With IFFA just around the corner and our team eagerly awaiting the show, we are pleased to be able to give you a sneak peek of what we will be displaying.
We do this by producing automated, data-driven and robotic fish processing solutions that ensure food safety, eliminate food waste and provide complete traceability. Our wide range of equipment is built for processors of all sizes, from single-skill units for specific processes such as weighing, cutting and bone removal to complete solutions such as grading, filleting, portion-cutting and slicing lines.
In the food processing industry, attaining optimal performance for production lines saves both time and money. For a smooth production flow, implementing modular transport systems to deliver batch sizes of one may be the best way forward. For plant managers who are willing to innovate, Alan Smith, Beckhoff UK’s transport system expert outlines the growing trend of small batch production and how XPlanar can be applied to food production applications to make for efficient batch size one production.

Given the high speeds with which poultry processing occurs today, it is crucial to have a firm grip on every single product that is transported via the overhead conveyor. Products that drop from the line, for example, in corner bends, where the speed is even higher, are immediately harming profitability and hygiene. Marel redesigned its evisceration shackle as well as its viscera pack shackle to meet the strictest requirements.
