Also available is the new KSLZERO-T machine; no trim length-wise slicing of all types of bonelessfresh and cooked poultry meats.
KSL ZERO-T means the fastestROI for such a machine according tothe average of the recovered trimsand the market price of the product.b [email protected]
TopKip is a Dutch company that hasthe unique ability to respond quicklyto changes and/or specific needs inthe market. The increasing pressureon poultry processing companies byconsumers requesting fresh, chilledpoultry meat without the presenceof harmful micro-organisms is a con-stant challenge.
Reacting to this market demand,TopKip was able to bring to themarket place the unique water-aircooling system, the Combi In-LineAir Chilling System.
When the effectiveness and animalfriendliness of the traditionally usedwater bath stunner was being ques-tioned, TopKip succeeded in devel-oping a new stunning concept – theHead only Stunning System.
The birds are secured and stunnedvia a head sensor device. Theamount of necessary current is
determined by the resistance of thebird’s head, resulting in effectiveanaesthesia without stress or othersuffering by the animals.
Used correctly, the TopKip princi-ples assure consumers that chickenproducts are of premium quality. Asthe producer of the world’s only in-line combined water-and-air coolingsystem for chicken slaughter plants,the highest standards have becomean automatic fact of life at TopKip.b [email protected]

The Portio 1 from Marelec FoodTechnologies is designed to cutpoultry meat into portions of fixedweight. The scanner laser 3-D tech-nology offers the best possible pre-cision, yet offering a veryeconomical attrac-tive solution withhigh capacity.
On the Portio1A, the angle ofthe rotating knife caneasily be tilted, withoutthe use of tools, over 30° or45°, resulting in a cut under angle,with the exact required weight andthe look of a natural hand cut.
The Portio has the option to scan
the size of each product and to cutthe portions in different pro-grammed ranges. This results in aminimum trim, or in other words,maximum yield. The in line graderwill then group the por-tions of the same weight.
The Portiocan be openedcompletely foreasy cleaning. All Portio machineshave a Cleaning In Place (CIP) on allbelts and guiding of the knife.
For the highest volumes on thesmallest footprint, Marelec offersthe dual lane Portio 1D and 1DA.This is ideal for large production ofcubes with exact weights.b [email protected]

The world of food is changing con-stantly due to further globalisation,changing legislation or shifting ofdemands from consumers or pro-ducers. Recent years have shown atrend for functional marinatingof fresh poultry products.Extension of fresh filletsby 10-15% results inproducts that aremore juicy and ten-der and thereforemore appreciated byconsumers.
Following this trend,together with changedlegislation in Europe, Vaessen-Schoemaker has developedNatuvas, a new range of clean labelsolutions (E-number free) for thisapplication.
Using the latest ingredient technol-ogy and extensive know how, gath-ered over past decades,Vaessen-Schoemaker has been able
to developthis new
range ofproducts
that evenincreases the
shelf life of freshpoultry products.
For food service applica-tions Vaessen-Schoemaker has
developed a full range of mixes forhigh extension rates with minimaldrip loss.
These products are also availablein clean label versions.b [email protected]

Ishida Europe has introduced a sec-ond model into its weigh batcherrange. The new Roto-Batcher com-bines the accurate weighing of freshmeat and poultry with manualmanipulation to optimise theirarrangement and presentation intrays, while its circular rotarybatching table, positioneddirectly below the weigher,also maximises the returnon floor space.
The Roto-Batcher hasbeen developed forsticky meat andpoultry prod-ucts which can-not be easilymoved by feedervibration, or for whenmanual product feedingis not economicallyviable.
Using eight operators, the systemcan deliver speeds of 55 trays perminute with an average giveaway ofonly 1%.
Product is weighed automaticallyon Ishida’s proven Screw Feederweigher and each accurately
weighed portion is then despatchedto one of the packing stations on thebatching table, where an operatortransfers it to a tray, styles it andplaces the tray on an ‘out’ belt forsealing, labelling and quality control.
The station automatically informsthe system once the filled andstyled tray has left, triggering thesending of another weighed item
to be packed.The Screw Feeder
weigher has been specifi-cally designed for sticky,
difficult-to-handlefresh products andfeatures rotating
metal spirals thatprovide a powerful, con-trolled and fully automatic
product feed to the poolhoppers.
Using the Ishida R Series’ uniquecalculation processing software, theweigher can easily double packingspeeds for the stickiest of productswhile minimising giveaway.
The Roto-Batcher incorporates auser friendly control panel, whichallows the performance of eachoperator and each shift to be moni-tored.
An easy-clean design meets thestringent hygiene demands of the
meat and poultry industry.Ishida says that as well as
fast speeds and minimalproduct giveaway, thenew system canreduce labour by upto 60% compared
with an entirely manualoperation.b [email protected]

Seydelmann grinders and mixers areeminently suitable for processingpoultry and producing various poul-try products, including conveniencefood, for example chicken nuggets.
Seydelmann Universal Grinderseasily process both fresh materialand frozen blocks down to -25°Cwithout changing the worm or cut-ting set. The drives for the feedingand working worms are frequencycontrolled and mostly wear andmaintenance free.
The six speeds of the workingworm and the four speeds ofthe feeding worm can be pre-set steplessly via the controlCommand 500. This guaran-tees the clearest cut and a very effi-cient throughput.
For the production of chicken
nuggets a vacuum-mixer with anintegrated cooling system is highlyrecommended. The two mixingshafts are each driven by a twospeed motor and independentlyswitchable forward and reverse.
Due to the special arrangement ofthe shafts, the entire batch is mixedevenly and smoothly.
Mixing under vacuum significantlyimproves taste, structure and
looks of the end-product.Furthermore, shelf-life is extended.The cooling system ensures idealtemperatures either by injecting car-bon dioxide or LN2 into the mixer-hopper via nozzles at thehopper-bottom or by adding carbondioxide-snow via snow-horns in themachine lid. b [email protected]
Jarvis Products Corporation pro-duces top-of-the-line poultry pro-cessing equipment. The companyspecialises in
pneumatictools for evis-cerating and per-forming several off-line processingprocedures.
Jarvis’ Model VC Poultry VentCutter is a high precision, low main-tenance tool that economicallyremoves poultry vents on any typeor size bird. Cut size is controlled bythe vent gun, not the operator,
resulting in increased yield. For durable, trouble-free and
faster turkey hock and neck cutting,and with more power, Jarvis’ Model
CPP cutter is the best tool for thejob. There are no springs in the
tool. Instead the CPP has pneu-matic blade closing and opening,
ensuring there is no operationaldown time due to spring fail-ure or lost power. All air
pressure is converted into cut-ting force.

Systems Integration are set to launcha new production planning andlabour scheduling module. The solu-tion has been specifically developedfor meat and poultry processors andwill be the latest offering from theirIntegreater software range.
The new module allows users toplan daily production – includinglabour, raw material and packagingrequirements. Management can setcrewing levels against jobs and pro-duction lines and it will automaticallycalculate the combined crewing levelacross their site.
The software provides a live viewof production and immediately noti-fies operators about line delays.They are able to shift productionruns onto different lines to meettotal daily production requirements.
It also identifies the reasons fordowntime and any suggested cor-rective actions.
“Raw materials and wages are sig-nificant costs for meat and poultryprocessors,” Rob Stephens, manag-ing director of Systems Integration,told International Meat Topics. “It istherefore important to ensure theyare used in the most efficient way.We’ve worked with processors toresearch the specific planning needsof this sector and are excited tooffer a unique solution. The newsoftware will give users the visibilityto quickly and easily make informedbusiness decisions and create effec-tive plans. This will enable them toensure the best possible use ofresources.” b [email protected]
