Integrated solutions
The best solution for all our clients
During the worldwide deterioration in the
investment climate at the beginning of
last year, Stork Poultry Processing, with
an adequately full portfolio of orders for
the first half of 2009, was not in bad
shape. On top of that, in the second
quarter we saw an increase in the number
of investments, particularly in Europe.
Nevertheless we could not avoid bringing
in a cost-cutting program.
We chose, however, not to save on the
innovation budget and not to cut costs on
sales and service. New product
development and a high level of service

Why automatic fillet handling?
The “Best of Both” principle comes particularly to

handling and labor costs.
because of our many years experience of working
together that we have been able to come up so
quickly with our “Integrated Solutions”. These are
solutions which make it even easier for you to have
full in-line control of all part processes. “Integrated
Solutions” stands for a wide and complete range of
products, which tune all processes (for example,
killing to bone detection in fillets and automatic
weighing and packing) to each other optimally in a
controlled manner. What is more, integral control
techniques allow better management of yield

completely automated hi-tech line or a flexible
With the introduction of the in-line
automatic fillet handling solution, Stork
Poultry Processing and Marel present a
synergy of two great products. The
completely redesigned SensorX system
now works together in perfect harmony
with FHF-XB, Stork’s filleting and
de-boning system, and with downstream
packing solutions. This ‘integrated
solution’ is the new industrial benchmark
for in-line, automated fillet processing.
It ensures that yield is optimized still
further and that quality will fully match
customer specification and food safety
considerations. At the same time it does
this more cheaply with lower labor and
product handling costs.
Automatic fillet handling connects different in-line
processing units such that products are not
touched if not necessary and are positioned
correctly for the next processing step. If a product
is deemed suitable after step one, it will be
transported directly to the next step in the process.
In this way ‘human interference’ is limited to a
minimum. Furthermore, automatic product handling
always presents fillets to the inspector or trimmer
in the same accurate way. This enables quality
inspection and trimming to be done very efficiently.
Automatic fillet handling is a solution, which
streamlines your process. It will interface perfectly
with, for example, the Marel RoboBatcher. The
system is modular and flexible. It brings synergy to
the FHF-XB and the SensorX. An almost limitless
combination of modules is possible to produce the

fillet and also such products as chickenburgers. We

“The innovative character of Stork Poultry Processing
and Marel really appeals. What is being exhibited at
VIV exudes strength. The complete fillet handling line
with the FHF, the SensorX and the RoboBatcher is
particularly impressive. It shows a number of great
machines from Stork Poultry Processing and Marel.
It’s the perfect combination.”
With the slogan “Expanding Processing Horizons” our contacts worldwide were
invited to visit our booth at VIV Europe 2010 and to look at the latest innovative
developments. Our extensive range of new and innovative solutions gives
customers the possibility of broadening their horizons, improving the quality and
efficiency of their processes and of profiting from new possibilities for their end

Luv-a-Duck Pty Ltd, Port Melbourne, Australia
Luv-a-Duck is the largest fully integrated duck processor in Australia with a market
share of 55% of the Australian market and a production of some 80,000 ducks per
week. The company located in the South of Australia is experiencing considerable
growth: over 15% last year and an anticipated growth of at least 10% in the
coming year.
Ron Jenkins (CEO): “We are more than a producer of good
duck meat. Our Marketing and Sales Departments have
been promoting our wonderful products for many years
and have spread the news that Duck is easy to cook
utilizing our “Duck Education Centre and Duck Cooking
Classes” which is unique in the world. This hard work has
gathered traction whereby duck is no longer regarded as
an exclusive niche product, but a more regularly
consumed protein available and affordable to everyone.
Indeed the Luv-a-Duck “Mission” is “Making Quality Duck
Accessible to All Australians.
Our ducks are grown in excellent climate conditions and
are fed the best of grains from the wheat belt of Southern
Australia with no added chemicals. Our commitment
throughout the years to best husbandry practice and the
carefully managed selection of birds has been such that
our duck has a low percentage of fat and firm and tasty
meat. We strive for excellence in all we do, are innovative
and have a wide product range to meet the needs of the
demanding modern day consumer.
In that respect Stork Poultry Processing/Marel matches
well with us. They are also a reliable, innovative market
leader offering a wide range of top quality products.
They have a ‘proven track record’ and a strong
commitment to servicing their customers needs. We are
in a remote part of the country and have to solve a lot
ourselves. This requires excellent equipment and being
able to rely on quickly available spare parts and good
service. We are very pleased with our relation with Stork
Poultry Processing.
VIV Europe is an excellent opportunity for us to see the
latest developments and a means of seeking solutions to
improve our plant, increase our capacity, reduce costs
and develop our quality even more.”
“The new opener looks great. The way it works promises
a lot. Being able to switch the machine in and out really
appeals to us. We will definitely think about putting this
machine in our existing line, even though it is not a Stork
Poultry Processing line.”

Van der Linden Poultry Products B.V.,
Beringe, the Netherlands
“This leg dresser can help us to truss whole birds after
chilling without, however, too much effort. This improves
chilling logistics, as we will no longer have to take trussed
birds in crates to the chiller. The leg dresser can improve
both product quality and working conditions for our
staff. It’s a great solution.”
“These wingsticks are a fantastic snack. I understand that they are usually made in-line. Strange, however, that they
are such a success in France.”
Geert Kessels: “Van der Linden Poultry Products is an
integrated concern processing some chiefly 50,000
lighter broilers daily. Whole chicken and portions (breast
caps, wing components and legs for example) are
destined mainly for the Dutch, German and English
markets. The company has its own engineering
department but works together with Stork Poultry
Processing engineers when necessary.”

contact with the people from service. They react quickly.
When we need help, this is arranged; and that is very
important for us. It’s nice for us that we are in the same
Joop Eskes (owner) and Arie Tulp (Sales en Marketing Manager Poultry Industry Center).
Poultry Processing Plant Esbro,
Doetinchem, the Netherlands
Mr. Joop Eskes (owner): “We are a no-nonsense
processing plant in Doetinchem (the Netherlands) and
have grown steadily in the forty years we have been in
business. We are now going to put up a completely
new 12,000 bph Stork Poultry Processing/Marel plant
equipped with the latest technology. Building starts
this year so that we can grow quickly to a production
figure of some 100,000 broilers daily. We will then grow
in stages of 130,000 to 150,000 broilers a day. We want
healthy growth, tuned to the market.
Our aim is above all to achieve better yields (chilling for
example) and radically improve logistics. At the same
time we want to be able to offer our customers an even
wider range of products. To do this, we are going to put
in three cut-up lines, so that we can cut better and with
more variety. Finally, we will probably go into further
processing, packing or filleting more ourselves. We
have left room for this in plans for the new building.
In the new plant we are going to install the new
Multiphase CAS stunning system because we believe in
the importance of animal welfare and because the
technlogy is proven and positive too for the quality of
our products. We want to put in the best in all disciplines
and are very grateful to the people from Emsland that
we could visit their plant in Germany with Stork Poultry
Processing. When you see what is being achieved there,
you can only have respect and admiration. Emsland is
a huge example for us.
“The RoboBatcher is overwhelming. We thought that we
had bought the very latest kit a few years ago; but when
we see this, it is obvious that development is moving
forward at a cracking pace. The machine offers great
possibilities. It saves labor and combines high yield with
minimal give-away.”
“The live demonstration of this machine (I-Cut 22) is
impressive. Its combination of vision system with
quick and very accurate cutting options is very
interesting. The number of menus seems infinite.
Even though infeed is not automatic, the machine
offers more than enough possibilities.”

part of the Netherlands. This makes cooperation

Stork Poultry Processing machines are technically tops.
Sometimes their build is complex, although there have
been improvements in recent years. Today’s machines
are more easily accessible and are great to clean and
maintain. The machines are not cheap but yields couldn’t
be better and their performance is really good”.
Our relationship with Stork Poultry Processing? We
have been very close to Stork Poultry Processing for
many years now. The contact with Herman Verheijen
and management is one of friendship. Of course there
are always points which can be improved upon but in
such cases reaction is always quick. Jan Legters
(Production Manager) adds “as far as that is concerned,
Stork Poultry Processing service is first-class.
Communication lines are short and we are able to ring
a number of service engineers directly. There is always
space to consult with one another. You get expert
advice quickly. The people have a lot of knowledge at
their fingertips.”
Joop Eskes continues: “The future? We want a plant
which sets an example in the Netherlands. We have the
most important prerequisites -- first-class machines
from Stork Poultry Processing/Marel, a good
relationship with both sales and technical staff there
and of course our own people. What they achieve on a
day to day basis is definitely worth a compliment.”
Lammens
Pluimveeslachterij n.v.,
Torhout, Belgium
Mr. Michel Lammens (management deputy): “Lammens
(Poultry Processing Plant) has been a Stork Poultry
Processing customer for some thirty years now. We have
come to VIV to see what new developments there are.
We want to keep improving our processes; and with
margins now smaller we want to see whether further
automation, for example, is a good option. By using
innovative machines we hope to be able to cut labor
costs and improve yields. The I-Cut 22 is an impressive
machine with many cutting options. Although now is
perhaps not quite the time for us, the machine’s high
yields could make this investment
quickly worthwhile.”

Thierry Le Morvan: `The reason for our visit to VIV was to
look at the new possibilities on offer from suppliers for
de-boning and further processing poultry meat. How are
chicken fillets processed on the de-boning line ? How are
fillets processed after de-boning? These were the
questions we asked ourselves. What we were able to see
on the different stands, including Stork Poultry
Processing/Marel, will allow us to determine our future
policy and to set the objectives for our primary
processing and de-boning structure.
We were well received and everyone was available for us.
We were therefore able to exchange thoughts on our
visions for the future and to get some insight into the
development of new methods of working and into future
possibilities for materials either available now or still

Egidijus Guoba, Chief Technical Officer: “The next few

costs and will look into the possibilities for doing this.
