Optimized yield
The PORTIO software for the portion cutter always calculates the cuts so as to leave zero waste, and maximize the yields. Conditional programs are possible for increased yields. Combinations of fixed thickness and various fixed weights allow the creation of portions up to a maximum yield for all meat applications.

Unparalleled accuracy
3 sets of laser camera, one on the top and 2 on the sides perfectly scan the more rounded meat primals. This transforms the shape of the red meat into a 3D model. As it knows the density of the meat, the intelligent software of the portioning machine instantly calculates where to cut the product to obtain the target weights.

Modular belt
The portion cutter has automatic stretch compensation which guarantees optimum accuracy over the years, using the same belt. The unique belt surface that has been specially designed for red meat primals, will keep the products in place and prevents them from moving during portioning.

Adding options
Specially designed options can be bolted on to the portioner at any later stage for specific applications. The density scale compensates for variation in fat content between primals. The Automatic Product Holder prevents crustfrozen meat from moving during the portioning. The BackHolder holds the last portion upwards. The retractable outfeed belt allows the head to be separated or the tail to be trimmed and can be combined with a blow-off system.

User-friendly software interface
Intuitive programming of cutting patterns and fast and easy fine-tuning of the programs to get the maximum yields. The cutting pattern is visible on the screen along with the indication of the thickness and the weight of every meat portion.

MATRIX P
The MATRIX P software collects all production data from the PORTIO meat cutting machine and allows production reports to be generated. MATRIX P enables users to remotely take programs offline and monitor the status of the meat slicer status using an event log.

Extremely hygienic, easy to clean
The portion cutter complies with the most stringent hygiene standards. The open structure of the portioning machine for beef or pork allows it to be cleaned using a pressure washer and disinfected on the inside and outside. A CIP (Cleaning In Place) system rinses the belts. All cabinets with electrics and electronics have a unique drying system to prevent the build-up of condensation. Belts can be removed with a quick release, without the need for tools.

Service
The portion cutter can be connected to the internet. This enables the status of the meat slicer to be diagnosed from a remote service point.

Low noise
Operators appreciate the good working environment around the PORTIO, thanks to its low noise levels.
