A vacuum transport system is an essential component in modern poultry processing plants, designed to efficiently and hygienically collect and convey by-products and residual material such as feathers, offal, or trimmings. Cut-up and filleting by-products can also be turned into high-grade meat. Back pieces and necks, but also breast carcasses, are ideal for processing in a meat recovery system.

For the efficient, hygienic transport of by-products, a closed pipe transport system is available. Using vacuum airflow, the system can transport these residual materials from various collection points throughout the processing line to centralized cyclones—without manual handling or open transport.

A vacuum transport system is energy-efficient and uses no water. At the same time, it minimizes cross-contamination risks, reduces labor demands, and ensures that by-products are collected and removed swiftly to keep processing areas sanitary and efficient. A vacuum transport system is always equipped with an automatic cleaning system (CIP).
