INTRODUCTIoN
The world population continues to grow and the level of prosperity in
upcoming markets is increasing rapidly. Global demand for animal protein
is expected to grow accordingly. More mouths to feed means major
market opportunities for your business, but it also brings serious
challenges. How can you feed the world responsibly without jeopardizing
your competitive edge and business continuity?
Continuously increasing feed prices, difficulties in finding – and foremost
keeping – skilled and motivated personnel as well as the compliance with
hygiene regulations and environmental restrictions, make it all the more
important to raise your efficiency in getting the most out of your process.
Working with Meyn means you can rely on intelligent, innovative,
customized and sustainable solutions that enable you to meet the
challenges of today’s market and tomorrow’s society. Your success is our
goal. Every day, all over the world.

SLAUGHTERING
Improved tail feather puller
The Meyn tail feather puller now removes the long tail feathers from the tails more effectively.
Removing the tail feathers with a dedicated plucker makes the plucking process more effective
as the main pluckers can be set to work in other areas of the carcass in a more gentle process.
The tail feather puller consists of two rollers that are mounted close together. The position of the
rollers is set in such a way that the tail feathers are caught in between the rollers, effectively
pulling the feathers from the tail.
New developments
The design of the tail feather puller has been
significantly improved:
Improved bearing construction for the pulling
rollers. This new design significantly improves the
lifetime of the bearings compared to the old design
(less maintenance).
Improved cleanability and maintainability because
of the new hinge construction to rotate the module
off-line.
The height and the distance to the product
can easily be adjusted during production to
compensate for different size products.
An open construction to prevent accumulating
feathers.
Adjustable product guides to support size
variations.
Improved in-feed flights on the rollers, to prevent
the thighs from being damaged.
Improved machine design for maintenance (grease
nipples and better access to components).
A stand alone supporting frame.

DEBONING
Further increasing your
profitability with the new
back meat harvesting solution for
the Rapid Plus breast deboner M3.0
The all new back meat harvesting solution saves on labor and further increases your profitability in breast
deboning. The solution allows you to automatically harvest the back meat separately with an undamaged
structure giving it a unique presentation. When opting for back meat harvesting on the Rapid Plus, you will be
able to increase the amount of back meat harvested, save on labor and reduce trimming losses.
Example of calculation of additional revenues with the back meat harvesting solution: (calculation is based on
front half processing, one shift per day for one year)
Additional back meat harvested
7 g/bird = 84,000 kg/year x 0,80 Euro =
67,000 Euro
Reduction trim loss (breast meat
removed by trimming back meat)
4 g/bird = 48,000 kg/year x 2,60 Euro =
124,800 Euro
Labor savings
5 people x 25,000 Euro
125,000 Euro
=
Total increase in profitability
316,800 Euro
If you are looking at further improving your profitability and eliminating trimming labor and labor influences,
the new Meyn back meat harvesting solution is the answer.
