Case Study

Colombian Plant Recovers Premium Offal Value with Gentle Evisceration

A chicken slaughter plant in Bogotá was losing 2% of livers and hearts to bile contamination from rough mechanical drawing. Turnkey retrofitted the evisceration line with torque-sensing spoons and a gall bladder isolation shield. The system monitors resistance 200 times per second, halting extraction if abnormal pressure is detected. Contaminated offal packs dropped from 1.9% to 0.04%, adding $190,000 in annual edible offal revenue. Post-evisceration carcass swabs showed a 2.2-log Enterobacteriaceae reduction, supporting a halal certification renewal. The line maintains 12,500 birds per hour with only two operators monitoring HMI displays. Water consumption fell by 1.2 liters per bird due to vacuum offal transport replacing water fluming. The plant achieved a 6-month payback solely from recovered livers and reduced manual rework.

UK Plant Cuts Deboning Labor by Half While Boosting Fillet Yield

A poultry slaughter plant in Norfolk processed 150,000 broilers daily but faced severe labor shortages in the portioning hall. Turnkey installed vision-guided breast and thigh deboners. In-motion 3D cameras map bone structure and guide rotary blades to follow the natural keel curvature, adding 5.5 grams of fillet per bird. Bone fragment complaints fell to 0.01%. Labor dropped from 19 to 9 operators per shift, saving £340,000 annually. Quick-change kits allow switching between whole legs and boneless thighs in two minutes. The integrated CIP system cleans the cutting zone in 10 minutes between shifts. Within three months, overall meat recovery rose by 3.6%, and the plant secured a retail contract for premium diced breast portions due to superior consistency.

South African Plant Achieves EU Air-Chill Export Status

A poultry slaughter plant near Cape Town needed EU export approval but struggled with water-chill carcass quality. Turnkey designed a three-stage air-chill tunnel with humidity control and integrated peracetic acid spray bars. Core temperature drops to 4°C in 45 minutes without water uptake, preserving natural flavor. Microbiological testing confirmed a 2.5-log Campylobacter reduction and a 5-day shelf-life extension. The plant now exports air-chilled whole birds to Europe at a 19% premium. Water savings of 1.5 liters per bird reduced operational costs. Condensate is recycled into the scalder, further improving efficiency. The retrofit was completed in a 12-day shutdown and passed the EU veterinary audit on the first attempt, unlocking new premium markets.
