THURNE PortionX Meat Portioner

Friday, 18 March, 2022 | Supplied by: Linco Food Systems


Thurne-Middleby Ltd has added a new meat portioner to its range of slicers and portioners.

The PortionX meat portioner was developed with high-volume case-ready beef and pork processing in mind, and uses a combination of new, innovative technologies to provide performance improvements.

The portioner uses new product conditioning and scanning technology to ensure consistent handling of variable product and to optimise portioning performance for good weight control and maximum yield.

Multi-dimensional active forming patent pending technology enhances the portioner’s ability to gently form primals of variable size. This eliminates the need for dedicated forming moulds for each primal. Only a small number of change parts is needed to handle a variety of primals within a size range, with fewer changeovers required.

Dynamic primal positioning and active product support provide product control for maximum yield and good laydown. The gentle blade action of the orbiting head produces high-quality, evenly cut portions — from individual and layout steaks to clearly defined shingled groups of thinner cuts such as minute steaks.

The meat portioner can be integrated into existing lines, where processors can benefit from a reduction in downstream manual handling. The steaks and shingled groups produced are ready for packing with high on-weight rates, eliminating the need for manual collation and styling, and minimising rework required to achieve target pack weights.

The portioner will make its debut at the Middleby Food Processing and Packing Brands booth at IFFA 2022, Hall 8, booth E06. Thurne is represented in Australia by Linco Food Systems.
