It's not the most popular subject perhaps in poultry processing, but the efficient and reliable handling of by-products and offal at today’s highest throughputs is a critical part of the primary process. Marel almost continuously improves the handling of feathers and evisceration room waste.

To provide goose meat to the family’s tables, industrial processing is needed. This is a specialized business, often combined with duck processing. Marel PMJ offers the right flexible solutions to add the most value to the meat production of both waterfowl species.

Poultry processors strive for higher capacities to increase competitiveness. Until now, Taiwan's poultry industry respects the maximum processing speed of 8,500 bph, imposed by the government. The reason for this restriction lies in the capability of the veterinary inspectors to assess the health of carcasses and viscera packs.

Marel is pleased to announce the acquisition of a minority stake in Soft Robotics Inc, a US based industry-leading robotics company and a strategic partnership focused on selected solutions in core markets.

Marel understands what’s going on in the markets and is able to offer standardized solutions for the creation within specs of QSR whole muscle meat products such as cubes, strips and burgers, while ensuring highest yield and low labor dependency.

Increase raw material utilization with precision portioning. Water-jet technology brings more precision and flexibility to portioning, transforming fish processing.

The successful integration of PMJ into the Marel organization creates added value for duck processors around the world. They can benefit from Marel’s polyvalent duck processing portfolio, which has been considerably overhauled. Marel will be their one-stop full-line supplier for Pekin Ducks, Barbary, Muscovy, Mullard and other duck types as well as geese.

When eating chicken meat, it makes both economic and ethical sense to use as much of the bird as possible, finding the most profitable market for each part. This is the way processors achieve optimum carcass balance, allowing them to operate sustainably at peak efficiency. Harvesting giblets efficiently is therefore a truly essential part of any profitable processing operation. Markets across the world differ, however, in the way in which they enjoy their giblets.

The Salmon Tail Cutter MS 2705.30 is ideal for fish processors looking to optimize their Marel filleting line through automation and improve the quality of their fillets. The tail cutting unit eliminates the need for manual tail cutting and improves raw material utilization thanks to superior accuracy.

MES solutions are becoming essential to manage and process data in today’s food industry landscape of ever-increasing demands. While the advantages can be enormous, thorough planning is vital for a successful implementation process.
