MAREL/STORK - 2010 MAREL/STORK Ventcutter/Opener VOC24

• Used in poultry processing plants for automated vent removal and opening.
• Suitable for processing various poultry types, particularly smaller birds like spring chicken.
• Integrates into existing slaughter lines to enhance efficiency and hygiene.
• Applicable in facilities aiming to minimise manual handling and improve product quality.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 6,000 to 12,000 birds per hour, depending on configuration and product size.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with appropriate motor power for pneumatic and mechanical operations.

Construction material

Typically constructed from stainless steel and food-grade plastics to meet hygiene standards and ensure durability in a processing environment.

Footprint

The footprint for a combined vent cutter and opener is generally compact for its function, commonly requiring a linear space of approximately 1.5 to 2.5 metres within a processing line.

Water consumption

Units typically utilise water for cleaning and lubrication, with consumption varying based on operational hours and cleaning cycles.

Air pressure

Pneumatic components commonly require a compressed air supply, typically at 6-8 bar.

• What are the primary benefits of a combined vent cutter and opener?

  A combined unit streamlines the evisceration process by performing two critical steps simultaneously. This reduces labour, minimises the risk of contamination, and improves overall line efficiency.

• Is this machine suitable for different bird sizes?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of equipment?

• How does this machine minimise meat loss and intestine damage?

• Are spare parts readily available for Marel Stork equipment?

Slaughtering equipment holds strong reputation for durability and consistent performance when properly maintained. Buyers typically value models from established manufacturers known for reliable construction. When purchasing used units, inspectors should prioritise equipment condition, sanitation compliance, and maintenance history. Key strengths include robust build quality, availability of spare parts, and established service support within the meat processing industry. Potential buyers should verify compliance with current food safety regulations and assess wear on critical components before commitment.
