Learn about the refrigerator production process
Located in Santana do Parnaíba (SP), Frigorifico Charque produces around 80 tons of beef jerky per day. Its production process is divided into four stages: boning, salting, drying and packaging. In the boning process, the meat arrives in batches of 28 tons, transported by containers on a trailer. The meat arrives in bulk.
Boning is done on benches and then the boned meat is placed on a conveyor belt and sent to salting. When salting, the meat receives an injection of brine and then a salt crust. It then rests for a week on stainless steel shelves.
After salting, the meat is sent to a bath to remove excess salt. After eight hours of sun, the meat is placed on stones to rest for another eight hours. At this stage, 320 l Tecnotri rotomolded containers are used for small meat scraps. Once the clothesline process is complete, the meat is taken to the packaging sector.
