Meyn has announced that it will present 15,000 bph poultry processing solutions during VIV China from 17-19 September 2018, leading to lower cost per bird and increasing profitability

According to Meyn, for Chinese poultry processors, the future looks bright as the consumption per capita of poultry meat has increased in the country. Also, it is likely that the import of poultry meat will decrease in coming years in China.

“Another opportunity for the poultry industry is the trend to replace the wet market of yellow birds and layers by modern processing plants. For these birds where flock uniformity is usually less consistent, Meyn offers solutions which can handle the widest weight range in the industry and still meet the quality and yield requirements,” said the company.

Meyn said that availability of labour is the biggest challenge for Chinese poultry processors although wages are consistently increasing. In the last decade, Meyn started to transform huge cut-up and deboning areas, where hundreds of people used to work, into fully automated departments.

Innovations for live bird handling to chilling at 15,000 bph

In 2018, Meyn will commission three new factories at 15,000 bph. To be able to run at 15,000 bph and still meet the optimal performance figures, it is necessary to innovate several processing steps. For this, Meyn’s new 240o evisceration solutions provide a superior product and food safety.

Meyn will also highlight its Grande drawer system, the Meyn Carousel rehanger M2.0 and the Meyn Line weigher M2.0 during VIV China 2018.

Upgraded cut up and deboning solutions with the highest yield

The Meyn Physic and Flex M3.0 cut up lines are updated to seamlessly integrate with high-speed lines. The Physic line M3.0 offers maximum flexibility and can be configured to situation-specific requirements in terms of product type, quantity, quality and flexibility.

The new Meyn Rapid Plus breast deboner M4.1 has an upgraded capacity of 7,000 breasts caps / front halves per hour. At the same time, the footprint is significantly reduced by almost a fifth.
