Information
Hygienic and efficient operations
The Marel VC vent cutter efficiently cleans, clamps and draws out the vent. Thanks to improved product positioning, the back, kidneys and tail remain undamaged, thereby maximizing yield.
Suited for non-uniform product infeed
Precise product positioning before operations take place ensures reliable and consistent cutting. The VC vent cutter has been specifically designed for correcting for size and proportions, while also preventing mutual contact of products.
Sets a benchmark for safety and hygiene
The VC vent cutter can be uncoupled from the overhead conveyor by lowering the carousel pneumatically, without affecting technological settings. The carousel can then be turned manually for cleaning. To reduce the time needed for cleaning, the VC has an open design, making them very accessible.
Precise positioning for a perfect cut
The VC vent cutter is fine-tuned to work with different shapes and sizes. The machine’s units stay in contact with products for longer, giving plenty of time for positioning, fine-tuning and carrying out the vent-cutting process.
Works with a wide product range
More time and space result in an almost perfect vent-cutting job on heavier bird weights and on flocks with wider weight spreads. The Marel VC vent cutter is the perfect tool for variable product input material, up to the heaviest birds in the industry.
