Dutch Structuring Technologies Improves Precision of the “Next Big Technology” in Meat Alternatives

Dutch Structuring Technologies (DST) is utilizing Rockwell Automation’s Kinetix servo solution to enhance the precision of its Sheartex technology, known for producing long-fibered whole cuts of plant-based meat or fish. This technology uses lower processing temperatures, reducing the need for additives and post-processing steps. The goal is to bring down the cost of meat alternatives to achieve parity with animal proteins.

DST aims to lead a paradigm shift in the meat alternative industry with its innovative production technology. The company is focused on developing advanced solutions like the Sheartex machine to meet the rising demand for plant-based and hybrid products that closely resemble meat-based ones. By introducing new technologies and digitalization in processing, control, and management, DST believes it can offer food producers the next big technology they have been seeking in this rapidly evolving market.
