Gainco launches new high-speed poultry portion classifier
US firm Gainco introduces a new product which will help accelerate speed in-motion sizing as well as processing wider variety of parts distribution designed to aid easy access to components to manufacturers.
The new 9-inch AccuSizer portion classifier is specifically designed for handling items such as breast fillets and butterflies, wings, tenders, drums, thighs, whole legs and other smaller food portions weighing less than two pounds and shorter than 10 inches in length. It can process both fresh or quick-frozen products, said the company.
The units are said to be both cost-effective and user-friendly with the aid of IP69K-rated touchscreen interface with graphical displays and multi-language communications. The all-new tubeless frame design reduces vibration, enhances bacteria control and reduces cleaning time.
Other notable design features claimed include a pull-off arm that reduces the incidence of product damage during discharge, and conveyor belting, produced by Habasit AG Corporation, that provides durability at the weigh deck while also improving sanitation.
