Abstract: An evisceration weighing system includes a frame portion and a rotatable portion. The frame portion includes a first weigh plate and a second weigh plate, with the rotatable portion rotatably mounted with respect to the frame portion. The rotatable portion includes a first support arm pivotally mounted to the rotatable portion capable of applying a force to the first weigh plate that is indicative of a weight of a first poultry carcass supported by the first support arm, and a second support arm pivotally mounted to the rotatable portion capable of applying a force to the second weigh plate that is indicative of a weight of a second poultry carcass supported by the second support arm. The evisceration weighing system is capable of weighing the first poultry carcass at the same time as the second poultry carcass.

Abstract: A system and method for processing of food parts includes use of carriers for receiving, transporting, and presenting food parts for processing, including trimming. The carriers are moved about reconfigurable worktable under computer control from an infeed location, to a processing location, and to an outfeed location. Operators perform trimming of the food parts into constituent food parts that are transported by the carriers for further processing.
Abstract: A system and method for object processing using magnetic levitation includes moving carriers with drive magnets across an array of planar motors. Food items on the carriers are moved through processing steps. The system determines the weight of multiple food items and coordinates and arranges for the batching of food items totaling a desired weight from an assembly of available food items and presents the selected food items to an operator for further processing. The system moves the carriers to engage the food items with processing equipment, such as for attaching to poultry shackles, or for cutting by a filet machine.
