MEYN/SYSTEMATE CHICKEN CUT UP LINE

• Processing whole chickens into various cuts for retail or further processing.
• High-volume poultry processing plants requiring automated cutting solutions.
• Facilities aiming to improve yield and consistency in chicken portioning.
• Operations handling both broiler and hen processing.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 6,000 to 12,000 birds per hour, depending on configuration and specific modules.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage requirements based on motor count and size.

Footprint

A complete cut-up line can require a significant linear footprint, typically ranging from 15 to 30 metres, plus space for access and maintenance.

Materials of construction

Components in contact with product are typically made from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., AISI 304) for hygiene and durability.

Water consumption

Significant water usage is typical for cleaning and sanitation, often requiring high-pressure washing systems.

Maintenance requirements

Regular maintenance includes blade sharpening/replacement, bearing checks, chain lubrication, and general sanitation, typically requiring daily and weekly schedules.

Cutting modules

Commonly found modules include wing tip, whole wing, opener, front halve, leg cutter, and leg quarter, with modularity allowing for customisation.

• What types of chickens can this line process?

  This type of MEYN Systemate line is typically designed to process a range of bird sizes, commonly handling both broilers and hens, as indicated by the seller.

• Is this line suitable for specific cut requirements?

• What is involved in installing a used cut-up line?

• How difficult is it to source spare parts for a MEYN Systemate line?

• What level of refurbishment should I expect from a 'refurbished' line?

Food processing cutters and dicers are valued for consistent product sizing and improved throughput in commercial kitchens and production facilities. Buyers typically prioritise robust construction, ease of cleaning, and reliable blade systems when purchasing used models. The equipment maintains strong reputation for durability across multiple shift operations. Key considerations include motor condition, blade sharpness, and safety guard integrity. Well-maintained units from established manufacturers generally deliver reliable performance at lower capital cost than new alternatives.
