Product Description
The TINDO YX-500 and YX-1000 industrial smokehouses are large-scale smoking, drying, and steaming systems built for high-volume meat factories — handling 500 kg to 1,000 kg per batch with four door configurations: double-door, four-door, and channel type (tunnel). These are the machines for plants processing sausage, ham, bacon, jerky, and smoked poultry at production scale, where batch consistency and throughput directly determine contract profitability.
Like the compact YX-series, both heating modes are available — steam (room temperature to 100°C) for moist smoking and electric (up to 140°C) for drying. Four-door and channel configurations allow multi-trolley loading for continuous production flow: load one end, process, unload the other.
For small to mid-scale production (30-250 kg/batch), see our YX-Series Compact Smokehouse.
Model | Configuration | Batch | Trolleys | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
YX-500 Double-Door | Front + rear doors | 500 kg | 2 | Batch smoking with quick turnaround |
YX-500 Channel | Tunnel style, load-in/unload-out | 500 kg | 2 | Continuous flow production |
YX-1000 Four-Door | 4 doors, 2× loading faces | 1,000 kg | 4 | High-volume batch processing |
YX-1000 Channel | Tunnel style, large format | 1,000 kg | 4 | Continuous flow, high throughput |
The channel (tunnel) configuration is the key differentiator for industrial lines: product enters at one end and exits at the other, allowing the smokehouse to operate as part of a continuous production sequence rather than a batch island.
Model | Steam Heating Power | Electric Heating Power |
|---|---|---|
YX-500 (both types) | 12.18 kW | 60.18 kW |
YX-1000 (both types) | 23.18 kW | 119.18 kW |
The electric heating option on the YX-1000 delivers 119.18 kW — sufficient to hold a 1,000 kg load at target temperature even during peak drying phases. Steam heating integrates with an existing factory boiler at standard pressure.
With 2-4 trolleys loaded (standard trolley: 1013×1060×1700 mm), uniform temperature distribution across every rack level is the difference between a consistent product and a rejected batch. The YX-500/1000 uses high-capacity circulation fans with adjustable airflow, verified during factory acceptance testing with a multi-point thermocouple array.
Full process automation: smoke → dry → steam sequences with per-stage temperature, time, and smoke intensity control. Recipe memory holds product programs, and data logging supports HACCP traceability — a requirement for export-oriented meat processors.

|---|---|---|
Loading | Load all trolleys, close, process | Load at infeed, process, unload at outfeed |
Production flow | Batch island | Continuous line segment |
Best for | Recipes with long, variable cycles | Standardized products, high volume |
Space | Shorter machine, wider access | Longer machine, linear flow |
Labor | 1 operator per batch load/unload | 1 operator at each end |
Rule of thumb: If your smokehouse is one step in a continuous sausage or ham line — choose channel. If it operates independently with flexible cycles — choose batch (double/four-door).
Daily Output (2 shifts, 3 batches) | Recommended Model | Configuration |
|---|---|---|
1-1.5 tons/day | YX-500 | Double-door |
1.5-3 tons/day | YX-500 or YX-1000 | Channel or four-door |
3-6 tons/day | YX-1000 | Four-door or channel |
6+ tons/day | Multiple YX-1000 | Channel, in parallel |
Product | Typical Cycle | Batch |
|---|---|---|
Cooked sausage (smoked) | Smoke + steam, 90-150 min | 500-1,000 kg |
Ham (cooked, smoked) | Steam + smoke, 2-4 hr | 500-1,000 kg |
Bacon | Dry + smoke, 6-10 hr | 500-1,000 kg |
Beef jerky | Dry 4-8 hr | 500-1,000 kg |
Smoked fish | Smoke 60-120 min | 500 kg |
Smoked chicken | Steam + smoke, 60-90 min | 500-1,000 kg |
Duck products | Smoke 90-150 min | 500 kg |
Q: What's the difference between double-door and channel configurations?
Double-door has access from front and rear for batch loading. Channel (tunnel) has separate infeed and outfeed ends — product enters one side and exits the other, integrating the smokehouse into a continuous production line.
Q: Can I upgrade from steam to electric heating later?
The YX-500/1000 ships with both heating modes available on all models. You select the mode per recipe — no hardware change needed. If your factory gains a boiler later, steam mode is already installed.
Q: What smoke sources can be used?
Internal smoke generator accepts standard wood chips — hickory, applewood, cherry, beech, mesquite. Smoke intensity is adjustable per process stage.
Q: Is the machine HACCP-ready?
Yes. PLC data logging records temperature and cycle data per batch for traceability. All food-contact surfaces are SUS304. Full washdown design with sloped floors and drains.
Q: What's the lead time and installation requirement?
Standard lead time 30-45 days. Installation requires 380V 3-phase supply and floor space per the machine dimensions table. TINDO provides on-site installation and operator training.
