Good things may take a little time, but great things can take longer. This is certainly true of the reputation the chef brings to the meal, the restaurant, and even the food and beverage industry.
The Australian Government aims to double the value of Food and Beverage manufacturing by 2030, and one of the key areas to benefit from this is Australia’s reputable chicken meat industry.
According to the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES), almost 1.3 million tonnes of chicken meat was produced in 2020/21 for consumption. During that year, the consumption of chicken per capita was 47.8kg per person, compared to 27.7kg for pig meat, and 20.1kg for beef and veal.
In such a fast-growing industry, strict import protocols have been established to protect quality standards, posing challenges for overseas poultry producers. As a result, almost all chicken meat consumed in Australia is grown domestically. Supporting this key industry for almost 20 years, ESAM has provided high-quality air solutions to facilitate various stages of chicken meat production.
Some examples include:
- Vacuum systems for egg handling
- Pneumatic bulk feed delivery
- Feather removal process
Vacuum Systems for Egg Handling.
Vacuum egg lift systems are specially designed to safely transport eggs via suction cups, which helps to streamline operations for egg handling efficiency. The side channel blower supplies this system with precise suction power that greatly reduces labour costs and time associated with the transfer of eggs.
Pneumatic Bulk Feed Delivery
ESAM air technology provides optimal performance for systems that transfer animal feed. Our side-channel blowers and oil-free air compressors are designed to supply air for transporting bulk feed products to specifications. We provide configurations to deliver precise pressure and flow rate to suit poultry farm operations.
Feather Removal Process
One of the key stages in chicken meat preparation is defeathering. Due to soil contact with feathers, it is critical to minimise cross-contamination through heated water tanks. Blowers are installed within the tanks to generate turbulence that helps loosen feathers, ensuring optimal defeathering results.
From chicken breeding and rearing to processing and distribution, ESAM understands that consumer well-being is paramount in this industry. Applying expert precision to rigorous requirements, ESAM continuously pursues 100% reliability to minimise the risk of contamination from downtime.
