Ishida Orbicote uses automation to process meat, poultry and fish quickly, weighing products before marination and rejecting under or overweight product to avoid mess and waste and cleaning downtime.<\/p>\n
\u201cOrbicote has successfully overcome the classic marination problems of waste and mess,\u201d commented Nick Clark, Ishida Europe\u2019s product manager for Screw Feed Weighers.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe marination process can now be much more effectively and accurately controlled, delivering valuable cost-savings while enabling manufacturers to more easily expand their product ranges and respond flexibly to market demands and opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Multihead weighing<\/strong><\/p>\n The processing system combines Ishida\u2019s multihead weighing technology with a series of 12 mini-drums, six mounted on each of two interlocking wheels.<\/p>\n Each accurately-weighed portion is fed into an individual mini-drum where it is tumbled with a set dose of marinade, which is placed into the mini-drums using a volumetric filling system. This ensures that product is thoroughly coated before the contents are cleanly dispatched into the packing system.<\/p>\n The mini-drums are positioned closely together in an orbital arrangement, which is synchronised with the weigher and packing system, for example a tray sealer. This enables the Orbicote to operate at speeds of around 55 packs per minute for a typical application such as marinated chicken pieces.<\/p>\n Reducing waste <\/strong><\/p>\n Weighing products before marination avoids the waste associated with marinating bulk amounts in large drums and then weighing them \u2018wet\u2019, where the marinade adheres to the weighing equipment.<\/p>\n Ishida multihead weighers enable over-or underweight combinations to be detected and rejected simultaneously.<\/p>\n If a downstream stoppage occurs, Orbicote can act as a buffer and then take up where it left off without being reset. If a tray is not ready to receive a product discharge, the contents remain in the mini-drums and are only released once a tray is in place. Unfilled trays are briefly paused below the fill point until filled, ensuring no empty trays clutter the line or the sealing system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ishida Europe has developed a marination system for protein products that aims to refine efficiency and consistency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11179,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-11178","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11178","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11178"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11178\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11180,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11178\/revisions\/11180"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11178"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11178"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11178"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.worldfishing.net\/icefish-conference\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=11178"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
