Marel 12 station Grader Line

• Precisely sorting and grading various food products by weight, such as poultry, fish, meat portions, and certain fruits or vegetables.
• Streamlining production lines in fish processing plants for accurate portioning and batching of frozen or fresh fillets.
• Optimising efficiency in meat processing facilities by grading cuts for consistent weight and quality.
• Integrating into food manufacturing operations requiring high-speed, automated sorting prior to packaging or further processing.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can typically range from 60 to over 200 items per minute, depending on product size and target weight.

Number of stations

Units of this type commonly feature 6 to 16 grading stations, allowing for multiple weight categories or destinations.

Power supply

Typically requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with specific amperage varying by configuration.

Product weight range

Graders of this design are generally suitable for products ranging from approximately 20g to 5kg, though specific load cells dictate the exact range.

Construction material

Commonly constructed from stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304 or 316) for hygiene and durability in food processing environments.

Footprint

A 12-station inline grader line, especially with ancillary equipment like a pacer and bin tipper, will require a significant linear footprint, typically over 5-8 metres in length.

Control system

Modern units feature advanced PLC-based control systems, often with touch-screen interfaces for programming and monitoring.
