Compact high-precision waterjet portioning system
Maximize your production line efficiency with a compact waterjet portioning system designed to deliver precise cuts and reduce energy consumption without sacrificing throughput.

Precisely Portions and Slices Protein Products
The DSI™ 812 Compact Portioning System from JBT FoodTech brings advanced waterjet cutting technology into limited spaces, ideal for poultry, meat, and seafood processing. Operating with JBT’s exclusive electric servo pump, this system reduces energy usage by 40% compared to hydraulic systems. It leverages high-pressure waterjets for precision slicing, enhancing product yield and minimizing waste. The onboard Q-LINK™ Portioning Software and laser scanning technology ensure optimal cuts by adjusting slice strategy according to the product’s shape, thickness, and weight. Its compact footprint supports seamless integration into existing lines, accommodating up to 70% less space than traditional systems, without compromising on throughput or quality. The system is suitable for applications such as slicing chicken breast fillets, turkey strips, and salmon portions and allows for efficient reallocation of manual labor to more skilled tasks. Easy to install and maintain, the 812 is an efficient solution for processors seeking to automate their cutting operations while boosting profitability and reducing operational costs.
