F-line mark II: improved hygienic performance
31-08-2006
F-line mark II was specially designed to improve hygienic performance even further. Cleaning of slaughter tools is now being performed in a closed compartment ensuring a more efficient result. Total plant contamination is also further reduced as less aerosols are being produced during the cleaning.
Research has shown a consisted contamination reduction (improving shelf life), yield improvements (more saleable meat) and labour reduction (lower production costs) which would under normal commercial circumstances result in a short payback period (
The MPS F-line: automate pre-cutting, belly opening, rectum drilling, neck cutting, leaflard removal, splitting and marking. These robots take over the hard tasks in the evisceration line. Those are employable from 200 to 1,250 pigs per hour. At this moment more than 200 F-line tools are installed world-wide, including Europe, North America, China and Japan.
MPS designed and built F-line for kill floor use so it is NOT a modified industrial robot.
Existing F-linemark I can be upgraded to the hygienic performance of the new F-line mark II.
