Preparation for chicken nuggets

Our specialized full-line preparation solution will be an excellent first step for you to configure the optimum production conditions for nuggets of the best quality. High-end mixing and grinding machines work together to prepare your meat in the best possible way, resulting in uniform and tasty end products.

After pre-grinding, our vacuum mixer gently mixes the product and, if necessary, adjusts the temperature with nitrogen or CO2. After mixing, the nuggets are typically formed in a JBT Marel RevoPortioner.
After finishing the batch, all data may be automatically stored in a report. The recipe can be adjusted via the control panel from batch to batch as required.

To be able to make uniform nuggets, it is essential that the meat has the proper structure and a consistent temperature after the forming process. JBT Marel has the experience, and the people to design the ideal line for this purpose.

Our online recipe monitoring system takes care of adding the correct raw material to the batch at the right time, to obtain a uniform product with the perfect texture.

Feeding:	Infeed Conveyor or Loader
