Primary Meat Processing
If you run a meat processing plant or slaughter line, automation is key to effective yield control at every stage of processing, from carcass intake from, deboning process – to product dispatch.
Yield has a significant and direct impact on the bottom line, making it one of the most important KPIs in fresh meat processing. Beef, Sheep and Goat meat processing companies must maintain complete control of yields, with 60-65% of the final product cost stemming from raw materials.
With increased overheads and potential labour shortages, it is ever more vital for red meat processors to be able to efficiently control, monitor and measure every aspect of their shop-floor operations.
Stelram in partnership with Scott Technology, supply automated and manual systems for the deboning, trimming and packing of beef, sheep and goat. Together we have the knowledge and experience required to design and supply cost effective solutions, helping companies deliver high-quality meat products.
X-Ray technology
Depending on your exact requirements, our patented X-Ray system is designed to determine the skeletal structure of a carcass and determine the ideal cut points for separation of the Forequarter, Middle and Hindquarter.
Benefits of using X-Ray Grading:
- Measurement of primal weights
- Optimised cut specification to suit each individual carcass
- Consistent throughput of up to 30 carcasses per minute
- Meat, fat and bone percentages for each primal cut
- Verified and accurate yield information for all processed carcasses
- Animal / carcass identification and tracking
With our expertise in other production sectors, we are also able to recommend additional automation solutions, which could further enhance meat processing systems. These could include additional 2D or 3D vision technology, conveying, cutting, picking and packing solutions.
