The Alpina PBV D is a used meat processing machine — also known as a bowl cutter — currently located in Lithuania. Bowl cutters of this type are central to industrial meat preparation, used for chopping, emulsifying, and blending meat and fat into fine, homogenous mixtures for the production of sausages, frankfurters, pâtés, and similar products. Alpina is a well-established manufacturer of food processing equipment with a long track record in the meat processing industry, producing machines built to demanding commercial and industrial standards.
This is a substantial, fully specified machine. The bowl has a capacity of 330 litres, making it suited to high-volume production environments. Overall dimensions are 300 × 2,600 × 2,450 mm and the machine weighs approximately 5,600 kg, indicating a heavy-duty, floor-standing installation. Power supply is 400 V, 50 Hz, with a total power draw of 115 kW at 150 A.
The cutting system is driven by a 103 kW DC knife motor offering six selectable blade speeds: 550, 975, 1,950, 2,500, 3,200, and 4,100 rpm. This wide speed range allows the operator to move through coarse chopping at low speeds all the way to fine emulsification at the highest settings, giving considerable flexibility over the finished product texture. The bowl rotates at four selectable speeds — 4, 8, 12, and 16 rpm — with the bowl drive motor running at 65 or 130 rpm, ensuring consistent material turnover and even processing at each knife speed combination.
The machine is equipped with a hydraulic system rated at 5.5 kW, which drives the integrated loader and unloader — both are included with this listing. Vacuum processing capability is provided by a Busch vacuum pump with a displacement of 250 m³/h, enabling the bowl to operate under vacuum and reducing the incorporation of air into the meat mixture, which improves emulsion stability, product colour, and shelf life.
