Optimized yield

The PORTIO software for the Portion Cutter always calculates the cuts so as to leave zero waste, and maximize the yields. Conditional programs are possible for increased yields. Combinations of fixed thickness and various fixed weights allow portioning for maximum yield for all poultry applications. 

Unparalleled accuracy

1 laser camera at the top perfectly scans flat products such as chicken fillets or deboned thigh meat. This transforms the shape of the poultry product into a 3D model. As it knows the density of the product, the intelligent software of the portioning machine instantly calculates where to cut the product to obtain the target weights.

Modular belt

The portion cutter has automatic stretch compensation which guarantees optimal accuracy over the years, using the same belt. The unique belt surface is specially designed for poultry products and will keep the products in place and prevents them from moving during portioning.

Automatic adjustment

The cutting angle can be adjusted without the need for tools. A patented system automatically adjusts the gap between the infeed and outfeed belt for the optimum spacing

Up-gradable to a PORTIO 3A portion cutting machine

On larger chicken or turkey fillets that weigh 250 gr or more and have a more rounded shape, it is beneficial to add 2 side cameras for an optimal and accurate scan.  

Adding options

Specially designed options can be bolted on to the portioner at any later stage for specific applications. A laser line can be projected on the infeed belt to indicate to the operator the correct placement of the chicken fillets. The density scale compensates for variation in injected poultry products. The Automatic Product Holder prevents chicken fillets from moving during portioning. The retractable outfeed belt allows the head to be separated or tail to be trimmed from the center cuts, and can be combined with a blow-off system.

User-friendly software interface

Intuitive programming of cutting patterns and fast and easy fine-tuning of the programs to get the maximum yields. The visual presentation of the cutting pattern on a large screen and the and weight indicators makes it easy to adjust the program which maximizes the yield while minimizing give-away.

MATRIX P

The MATRIX P software collects all production data from the PORTIO and allows production reports to be generated. MATRIX P enables users to remotely make programs offline and monitor the status of the poultry slicing machine through an event log.       

Extremely hygienic, easy to clean

The portion cutter complies with the most stringent hygiene standards. The open structure of the portioner allows it to be cleaned using a pressure washer and disinfected on the inside and outside. A CIP (Cleaning In Place) system rinses the belts. All cabinets with electrics and electronics have a unique air-drying system to prevent the build up of condensation. Belts can be removed with a quick release, without the need for tools.

Service

The portion cutter can be connected to the internet, allowing the status of the portioner to be diagnosed from a remote service point.

Low noise

Operators appreciate the good working environment around the PORTIO, thanks to its low noise levels
