MAREL/STORK Stork NTech HD

• High-volume poultry processing plants for automated evisceration.
• Facilities requiring efficient removal of internal organs from chickens.
• Operations focused on maintaining hygiene and throughput in primary processing.
• Integration into existing slaughter lines for improved automation.

Typical capacity

Units of this type commonly handle high throughputs, typically ranging from 6,000 to over 12,000 birds per hour, depending on configuration and line speed.

Power supply

For this class of industrial equipment, a three-phase electrical supply is typically required, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage requirements varying by motor configuration.

Construction material

Equipment for food processing is typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) to ensure hygiene, corrosion resistance, and ease of cleaning.

Water consumption

Automated evisceration lines typically require a significant supply of potable water for cleaning and operation, with consumption rates varying based on line speed and cleaning cycles.

Footprint

The overall footprint for a complete evisceration line can be substantial, requiring a dedicated area within a processing hall, often several metres in length and width.

Automation level

The MAREL/STORK NTech HD series is known for its high level of automation, designed to minimise manual intervention during the evisceration process.

• What is included in a 'chicken evisceration line'?

  A chicken evisceration line typically includes a series of automated machines designed to remove internal organs from poultry carcasses, often comprising vent cutters, eviscerators, and final inspection stations.

• Is this equipment suitable for other poultry types?

• What maintenance is typically required for an evisceration line?

• Are spare parts readily available for MAREL/STORK equipment?

• What are the typical installation requirements for such a line?

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.
