Marel TBL3000 Target Batch Grader

• Precisely batching fresh or frozen meat, poultry, and fish products to a target weight.
• Grading seafood, such as prawns or fillets, into specific weight categories for packaging.
• Optimising raw material utilisation in food processing by creating exact weight batches for further processing.
• Preparing fixed-weight retail packs of various food items to minimise giveaway.
• Sorting and grading non-food items where precise weight batching is critical.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 60 to 120 packs per minute, depending on product size and target weight.

Target weight range

Units of this type commonly handle target batch weights from 100g up to several kilograms, configurable to specific production needs.

Product dimensions

Suitable for individual product pieces that can fit on the grading trays, typically up to 300mm in length and 200mm in width.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with an appropriate power rating for the motor and controls.

Air supply

Often requires a clean, dry compressed air supply for pneumatic components, typically 6-8 bar.

Construction material

Typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel for hygiene and durability in wet processing environments.

Footprint

The footprint for a grader of this capacity commonly ranges from 2.5m to 4m in length, depending on the configuration and number of outfeeds.
