Weighing and distribution system for poultry processing
Optimize your production line by ensuring precise product weight and distribution, significantly reducing overfill losses in your meat, poultry, and seafood operations, while accommodating fluctuating processing needs.

The MARS Weighing and Distribution System from JBT Control Systems offers a versatile solution for poultry, meat, and seafood processors aiming to prevent overfilling and ensure precise product distribution. This system stands out due to its flexible integration with existing scales and MARS hoppers, addressing varying processing needs and product mixes. Operable in both continuous and manual modes, it pre-weighs to a set standard, with manual filling options to enhance accuracy. Ideal for applications in processing facilities handling chicken breast fillets, ground turkey, shrimp portions, and other solid food products, it seamlessly integrates into production lines to boost efficiency.
Equipped with a user-friendly, touchscreen controller, it manages up to four weighing systems, pushing data to a Microsoft SQL Server database for real-time monitoring and reporting. Adaptable to scale systems of any configuration, it supports adjustments in product mixing by percentage, weight, or manual override to accommodate daily operational changes. Designed to fit into high-speed environments, the system’s configurable setup ensures it meets the demands of varied production requirements while maintaining compliance with industry standards. With engineering support for customization, it remains a vital asset for optimizing processing lines in the food industry.
