HALLDE has produced advice and tips on how HALLDE machines and equipment can be used in the preparation of texture modified foods and beverages in elderly care and healthcare.

Preparation of texture modified foods

HALLDE fully conforms to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) guidance for patient feeding in the Hospital and Care Home sector.

IDDSI guidance

HALLDE machines can help you at every IDDSI Level

Drinks Levels 0-4

The SB-4 will easily cover all the drinks levels as it has variable cutting speeds for different textures.

Food Levels 3-4

The CC-32S and CC-34 combi cutter range and the VCM and VCB range of bowl cutters will easily produce consistent, thicker purees due to the patented bowl scraper system, something which our competitors do not have. The benefit of this system is that it means you can get consistent texture without overheating the product during longer processing times.

Food Levels 5-7 and regular

All the dicing compatible HALLDE veg prep units: CC-34, RG-50, RG-100, RG-200, RG-250, RG-250diwash, RG-350, RG-300i and RG-400i are the perfect solution for these levels.

The IDDSI guidance recommends up to 15mm x 15mm (1.5cm) dice for adults.  Whilst a smaller dice could be produced by using a 12mm grid, if cutting smaller than the recommended 15mm dice this will reduce the ability to chew which will be against the guidance of the speech and language therapist (SALT). 

HALLDE have the solution. They are the only manufacturer that have a 15mm dice grid and as with all the other dice grids the blades are set to the outermost radius thereby ensuring nothing larger than 15mm x 15mm is produced.
