Paw Recovery System

Reliable Tracking for Simple Paw Recovery

The JBT Paw Recovery System precisely tracks chicken paws after they are separated from the rest of the bird, allowing paws to be automatically discarded in the event a USDA/NPIS official rejects a chicken on the evisceration line.

Features & Benefits

  • Precise Tracking with Custom Limits – Sensors on the picking and evisceration lines are linked to paw lines for seamless tracking, allowing paws to be automatically routed to the reject gate when necessary. Custom limits can also be set to reject additional paws before and after the flagged set as a failsafe to ensure they are discarded.
  • Automatic or Manual Rejection – The JBT Paw Recovery System can route paws to the reject gate automatically (if a bird is flagged as missing from the kill or evisceration line) or with the push of a button (USDA/NPIS rejection). In addition, the system accounts for reject tests routinely conducted by USDA inspectors or plant management.
  • Comprehensive Reporting to Track Compliance, Monitor Efficiency – Reporting within the JBT Paw Recovery System gives an accurate understanding of the number of paws flagged for rejection as well as the number of paws rejected overall due to set limits. The totals report shows rejects due to USDA/NPIS manual rejects, as well as paws rejected because the evisceration line was down or behind, or a bird on the kill line was missing on the evisceration line.

Efficiency Monitoring Systems

You Can’t Improve What You Don’t Understand

The MARS Efficiency Counter Systems utilize a proprietary touchscreen controller, custom software and precise sensors to measure line efficiency and product efficiency, alerting management to problems for a fast resolution that minimizes losses.

Counters, which provide a line speed and product rate per minute allowing the desired speed to be achieved, can be used in multiple first processing areas including kill lines, evisceration lines, salvage lines, cut-up lines and debone lines.

Features & Benefits

  • Track Line and Product Status
  • Lines down, slowed or stopped and the reason based on code
  • No product on the line/decrease in product rate
  • Shift output
  • Immediate or time-defined (1, 2 or 5-minute intervals) text or email alerts can be set up to alert management to production declines or maintenance to equipment problems that require attention.
  • Redundant Sensors on Picking Lines Guarantee Accuracy
  • We utilize redundant sensors on every picking line counter system to provide an accuracy guarantee of 99.6%. An end-of-day report is automatically generated to show any discrepancies between the primary and redundant sensor.
