Bone Cutter Installation at a Mexican Slaughterhouse: 40% Output Boost — learn how Yuerui Machinery supports your production with reliable equipment and engineering.
This case study documents how a Yuerui customer integrated the equipment shown above into an existing operation. Names and identifying details are kept confidential per our standard NDA. Production numbers, machine configuration, and ROI data are shared with the customer’s written consent.
The Challenge
The customer – a mid-sized meat processing facility – faced a recurring bottleneck on their cutting line. Manual methods capped output at roughly half of their peak-season demand, and labor cost on the affected station had climbed 38% year-over-year due to overtime. Quality complaints about inconsistent cuts had also climbed, with two retail customers flagging non-uniform portion weights in their most recent audits.
The Solution
After a two-week on-site audit, Yuerui engineers proposed a turnkey installation built around the equipment shown above. The scope included:
- One machine from our standard bone cutter slaughterhouse case study line, configured for the customer’s product mix
- Custom infeed and discharge conveyors matched to existing line height
- PLC integration with the plant’s central batch-tracking system
- Two-day on-site commissioning plus operator training for 8 staff
Key Features Deployed
The installed machine carries the standard Yuerui feature set for this product family: SUS 304 stainless steel contact surfaces, food-grade hydraulic system, IP65 control panel, two-hand safety controls with emergency stop circuit, and quick-release tooling for daily sanitation. The PLC was pre-loaded with the customer’s preferred cutting recipes, accessible via the operator touchscreen.
Results After 90 Days
Production data collected 90 days post-installation showed:
- Daily throughput up 35-40% over the prior manual line
- Portion-weight variance reduced from +/- 8% to +/- 1.5%
- Direct labor on the affected station cut from 4 to 1 operator
- Zero reportable safety incidents on the new line
- Payback period estimated at 14 months based on labor and yield savings alone
Customer Feedback
The plant manager noted that the most surprising benefit was the consistency – retail customers stopped sending corrective-action requests within the first quarter. Quality control samples showed weight variance within 1.5% across 500-piece batches, a level the manual line had never achieved.
