Tray diverter for packaging line efficiency

Optimize your packaging line with an advanced tray diverter designed to streamline sorting and packing processes, ensuring seamless operations and reducing bottlenecks for high-speed production environments.

The TD9 Tray Diverter from Marel revolutionizes the efficiency of your food processing operations. Designed for poultry, meat, and seafood processors, this versatile diverter seamlessly integrates into high-speed production lines. It uses precision diverting to optimize grading and packing, effectively reducing bottlenecks and ensuring traceability at the pack, box, and pallet levels. The TD9 operates in fixed count or fixed weight grading modes, allowing you to choose between filling trays based on piece count or weight, ensuring optimal packing efficiency. The system can handle various end-products, including chicken breasts, pork chops, and salmon fillets, while offering real-time data communication through Marel’s Innova software. This integration further enhances operational insight by tracking batch information and generating totalized labels. Designed with easy removal and replacement of non-conforming packs, the TD9 minimizes rework and maximizes throughput, making it an essential component for modern food processing facilities aiming for continuous, high-speed operations.
