X-ray guided waterjet portioning system for pork ribs

Optimize your poultry and meat processing with precise, efficient portioning and slicing, ensuring consistent quality and reducing labor dependency through advanced X-ray guidance and waterjet technology.

Portions and Inspects Tough Meat Products

The JBT X-ray Guided Waterjet Portioning System leverages the DSI™ 800 S series waterjet system with the Flexscan™ X-ray system to tackle challenging meat processing tasks like pork ribs and seafood. This dual-lane solution excels in simultaneously locating bones while accurately slicing products based on user-defined specifications. With an advanced X-ray inspection mechanism, it meticulously identifies bone locations, enabling precise portioning and sorting for a range of products, including pork rib cuts and boneless pork loins. The system handles high-speed operations typical in food processing environments, reducing manual labor and enhancing product quality. Offering cutting-edge automation, it integrates seamlessly into existing lines, featuring expandability with up to eight cutter modules. Its design includes improved ventilation to reduce waterjet mist and noise, supported by an upgraded cutter assembly to minimize maintenance requirements. Adaptable to varying throughput needs, it ensures efficient operation, optimized for energy use with a 6000 bar waterjet upgrade, bringing down costs and boosting efficiency. Constructed for durability, the system aligns with stringent food safety standards, ensuring compliance with industry norms.
