Integration Into Current System

Product Testing

Installation

Smithfield Foods, the world’s largest pork processor, came to us needing an updated oven tree for cooking hams that would increase capacity and help improve product coloring.

The new ham trees needed to integrate with their current overhead track system and remove easily for cleaning and maintenance.

Upon meeting with the client and visiting the facility, our team designed, fabricated, and helped install new ham trees that integrated into their sys- tem and greatly increased product capacity - Increased Capacity from 785 to 1,440 Hams per Oven - Improved Product Color Consistency - Integrated and Easily Removable Smithfield Foods was greatly impressed with the service and quality of equipment Fusion Tech provided, and ordered more ham trees to use in other facilities.

Fusion Tech designed an impressive new ham tree to help optimize our cooking processing. We are very happy with the results. The new design increased capacity from 785 hams per oven to 1,440 per oven — a 45% increase! We’ve also seen a marked increase in the consistency of the color of the hams due to the even spacing and airflow on the trees. The Fusion Tech trees improved our cooking capacity and product coloring so much, we ordered more to use in our other facilities. If you’re looking to optimize your facility, I highly recommend working with Fusion Tech. - Chris Jordan
