Automated meat portioning and trimming solution
Enhance your production line efficiency with a robotic system that automates meat trimming and portioning, seamlessly integrating with existing processes to reduce waste and increase yield.

Automates Picking and Trimming of Residual Meat
The DSI™ Dual Robotic Harvester from JBT is an advanced automated solution designed for high-volume meat processing applications. It utilizes SCARA robots and custom vacuum end-effectors to efficiently automate the precise picking and trimming of residual meat from bones after the portioning stage. This system is especially effective for producing chicken breast fillets, pork sausages, and other protein products, ensuring maximum yield and minimal waste. Capable of integrating seamlessly with existing production lines, it works in tandem with equipment like the DSI 800 Series Portioning Systems to form a complete protein handling setup. With high-speed continuous operation, it reduces labor demands and enhances throughput, processing up to 240 picks per minute. The harvester is constructed for durability and hygiene, suitable for wash-down environments, and offers flexible configurations to meet specific process needs. It operates with a PLC-controlled system that facilitates smooth integration with new or existing material handling networks, boosting system flexibility and productivity.
