Marel - Used 2004 Marel IPM 3 X300

The Intelligent Portioning Machine (IPM) combines conveying, weighing and built-in computer vision to produce accurately portioned food products. The IPM is equally well-suited for use in the fish, poultry and meat industries. The IPM3 is ideal for high-value portioning of products. It is suitable for use with salmon, whitefish, whole fish, poultry fillets, and various meat products. Using state-of-the art 3-D laser vision technology, the system automatically evaluates each piece before cutting. The cutting pattern is determined by a cutting program and parameters pre-selected by the production manager. Operating at a speed of up to 8 cuts per second, the IPM3 can perform multiple cutting schemes simultaneously, so increasing throughput and optimizing yields. Simple to operate and easy to access and clean, the IPM3 runs entirely on electricity, with no need for air connections for pneumatics. The unit's system of sprocket-driven perforated belts ensures that the belts never have to be adjusted and gravity tension is always even and correct. The benefits of using the IPM are faster, more accurate portioning, higher yields, more throughput, increased productivity and reduced labor cost.
