Marel Smartline Twin Lane Grader

• Precisely sorting and grading fresh or frozen fish fillets and whole fish by weight.
• Grading poultry parts (e.g., wings, drumsticks, breasts) to meet specific weight targets for packaging.
• Sorting red meat portions (e.g., steaks, chops) for consistent pack sizes in processing lines.
• Handling and grading various fruit and vegetable products based on weight for retail or further processing.
• Batching products into predetermined weight categories for efficient downstream packaging or distribution.

Typical throughput

For this class of Marel Smartline twin-lane grader, throughput can typically range from 100 to 250 products per minute per lane, depending on product size and weight range.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate current draw for motors and controls.

Weighing accuracy

Marel graders are known for high accuracy; typically, units offer precision within +/- 0.5g to +/- 2g, depending on the product and speed.

Number of discharge stations

While configurable, Smartline graders commonly offer between 6 and 16 discharge stations for sorting into various weight grades or batches.

Construction material

Equipment designed for food processing, such as this, is typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Typical footprint

A twin-lane grader with associated infeed and discharge conveyors can typically require a floor space of 5 to 8 metres in length and 1.5 to 2.5 metres in width, excluding operator access.

• What kind of products can this Marel Smartline grader handle?

  This type of grader is primarily designed for fresh and frozen food products, including fish, poultry, meat portions, and certain fruits and vegetables, sorting them by weight.

• Is it possible to reconfigure the number of discharge stations?

• What maintenance is typically required for a grader of this type?

• Can this grader be integrated into an existing processing line?

• What are the benefits of a twin-lane grader over a single-lane unit?

Sorting and grading equipment is valued for improving product consistency and processing efficiency. Buyers typically seek machines in good mechanical condition with minimal wear on critical components like belts, motors and calibration systems. Common strengths include reliable performance when properly maintained, cost savings versus new equipment, and compatibility with existing production lines. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Buyers should inspect electrical systems thoroughly and verify spare parts availability before purchasing used units.
