Cutting speeds reaching up to 400 cuts per minute when equipped with a dual sickle blade
Pneumatic product clamping mechanism and synchronized outfeed conveyor for portion delivery
Sectioning bone-in pork and beef cuts cleanly without bone fragment splintering
Operator touchscreen interface storing dynamic cutting recipes and automated feeding offsets

Oil-free bakery and bread slicing units PRIMUS

PRIMUS 400, PRIMUS 500, and DISKUS bread slicers are built for industrial bakeries and retail storefronts. The equipment delivers clean, uniform slicing across delicate soft breads, rye loaves, artisan boules with dense crusts, and delicate pastry without lubricating fluid.

Proprietary oil-free cutting technology preserving bread aroma and meeting hygiene norms
Circular rotary blade featuring non-stick coating and precision ground tooth geometry
Automatic mechanical interlock chamber preventing operator interaction during slicing cycles
Electronic adjustment dial setting slice thicknesses from 4 up to 24 millimeters cleanly

Patented nanoBlade knives and cutting tools

Manufactured at the Oberlahr plant from specialized alloy tool steel, proprietary nanoBlade circular and sickle blades are developed together with cutting machinery as a single unit to ensure extended operating durability and clean cut surfaces across food products.

Micro-precision blade sharpening reducing cutting resistance and product deformation
Extended operating lifespan between service maintenance and re-grinding intervals
Interchangeable cutting grids, counter-blades, and holding combs for varied food textures
Direct factory item marking on knife bodies for rapid identification and parts matching

Mechanical drive components, sensors, and seals

To support uninterrupted production runs across processing lines, we provide precision drive belts, planetary gears, carriage positioning sensors, guide rails, blade spindle bearings, and pneumatic cylinders engineered for washdown sanitation in food manufacturing plants.

Toothed feed belts and timing pulleys with anti-corrosion surface treatments for wet rooms
Inductive limit switches and safety door interlock monitors for machine guard assemblies
Polyurethane hydraulic seal repair packages and pneumatic cylinder piston guidance bands
Stainless spindle bearing housings with sanitary seals resisting daily high-pressure wash

History of the TREIF factory in Oberlahr and integration into JBT Marel

The German manufacturer TREIF was founded in 1948 by engineer Toni Reifenhäuser. Starting with the manufacturing of sharpening stones and bone saws for butcher workshops, the company steadily focused on developing precision machinery for food cutting operations.

Since 1976, the design engineering offices and manufacturing facilities of TREIF have been located in Oberlahr.

In 2020, the facility joined the international technology group Marel, continuing operations as Marel TREIF GmbH, and subsequently integrated into JBT Marel.

This integration brought together decades of German mechanical engineering craftsmanship with global service networks, advancing machines for sectioning meat, poultry, cheese, and bakery products.

Design and motion kinematics of industrial DIVIDER slicers

DIVIDER startUp, lineUp, and orbital slicers are constructed upon rigid stainless steel support structures equipped with vibration dampening pads.

The rotation of the circular or planetary cutting blade is powered by a direct servo motor drive featuring dynamic velocity control, preventing mechanical compression across soft cheeses and deli meats.

Energy-efficient ECO SLICING technology enables portion slicing of food products at elevated core temperatures without intensive cryogenic pre-tempering, preserving natural texture while lowering facility electricity use.

An optical scanning module and dynamic checkweighing scale monitor individual portions, relaying feedback directly to the carriage drive.

Raw material separation principles in FELIX dicing machines

The FELIX dicing series and heavy-duty industrial ARGOS and TWISTER dicers employ a dual-action cutting methodology.

During the primary stage, a hydraulic ram advances fresh or tempered meat blocks through perpendicular grid knife assemblies, forming longitudinal product strips of defined dimensions without squeezing out valuable cellular moisture.

During the secondary stage, a robust sickle knife slices the advancing strips into uniform cubes at speeds of several hundred revolutions per minute.

Patented hydraulic control of product pre-compression balances irregular raw material geometries, maintaining uniform cutting density from initial contact to the final slice without processing scrap.

Portion sectioning of steaks and bone-in loins in PUMA slicers

High-capacity PUMA and FALCON portion slicing units are engineered for high-speed sectioning of chilled and tempered meat products, both boneless and bone-in cuts.

The reinforced blade spindle is driven by a high-torque electric motor delivering high peak cutting forces when driving the sickle blade through dense bone structures.

A pneumatic product gripper secures the primal cut across the entire working stroke, while a synchronized take-away conveyor transfers sliced portions without disturbing their shape.

Operating with a dual blade configuration doubles throughput up to 400 cuts per minute while maintaining uniform slice thickness and preventing splintered bone particles.

Oil-free bakery cutting technology in PRIMUS machines

PRIMUS 400 bread slicers and DISKUS rotary units are engineered to operate without cutting oil.

The circular rotary knife features a non-stick fluoropolymer coating that prevents soft crumb adhesion during slicing of warm fresh loaves or sticky pastries containing fruit fillings and glazes, operating completely free of lubricating oil sprays.

Eliminating oil sprays preserves natural bakery aroma, extends packaged bread shelf freshness, and prevents oily residue formation.

The planetary gear drive mechanism incorporates counterbalanced weights, reducing operating vibration and noise levels in supermarket sales areas or artisan bakery storefronts during peak retail periods.

Precision manufacturing of patented nanoBlade cutting knives

A core technological advantage of TREIF cutting systems is the coordinated development of the machinery and the cutting blade as a single mechanical assembly.

Proprietary nanoBlade knives are manufactured in Oberlahr from chromium-molybdenum alloy tool steel using precision laser profiling followed by cryogenic hardening for maximum edge durability.

Micro-ground edge geometry minimizes cutting friction across delicate food fibers, eliminating juice loss and yielding clean slice faces.

Regular knife re-sharpening using dedicated workshop fixtures restores original edge bevel angles, extending total blade operating life before scheduled mechanical replacement cycles.
