Per processing stage

Primary processing

First steps, lasting impact

The initial stages of broiler processing play a vital role in determining the quality of the final product. From the moment live birds arrive at the processing plant, every step must be carefully managed to ensure consistency, hygiene, and animal well-being. Critical operations like stunning, defeathering, and, most importantly, evisceration form the backbone of a clean and effective workflow. Careful execution during this primary process helps minimize contamination risks and preserves carcass integrity. A well-executed primary process not only ensures food safety but also has a direct impact on the yield, texture, and appearance of the finished products.

Our solutions:

Secondary processing

Fast, intelligent, precise processes aim to increase the primary product ratio, optimize yield, minimize giveaway and improve raw material utilization with highest added value. Marel's solutions enable the organization of daily production according to purchase orders or customer expectations.

Semi to fully automated solutions are available, starting with cut-up and deboning up to packing and labeling. With the help of weighing and visual assessment, supported by intelligent software, each individual product passes along the line to be shaped into its most profitable form.

Supporting processes

Poultry processing is not just about lining up an array of machines. It needs some grease to get things going. Supporting processes such as internal logistics, software and water treatment are indispensable for a properly functioning processing plant.

Poultry processing software is needed to offer real-time data monitoring and centralized process control to optimize machines and processes. Good internal logistics are needed to bring the right products to the right place, improving the flow of your products while safeguarding quality and integrity in the process. Sustainability is one of today’s most topical themes, with sustainable water use ranking high. Your processing plant can’t do without a proper treatment of waste water. You’ll find Marel at your side to configure the best possible waste water treatment plant.
