New equipment improves officiency and saves space: From icemakers to batching and scaling systems, new equipment at IPE this year has the capability to do more with less labor in a smaller footprint

摘要

Over the last year, equipment suppliers were hard at work developing new technologies to help processors get the most out of every labor hour and every square foot of floor space. New equipment for doing everything, from scalding birds and defatting turkey breast lobes to scaling and bagging product, was on display at IPE 2009. This report is the second in a series providing a whirlwind tour of efforts of some of the processing exhibitors this year. Completely new dev ices were more scarce than usual at the show but were important to find. These items were worth our time to consider in many plants we visit.
