- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 4,000 to 8,000 birds per hour (BPH).
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically require a three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Cutting modules
- Modular systems like this often include various cutting stations for wing tips, whole wings, front halves, leg cutters, and leg quarters.
- Material construction
- Equipment in this category is typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.
- Suitable bird types
- Automated cut-up lines are generally designed to process both broilers and hens, with potential for adjustment based on bird size.
- Footprint
- A complete cut-up line can require a significant linear footprint, which varies depending on the number and arrangement of modules.
