Drives, motors and PLCs for meat, poultry and seafood

Keeping production moving with food safety and efficiency in mind 

Producing the quality meat, poultry and seafood that consumers demand involves a wide range of different processes. Hygiene, traceability, efficiency and sustainability are all vital ingredients in supplying safe products for the markets and healthy profits for your business.

Main processes include cutting, grinding, mixing and cooling, supported by conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors, evaporators and others. Our drives, motors, softstarters and mechanical power transmission products ensure your plant runs reliably and efficiently. Motors specifically designed for food and splash zones help you meet rigorous hygiene requirements, ensuring high food safety. Drives with built-in safe torque off keep your personnel safe in applications like cutters and grinders and ABB AbilityTM Condition Monitoring protects personnel from potentially dangerous machinery. Programmable logic controllers (PLC) can deliver integrated control systems that help to provide enhanced visibility and control over the processes within meat, poultry, and seafood production. From trimming to cutting, grinding to cooling, and freezing to packaging, you can depend on ABB solutions to save energy, improve productivity and increase safety.

Safety. Efficiency. Reliability. Everything counts when producing quality meat, poultry and seafood.

ABB’s new hygiene testing lab in Sweden under the microscope

A new state-of-the-art lab has just opened at the ABB Corporate Research Centre in Västerås, Sweden with the ability to study, test and verify washdown procedures in a fraction of the time it would take under normal manufacturing conditions.

ABB helped meat company to reduce energy on smoking good sausages

In Germany, a sausage maker that has been in business for nearly two centuries was looking for ways to save energy in its production processes. It found that by replacing the fan motors in its smokehouses with ABB’s IE4 motors it could cut the fans’ energy use in half.

ABB drives save £25,000 on energy at duck processing plant

Cherry Valley Farms is the largest manufacturer of duck and duck products in the UK, processing 45,000 ducks per day. Each duck is chilled so the chilling plant is a major part of the factory’s operation and accounts for a high proportion of its operating costs.They explored ways of reducing its energy costs using variable speed AC drives from ABB.
