Stay Ahead of Changing Eating Habits – Meet Convenience Demand

As eating habits continue to evolve, they bring new challenges - and exciting opportunities - for poultry processors around the world. The key to success lies in adaptability: the ability to respond to emerging consumer trends, develop new products, and meet the stringent specifications of quick service restaurant (QSR) chains.

To help our customers navigate this dynamic landscape, BAADER provides flexible production layouts, and a broad range of smart solutions designed to meet diverse market demands - now and in the future.

Maximum Efficiency with Precise Weight and Quality Data

When producing food service cut-up, achieving exact weight and quality standards is essential. This requires capturing the precise weight of each bird and having clear, actionable insights into product quality. To stay competitive and ready for what’s next, your production line must also be fast, efficient, and future proof.

BAADER offers the most advanced systems in the industry for weight and quality detection - designed to operate at the highest speeds without compromising on accuracy:

  • TrueWeigher – A high-precision whole bird weighing system based on static weighing principles, ensuring unmatched accuracy in every measurement.
  • ClassifEYE – An AI-powered vision system that detects quality issues based on fully customizable thresholds, giving you complete control over quality grading.

Together, TrueWeigher and ClassifEYE feed real-time data into the BAADER software, allowing for intelligent sorting of whole birds to the most suitable production streams. This minimizes the risk of unsuitable products being directed to food service cut-up and ensures your operation runs with maximum efficiency and consistency.

Fill Any Bucket – With Precision and Consistency

BAADER’s ProFlex cut-up systems are engineered to meet the exact cutting specifications required by major food service chains across the globe. Whether it's the classic eight- or nine-piece cut popular in Western markets or the 10-, 11-, or even 12-piece cuts favored by many Asian QSR chains, ProFlex delivers unmatched flexibility and precision to match any market demand.

Flexible, Modular, and Ready for Any Demand

With BAADER’s modular cut-up system, you can easily produce multiple cut styles from different food service chains all on the same production line. The system’s flexible design allows you to add additional cutting units as needed - such as a Fat Remover or Tail Cutter - tailoring the line to your exact specifications.

For enhanced efficiency, the line can also be equipped with a synchronized food service conveyor that collects all parts from each bird and seamlessly transports them to the next packing stage. This integration ensures smooth, continuous processing and helps you meet diverse customer requirements with ease.

Chicken Breast: The Cornerstone of Many Fast-Food Menus

Chicken breast meat continues to be a top choice in the fast-food industry - and for good reasons. Its lean, high-protein profile appeals to health-conscious consumers, while its mild flavour and tender texture make it a versatile base for a wide variety of menu items. From grilled fillets to crispy nuggets and classic sandwiches, chicken breast adapts easily to global tastes and formats.

For food service providers, it offers additional benefits: fast cooking times, easy portioning, and consistent quality that help streamline kitchen operations and ensure customer satisfaction.

To make chicken breast meat truly convenient for consumption, it all starts with precise and efficient fillet harvesting. BAADER’s highly configurable breast deboning machines are designed to meet a wide range of market demands - whether you are processing breast caps or front halves. With the flexibility to produce skin-on or skin-off products, our systems deliver high-quality, deboned breast meat that meets the most rigorous standards for performance and quality.

Maximize Yield by Using Every Gram of Meat

Even the most efficient deboning systems leave behind some residual meat on the carcass - but this valuable resource can be put to far better use. With BAADER’s advanced refiner technology, you can recover high-quality breast meat and transform it into premium raw material for convenience products such as nuggets, sausages, and patties.

Our gentle refining process separates the remaining meat while maintaining its natural structure, resulting in high-quality minced meat ready for further processing. It’s an efficient, sustainable way to maximize yield and unlock greater value from every bird.

Ensure Fast and Accurate Packing – Even in Tight Spaces

When it comes to grading fresh or frozen smaller products speed and precision are essential. The BAADER TrueGrader delivers both. This compact, high-performance solution can process up to 250 pieces per minute – max 200 mm in length - with remarkable accuracy of ±1 gram per one deviation, ensuring consistent, reliable results every time.

Designed for efficiency and ideal for facilities with limited space, the TrueGrader offers optional features for further customization, allowing you to tailor the system to your specific production needs. Whether you're handling nuggets, wings, or other small portions, the TrueGrader helps you pack faster - with confidence and precision.
