The moulding stage involves giving the products its desired shape and final weight. It’s one of the crucial stages for a company that produces cooked hams, whereby a highly qualified manager is responsible for the checks and training of operators (moulders) who perform the moulding process.
Moulding consists of three different stages:
1) Trimming the thighs with the removal of excess fat and any remnants of cartilage and nerves; 2) Calibrating the thighs using suitable scales; 3) Immersing the trimmed thigh in an appropriate mould. At this point the moulded thighs are subjected to automatic pressing and placed on suspended trays, ready for the next stage.
