstable. Need something better.”

So we replied and started asking questions.
From experience, if you don’t ask enough at the beginning, you’ll pay for it later.

We asked about:

• meat temperature (fresh or frozen)

• cutting size

• daily capacity

• how many hours per shift

After a few emails and some photos from their workshop, things became clearer.
They were cutting frozen meat blocks, around -8 to -12°C, into strips and cubes, mainly for further processing.

Manual work was too slow.
Their old cutting machine jammed often.
Blade replacement was frequent and annoying.

Very typical situation, especially in Southeast Asia.

2. What the customer actually needed

At first, the customer thought they needed a “high-speed” machine.
But after talking more, we realized speed was not the real problem.

What they needed was:

• stable cutting, not vibration

• consistent size, not broken pieces

• easy blade change

• a machine that workers could handle without constant supervision

So instead of pushing the biggest model, we suggested a medium-capacity meat cutting machine, designed for semi-frozen meat.

Main points:

• strong stainless steel frame

• stable motor with protection

• simple but solid blade system

• easy access for cleaning

Nothing fancy. Just practical.

The customer agreed and confirmed the order after a short discussion about power supply and workshop layout.

3. Production inside our factory

Once the order was placed, the machine went into our production schedule.

In our workshop, meat cutting machines are always handled carefully.
If alignment is not right, cutting quality will never be right. Simple as that.

During production:

• the frame was welded and stress-released

• shafts and blade holders were machined and tested

• motor and transmission were matched and installed

• safety covers were checked again and again

Before shipment, the machine was tested using frozen meat samples.
We don’t like dry testing only. It doesn’t tell the full story.

The cutting result, motor load, and sound were all checked.
Only after everything looked stable did we approve it for packing.

4. Packing and shipment to Vietnam

For this shipment, the customer chose sea freight.

The meat cutting machine was:

• fixed firmly in a wooden crate

• protected with anti-rust oil

• wrapped carefully around blades and moving parts

Inside the crate, we added:

• spare blades

• basic tools

• English manual

• maintenance notes

We’ve learned that small things like manuals and spare parts really matter once the machine arrives on site.

Documents were prepared early, so customs clearance in Vietnam went smoothly.

5. Installation and first use

About three weeks later, we received a message saying the machine had arrived.

The customer installed it with their own team.
We supported them through photos and short video calls.

During the first run, they cut frozen pork blocks into strips.
The result was clean. No tearing, no stuck meat.

A few days later, they sent feedback:

“Cutting speed is stable. Workers don’t need to stop often. Cleaning is easier than before.”

That’s usually the first sign the machine fits their real needs.

6. Real feedback after daily use

After two months of operation, we followed up again.

The customer told us:

• daily output increased

• blade life was longer than expected

• less product waste

• workers adapted quickly

They also mentioned something interesting:

“Now cutting is not the bottleneck anymore.”

For a meat processing plant, that sentence means a lot.

7. What this export case shows

From this Vietnam meat cutting machine export case, a few things stand out.

First, choosing the right model matters more than choosing the biggest one.
A machine that matches the meat condition will always perform better.

Second, frozen meat cutting is not just about blade sharpness.
Structure, stability, and motor control all play a role.

Third, customers value machines that are easy to use.
If workers feel comfortable with it, production runs smoother.

These are things you don’t always see in brochures, but you feel them on the factory floor.

8. Why more customers choose direct manufacturers

More and more overseas customers now prefer to work directly with meat processing equipment manufacturers. From our experience, the reasons are simple:

• clearer technical communication

• real production experience

• ability to adjust details

• faster feedback when problems happen

A meat cutting machine is not a one-time purchase.
It’s something that runs every day, sometimes for years.

Reliability always wins in the long run.

9. Final thoughts from the factory side

For us, exporting a meat cutting machine to Vietnam was not a “big” project.
But every machine that leaves our factory represents how we work.

Once it’s installed in the customer’s plant, cutting meat hour after hour,
it speaks louder than any marketing words.

If you’re looking for a reliable meat cutting machine, or other meat processing equipment, feel free to talk to us. Just tell us what kind of meat you cut, the temperature, and the size you need.

We’ll take it from there, step by step.
