LINCO Grader

• Sorting whole poultry by weight in processing plants.
• Batching birds for packaging or further processing.
• Grading poultry to meet specific market or customer requirements.
• Integrating into automated poultry processing lines.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 4,000 to 12,000 birds per hour (BPH), depending on the model and configuration.

Number of stations

Units of this type typically feature between 8 and 24 grading stations, allowing for multiple weight categories.

Product type

Designed primarily for whole birds, but some models can be adapted for other large poultry items.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage varying by model.

Footprint

The physical footprint can be substantial, often requiring a dedicated area of several metres in length and width within a processing facility.

Control system

Units typically feature a PLC-based control system with a user interface for setting grading parameters and monitoring performance.

• What kind of maintenance does a used Linco grader typically require?

  Routine maintenance for a used Linco grader commonly involves checking and replacing wear parts such as belts, bearings, and sensors, along with regular cleaning and lubrication. Calibration of weighing cells is also important.

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

• What are the common spare parts needed for a Linco grader?

• How accurate are these graders for whole birds?

• Is specialist knowledge required to operate a Linco grader?

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.
