Information
Today, QSR, retail and food service customers make rapidly changing demands: one day, they request fat-free portions, while the previous day, a bit of fat was acceptable. They may want weight and shape-controlled portions one day, and dimension-specific portions the next.
More possibilities than you ever imagined
The DSI Waterjet Portioning System allows you to cut shaped portions and trim away fat. It is easy to quickly change applications with the push of a button. A DSI portioning system is sized to match your production needs. Its automated operation reduces labor, repetitive motion injuries, while ensuring consistent performance and enhancing food safety.
The DSI system can handle butterflies, fillets, tenderloins and deboned leg meat as input material, to turn into virtually any portion shape—ranging from steaks, strips, nuggets, cubes, and dices to creative forms like magnolias or dinosaurs.
With DSI waterjet cutting, you can precisely tailor products to meet unique consumer tastes across the globe, in Asia, Europe and America. Whether it's kakugiri for the Japanese market, minute steaks for Germany, or QSR nuggets for the USA, you can satisfy any local preference. When faced with complex or specific customer requirements, you can count on JBT Marel to collaborate with your team and find a solution that gives you a competitive advantage.
How does it work?
The DSI Waterjet Portioning System is a multi-lane, multi-cell water cutter, which is easily extendable. Every cell has two waterjets.
First, the DSI Waterjet Portioning System scans your products to locate fat and to determine shape, thickness, weight, and many other attributes. Then, DSI Q-Link™ portioning software optimizes a cut strategy for each individual piece of raw product. Finally, the cutter goes to work: the computer-positioned high-pressure waterjets cut complex shapes that make each piece as valuable as possible to maximize profitability.
If you can sketch it, DSI can portion it
With the ability to quickly switch between applications at the push of a button, the DSI systems offer unmatched flexibility. The systems are scalable to match your production needs. By automating the processing workflow, the DSI systems reduce labor costs, minimize repetitive motion injuries, ensure consistent performance, and enhance food safety throughout your operations.
The DSI Waterjet Portioning Systems require no positioning at the input. The waterjet accurately cuts all types of pieces of meat according to the programmed pattern, regardless of how it's placed on the belt. There are virtually no off-cuts; every piece, no matter how small, can be portioned into a useful and valuable product, resulting in an absolute minimal giveaway.
