Intelligent Portioning Machine

Overview

Food Service and Case Ready


All models use a computerized vision system to accurately measure the volume of the product and a cutting blade to cut the product into portions. On all models, even greater accuracy can be achived by adding a special inweighing unit in front of the machine to weigh the product accurately before portioning. Similarly, a weight grader can easily be applied after the portioning machine to grade and/or batch the portions. The IPM integrates easily with MPS, Marel's production control system.

The IPM is accurate, reliable and fast, hygienic and easy to clean. The benefits of using the IPM are faster, more accurate portioning, higher yields, more throughput, increased productivity and reduced labor cost.

Precision


Suitable for use with salmon, whitefish and almost any other species, the Marel IPM lll LaserEye Intelligent Portioning Machine is the ideal solution for high-value portioning of fillets into pre-defined weights and shapes. Using the latest in 3-D laser vision technology, the IPM lll LaserEye automatically evaluates each piece before cutting, and then calculates the most economic cut configuration based on parameters pre-selected by the production manager, using the unit’s M3000 controller.

Performance


Like all Marel equipment, the IPM lll LaserEye is capable of operating as an independent unit, or as part of a complete Marel processing system. For optimal results in whitefish processing, two IPM machines are typically used on each processing line, one as a precutter and the other for portioning final portions. At the same time, experience has shown that using the IPM lll LaserEye in a system incorporating Marel intelligent batching can enable processors to achieve up to 100% fillet utilisation, with virtually no give-away.

Productivity


Operated at its rated capacity, the Marel IPM lll LaserEye dual-lane machine can perform the work of up to 8-10 people. Robust and highly reliable, the IPM lll LaserEye requires significantly less maintenance than conventional machines. Easily adaptable to new products, it cuts to a level of accuracy and consistency no human could ever hope to achieve, meaning higher yields, less trim, improved product quality, increased throughput, and a short payback time.
