of processing of protein is used in the
production of protein concentrates. It
involves dry milling technology, which
is used to reduce the particle size of raw
material into fine particles. This method
is used to process pulses and cereal,
which is correlated to their specific tissue
architecture and milling behaviour. The
process relies on differential particle size
and density within the milled flour. Once

North America is projected to account

The North American market accounted for
the largest share in 2020 due to the pres-

Six reasons to Automate turkey Processing

In the turkey industry, Marel is the unique single-stop solution to automating

In terms of turkey processing, the main
welfare advance has been in stunning,
where the use of controlled atmospheres is
beginning to make inroads into traditional
electrical stunning. With a controlled atmo-
sphere stunning system, live turkeys are no
longer hung fully conscious to the killing
line. This development benefits not just the
birds but also the operatives hanging them.
Marel offers a multi-stage CAS system,
where birds are conveyed smoothly into
atmospheres progressively richer in CO2.
Marel also adds oxygen to the mix and hu-
midifies it, ensuring that the anesthetization
process happens gradually and smoothly.

Combining controlled atmosphere stunning
with the Marel GP containerized live bird
handling system offers optimal wel-
fare-friendly conditions for transport from
the growing farm to the processing plant
and induction into the process itself. On
arrival at the processing plant, live birds
are unloaded automatically in a single
