“It was really the demands of our customers for lower bone content that led us to buy the SensorX,” says Hans van Norden, Production Manager of Dutch poultry producer Storteboom. The company decided to add the SensorX to its arsenal of equipment from Marel at its poultry processing plant in Nijkerk, the Netherlands – the biggest filleting factory in Europe. “We tested some X-ray machines and Marel’s was the best. It was the only one that could find the small bones and the deltabones.”

Improved Quality

Storteboom is proud of its commitment to hygiene and food safety and the SensorX plays a key role in that regard. “The SensorX is very important to us in terms of reducing risk and improving quality,” says van Norden. “It is now a key part of our entire quality process and it helps to prevent against claims. And as an added benefit, it is user-friendly.” Storteboom is in no doubt that the SensorX has made a big difference to the production process. “100% bone-free is an illusion but the SensorX is very close to that,” says van Norden in conclusion.
