Marel’s Nuova-i eviscerator is a major step towards an intelligent, digitalized primary process. The Nuova-i allows for automated flock adjustments. These can be controlled by a touchscreen, allowing a switch to the perfect flock settings in a matter of seconds. Thanks to the internal machine software, Nuova-i can measure its own performance, allowing real-time insight into each unit.

Built for performance and hygiene, the C.A.T. poultry chillers combine smart engineering with easy maintenance. The patented air header and deep recirculation tanks ensure top efficiency. Optimum spacing on the auger flights helps keep the process flow smoother than ever. The early water cooling ensures that the water is as cold as possible before birds enter the chilling system. With seamless welds, CIP-ready design, and a sleek finish, it’s easy to clean and built to last. Boost your chilling process with the reliable flow and unmatched hygiene of C.A.T. water chillers.

As processing speeds increase, fast and accurate whole product distribution becomes essential. After chilling, each bird must be quickly directed: sold whole or sent to cut-up. The SmartWeigher GDR ensures precise inline weighing at highest speeds. With PDS software, products are assessed and sent to the right destination. The system can be expanded with IRIS vision grading, unloading stations, and a rehanger. This automatic grading reduces giveaway and ensures every product goes to its best use.

An ACM-NT Compact cut-up system can be configurated in many ways thanks to its flexible layout. It all depends on the kind of end products to produce. Is there a focus on wing products, leg products or breast products? Once the appropriate modules that comply with the customers’ end product demands have been chosen, ACM-NT Compact does what it needs to do and fulfils all product needs.

The AMF-i breast deboning system features adaptive intelligence. AMF-i automatically detects the size of uncalibrated breast caps fed to the system. You no longer have to select manually a product size related recipe, as module settings adjust themselves automatically to the measured product size. In this way, the intelligent AMF-i system achieves adaptive filleting with highest yield with no human intervention needed.

The DSI Waterjet Portioning System is a versatile, dual-lane, multi-cell waterjet cutter designed for precise, automated cutting of fillets, tenderloins, leg meat, and butterflies. Each product passes through a high-definition scanner that detects fat, shape, thickness, and weight before the Q‑Link software creates an individual cutting plan. High‑pressure, computer-controlled waterjets then execute complex cutting shapes—like steaks, strips, cubes, nuggets, or imaginative forms—maximizing yield and minimizing waste.

Nobody wants to portion poultry fillets with too much giveaway. Marel’s I-Cut 122 TrimSort is the value-adding, ideal portioning solution to this. Not only you can do superfast multiple cuts on two lanes; you can also add value to the off-cuts by sorting these strips, medallions or cubes, separating them from the fixed-weight main product and send them off to further downstream processing via the second inner conveyor belt. I-Cut can be combined with many other Marel systems, like a RoboOptimizer or SmartSplitter, to form a Strip/Sandwich Line or a Cubing Line.

JBT Marel’s AXIN software can give your business a competitive edge. You can choose the modules that best suit your needs. You can start with implementing a first small software module, which is relatively easy and causes no hassle at all. The most common, simple starting point is weighing incoming products. After that, the software component in the factory can be expanded little by little, with Data Collection, Inventory, Traceability, Reporting, and Performance Monitoring modules. Important modules for the poultry industry are PDS and ProFlow distribution software as well as the IMPAQT OEE package. This can add up to complete MES (Manufacturing Execution System) systems.
