3d portioning system for meat and poultry processing

Optimize meat and seafood processing with versatile 3D portioning technology that adapts to product size variations, ensuring consistent cuts and maximizing yield across varied-sized end products like chicken fillets and shrimp portions.

Portions and Slices Variable-Size Food Products

The DSI™ Adaptive 3D Portioning System from JBT is engineered to address the challenges of processing variable-size food products efficiently. Combining vertical waterjet cutting with intelligent horizontal slicing, this system excels in adapting to diverse product sizes, such as chicken breast fillets, pork chops, and seafood portions, thereby maximizing yield. Using an extensive library of proprietary software, it processes products by selectively slicing only when necessary, enhancing overall product yield and consistency.

Capable of high-speed, continuous operation, this automated system integrates seamlessly into food processing lines, particularly for poultry, meat, and seafood industries. Its sophisticated portioning capabilities ensure precise cuts, such as salmon fillets and diced beef, with minimal waste. The equipment operates with reduced energy consumption by utilizing advanced motor control systems, which also facilitate remote monitoring for improved operational efficiency. Constructed with durable materials for hygiene and reliability, the system supports Clean-in-Place (CIP) integration for maintenance convenience and minimal downtime. Additionally, configurable options are available to suit specific production requirements, underscoring JBT’s commitment to delivering tailored solutions alongside comprehensive engineering support.
