Primary processing

Our years of experience in the field of design, realization and commissioning of pig slaughter plants, allow us to offer you the most practical and efficient slaughtering solutions, with maximum attention to animal welfare and hygiene.

From the moment live animals are received, Marel equipment and software ensure that they are registered and all operations from receipt to finished product are carried out and carefully monitored.

Based on the data collected throughout the primary process, we can optimize the carcass classification, slaughter process and order fulfillment.
