BIRO PRO-9 Series Meat Tenderizer & Merchandising Machine

The BIRO PRO-9 Series is a compact, multi-function merchandising machine that turns lower-value cuts into profitable, eye-appealing products.

Available in Standard Duty (SD) and Heavy Duty (HD) configurations with ½ hp or ¾ hp motors, the PRO-9 is ideal for supermarket meat departments, butcher shops, delis, and processors looking to expand their value-added product lineup. NSF, USDA, UL, CSA, and CFIA certified.
