Marel has launched a new intelligent vent cutter, which it says is the first of its kind. Until now, vent-cutting performance relied mostly on operator skills to adjust the settings, but the VC-i requires no human intervention or assessment at all.
Designed to optimise hygiene, efficiency, and automation, the VC-i eliminates manual adjustments and ensures precise, contamination-free vent cutting. With AI-powered vision technology, this intelligent system monitors performance at the highest speeds.
The Marel VC-i vent cutter removes the cloaca without touching the intestines, thereby preventing any soiling or contamination.
At line speeds of 15,000 bph, the human eye cannot assess vent cutting quality, The new system eliminates human error, ensures consistent, high-quality results, even when bird weights and sizes vary significantly within a flock.
