Demand for faster production speeds is making it more and more difficult for operators to perform at the speeds required. Variations in grading and data logging also arise, as a result of different interpretation of the grading guidelines. In order to address these issues, Meyn has developed an automated Meyn Selective Hock Ejector system. It has been designed to operate at line speeds up to 13,500 bph and maximizes yield by ejecting individual hocks (right or left, or both).
Meyn already offers a solution for footpad grading in the form of the Footpad Inspection System(FIS). The FIS is now supplied with the new hock positioning disc as standard. The hock positioning disc has been added to improve the number of hocks that can be captured by the camera system.
