Why is the latest eviscerator technology crucial in a processing plant?

Integrating the latest technologies into the evisceration process offers poultry processing operations numerous advantages. Which arguments are compelling to replace an existing eviscerator with the most modern technology? The six questions below lead to some clarifying answers.

1. How can a modern eviscerator enhance efficiency beyond current levels?

The art of evisceration lies in consistently achieving high extraction performance across all broiler weights while also excelling in the giblet pack harvesting line. Mastering both aspects simultaneously is what makes the process complex. Modern eviscerators are data-driven to maintain consistently high performance with the least risk of human errors.

Such a system is better equipped to deliver consistent results, thereby enhancing efficiency. No matter the size, weight, dimension, or breed of chicken, a thoroughly clean carcass plus a rehung, immaculate viscera pack must be the result of the evisceration process at all times. This is only possible when the eviscerator flexibly tolerates variances in the set average flock characteristics but keeps performing optimally.

By automating machine adjustments based on real-time data, modern evisceration systems such as Marel’s Nuova-i optimize throughput and reduce the likelihood of human error, leading to improved operational efficiency.

2. Why is evisceration yield so important?

Evisceration yield refers to the amount of usable product extracted during the evisceration process. It is a critical figure because it directly impacts efficiency, profitability, and resource utilization. It involves maximizing the yield of packages extracted, ensuring top performance in extraction. Striving for the highest yield means less waste and obtaining maximum value from each carcass and giblet.

A high evisceration yield is important because it ensures high-quality organs and products, while at the same time effectively cleaning the carcass. Required for a high yield is therefore a perfect rehang (without product drops) and extraction performance, with a consistent, optimal performance of each individual evisceration unit, while minimizing losses and guaranteeing the highest possible quality of cleaned product and giblets.
