Innova software for Marel dynamic packing lines

The Marel GEBA SC 125 V dynamic packing line can now be used with Marel’s Innova software, which monitors all key positions in the line and enables users to control processing.

Marel says its standard slicing and packing lines for salmon retail packing have undergone development and improvement to meet demands for better quality, yield and capacity. Using the Marel Vision scanning system, the GEBA SC 125 V slicer, for example, is capable of cutting fillets in such a way as to ensure full utilisation of the raw material.

The Innova Production Monitoring software option makes the dynamic packing line smarter and more efficient. All data on fillets, pieces, weight, trim, etc are registered and used for creating reports, or for traceability by logging historical data. Production line weaknesses and strengths can be more easily identified and rectified.

Various solutions are available for either fixed weight or maximum capacity, depending on the slicer. The SC 125 V slicer cuts fixed weight slices, which enables the production of fixed weight boards with high accuracy. This slicer utilises each fillet well, with minimum off-cut in head and tail.

The SC 250 double lane slicer is suitable for high throughput requirements.

For producing retail packs, all Marel slicers can be delivered with different packing line set-ups, as required. A dynamic packing line with synchronised feed belt speed is available for both the GEBA SC 125 V and GEBA SC 250 slicers. This packing solution is in sync with the out-feed belt of the slicer, regardless of which slicing program is being used.

The dynamic packing line makes it possible to exploit the product spacing feature to the full, creating an efficient flow for retail packing.
