Meat packers handle the slaughtering, processing and distribution of animals such as cattle, pigs, sheep and other livestock. Meat packers primarily focus on producing meat for human consumption, but the industry also yields a variety of meat by-products including hides, feathers, dried blood, and through the process of rendering, fat such as tallow and protein meals such as meat & bone meal. Meat packers must use specialized tools, equipment and supplies to practice their trade. This equipment can include cutting machines, specialized saws and knives, meat dicers, form/fill/seal machines, slicers, and vacuum packaging machines. Supplies can include blades, packaging materials, sausage casings, and equipment accessories.

If you own a meat packing company that supplies Kosher delis, butchers, and bakery outlets with farm fresh or frozen meats, then you need to have the right equipment and supplies. One of the best ways to get the tenderizers, refrigeration units, processing equipment, butcher blocks, and other supplies that meat packers need is to find a wholesale supplier that gives you a discount when you place a bulk order. You will want to choose a supplier that has the equipment that you need for your cooked deer, bison, natural organic buffalo, and lamb, but you need to know what questions to ask the companies to help ensure that you will get all of the equipment that you need at a great price. One of the first things that you should determine is how much experience the companies have in the meat processing industry. Ask them how long they have been in business. If they have been in business for a long time, then they should know what kinds of refrigeration units, tenderizer, and other meat packer equipment is best for your operation. Ask them if they have products that will help you prepare mail order shipments of frozen foods so that you can ship fresh products to your customers. Ask them if they have an online catalog so that you can look at all of the products they have for sale to help you determine whether or not they have a good selection. Get price quotes from them so that you can compare their prices.
