Multi-cut process not only trims but sorts multiple valuable products too

摘要

Poultry processors are facing QSR (Quick Service Restaurants) and retail customers asking for high volumes of typical portioned products such as crispy tenders, medallions, strips, nuggets, cubes and more. They can now automate many manual portioning and sorting processes. Marel's I-Cut 122 has always been able to perform multiple cuts. It is now able to sort different cut products produced in the same integrated process. From a single stream of incoming products, I-Cut 122 TrimSort can make two separate streams of cut products and the trim cut from them. This further reduces giveaway with no need for human intervention. So far, I-Cut 122, combined with SpeedSort, was able to separate cut products into two conveyor belt streams. Now, the integrated TrimSort functionality and smarter software allow for the distribution of many more combinations of cut product to the two integrated belts. All of this is done in one smart system with a small footprint, without the need for a separate SpeedSort. I-Cut 122 TrimSort can generate various high-value products while accurately splitting the product flow at the highest speeds.
