As poultry portions are getting bigger, due to larger growing birds, they sometimes need to be adapted to the required weight and size of the end product. Flattening is one of the methods that can be used. 

While maintaining their integrity, moisture and taste, the portions can be flattened to create the ideal shape and weight for end product purposes, such as schnitzels. Marel's method puts less pressure on the poultry by massaging it over a shorter period of time than other flattening equipment. This results in a high-quality bite, texture and taste.
