The Duravant family of operating companies serve the food processing, packaging and material handling segments.
The PORTIO Plus is highly adaptable for red meat applications. Its infeed system features two separate conveyors, minimizing the impact of placing heavier pieces of meat while simultaneously scanning or cutting the previous primal. Its versatility extends further with bolt-on options, enabling the machine to seamlessly evolve alongside your changing applications and processes throughout its operational lifespan.

The infeed consists of two separate conveyors to reduce the impact of placing a heavier portion while
still scanning the previous piece. This is very advantageous when processing larger pieces of meat.
In addition to its top-mounted camera, the PORTIO Plus can be operated with two lateral cameras to scan more rounded products for the enhancement of the cutting results.
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 portioning for a maximum yield for all meat applications.
3 sets of laser cameras, one on the top and 2 on the sides perfectly scan irregularly shaped meat primals. This transforms the shape of the product into a perfect 3D model. As it knows the density of the meat, the intelligent software of the portioning machine is able to instantly calculate where to cut the meat to optimize the yield and minimize give-away while keeping the target weights in mind.
The portion cutter has automatic strecth compensation which guarantees optimum accuracy over the years, using the same belt. The unique belt surface is specially designed for meat products and will keep the products in place and prevents them from moving during portioning. A quick-release link makes it easy to remove the belts without removing any other parts.
Specially designed options can be easily added to the portioner at any stage to cater to specific applications. The density scale effectively compensates for variations in product density, optimizing yield and minimizing giveaway. The Automatic product holder further enhances cutting precision by securely holding the product from above. Additionally, the backholder enables thin cuts to be made at the back of the primal without sacrificing yield.
Intuitive programming of cutting patterns and fast and easy fine-tuning of the programs to get the maximum yields. The visual presentation of the cutting pattern on a large screen along with the indication of the thickness and the weight makes it easy to adjust the program which maximizes the yield.
The MATRIX P software collects all production data from the PORTIO and allows to generate production reports. MATRIX P enables users to remotely make programs offline and monitor the meat slicer status through an event log.
The portion cutter complies with the most stringent hygiene standards. The open structure of the portioning machine for meat allows it to be fully cleaned using a pressure washer and disinfected on the inside and outside. A CIP (Cleaning In Place) system keeps the belt clean during production or rinses the belts after production. All cabinets with electrics and electronics have a unique air drying system to prevent buildup of condensation. Belts can be removed with a quick release, without the need for tools.
The portion cutter can be connected to the internet, allowing the status of the meat slicer to be diagnosed from a remote service point.
Operators appreciate the good working environment around the PORTIO thanks to its low noise levels.
