category AMF-i HD antici Today's broilers are getting bigger and heavier all over the world. It's not just in the US where 'big birds' are reared. Average chicken weights have increased markedly in South-America, Europe, Australia and Asia too. This is an unstoppable trend with quite some consequences for poultry processors. They have to adapt their systems to heavier weights and larger products such as breast fillets. Marel anticipated this trend with the development of its AMF-i HD system, an intelligent breast cap filleting system suitable for today's and future weight ranges. 4 Average processing weights have increased in recent years and this trend will continue. Current processing systems are reaching the limits of their working range. There is little margin left. Shift upwards A regular AMF-i filleting system can cope with today's usual breast cap weights and still have some margin left. With increasing bird weights, an HD version of AMF-i is needed to restore the margin. Compared to a regular AMF-i, AMF-i HD's processing range at the top end shifts upwards. Independent intelligence Thanks to the concept's modularity, any existing AMF-i system can be turned into an HD version. The system's intelligence
