Automated meat portioning and trimming solution

In meat processing, maximizing yield from each carcass while reducing labor costs and maintaining high hygiene standards is crucial. Traditional manual trimming methods can be inefficient and inconsistent, leading to wasted product and increased operational costs.

Automates meat trimming and increases yield

The DSI™ Dual Robotic Harvester by JBT is an advanced system designed for automated meat portioning and trimming. This solution uses two SCARA robots with custom vacuum end-effectors to pick remaining meat from bones and carcasses after the portioning stage. The harvested portions are efficiently conveyed to designated line destinations, minimizing waste and enhancing productivity. The system seamlessly integrates with JBT’s DSI 800 Series Portioning Systems and Q-LINK™ portioning software, enhancing automation and efficiency. It features a wash-down-ready design to meet strict hygiene standards. The harvester can handle most common poultry and red meat applications, offering flexibility and high throughput. Installation and commissioning can be completed over a weekend, minimizing downtime and ensuring a quick start to enhanced operations.
