MAREL/STORK Stork NTech HD

• Large-scale poultry processing plants requiring automated slaughtering and evisceration.
• Facilities focused on high-throughput chicken processing.
• Operations that include subsequent cut-up and deboning stages.
• Businesses looking to upgrade or expand existing poultry processing lines.

Typical capacity

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

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a robust industrial three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with significant power draw for motors, heaters, and control systems.

Footprint

A complete line, including chilling and cut-up, will require a substantial industrial footprint, often spanning several hundred square metres for optimal layout and operation.

Water consumption

Significant water usage is typical for scalding, washing, and general hygiene throughout the processing line.

Material construction

Components are typically constructed from stainless steel and food-grade plastics to meet hygiene standards and ensure durability in a wet processing environment.

Automation level

NTech HD systems are designed for high levels of automation across stunning, bleeding, scalding, plucking, and evisceration stages.

Chilling method

Air chilling lines are commonly integrated, offering efficient cooling and often preferred for certain product quality outcomes.

• What is included in a 'complete refurbished' system?

  A complete refurbished system typically means the core processing units for slaughtering, evisceration, chilling, and often cut-up, have been serviced, repaired, and brought back to operational standards. Buyers should always verify the exact scope of refurbishment with the seller.

• Are spare parts readily available for Marel Stork NTech HD equipment?

• What are the typical installation requirements for a system of this size?

• Does this system comply with current food safety regulations?

• What kind of maintenance is required for a system like this?

Slaughtering equipment holds strong reputation for durability and consistent performance when properly maintained. Buyers typically value models from established manufacturers known for reliable construction. When purchasing used units, inspectors should prioritise equipment condition, sanitation compliance, and maintenance history. Key strengths include robust build quality, availability of spare parts, and established service support within the meat processing industry. Potential buyers should verify compliance with current food safety regulations and assess wear on critical components before commitment.
