Handtmann Technology at Sisters Meat and Smokehouse

At Sisters Meat and Smokehouse, a small, family-run business located in Sisters, Oregon, excellence isn't just a goal—it's a standard. Their dedicated team takes pride in delivering top-notch products and customer service to their community. With a rich heritage in meat cutting and smoking, ownership at Sisters Meat and Smokehouse boasts third-generation expertise, ensuring that their artisanal products are crafted with skill and precision.

Sisters took a significant step in enhancing its operational efficiency by integrating technology from Handtmann into their production process. The transition from their old piston sausage stuffer to the new Handtmann machine has been nothing short of transformative.

One of the key improvements with the Handtmann Vacuum Filler is a dramatic increase in productivity. Their old machine limited the team to processing a maximum of 200 pounds of sausage links or 600 pounds of pepperoni in an eight-hour shift. The new Handtmann technology has revolutionized their workflow, allowing them to accomplish the same tasks in just a quarter of the time.

"Handtmann technology is a game-changer" 

“The efficiency of the Handtmann technology has been a game-changer and significant upgrade. We are able to maximize our space while increasing our production capacity with the minimal footprint of our Handtmann solution.”

This boost in efficiency hasn’t just been about speed, but the delivery of a level of consistency that the team had not previously experienced. “Our products are almost 100% consistent, with correct weights,” noted a team member at Sisters Meat and Smokehouse. “With the Handtmann technology, we have a lot less waste.” This consistency is crucial in maintaining the high standards that the company is known for, ensuring that every sausage link and every piece of pepperoni meets their exact specifications.

The integration process was made smooth thanks to comprehensive training provided by Handtmann. The team at Sisters Meat and Smokehouse quickly adapted to the new system, and now, even new hires can be efficiently trained to maintain and operate the machine.

Beyond the immediate benefits of speed and consistency, there has also been a boon in terms of space efficiency and labor management. In a small shop where every square foot counts and labor resources are precious, being able to produce more with less has proven invaluable.

AS THEY LOOK TO THE FUTURE

The team at Sisters Meat and Smokehouse is excited about the possibilities that their partnership with Handtmann opens up. The potential for further innovation and efficiency ensures that they will continue to offer the best products to their loyal customers, living up to their reputation for excellence in the industry.
