Laitram Machinery Joins The Poultry Federation as New Allied Member

Laitram Machinery is proud to announce its new partnership with The Poultry Federation as an allied member. This membership reflects Laitram’s commitment to supporting and advancing the poultry industry across Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma. The company looks forward to collaborating with industry leaders and contributing innovative solutions that enhance efficiency and sustainability in poultry processing.

With over 75 years of experience in industrial food processing innovation, Laitram continues to lead the way with cutting-edge solutions tailored to the poultry industry. Their latest advancement, the SMART Sorter, is transforming how processors handle whole muscle chicken nuggets and breast strips.
The SMART Sorter uses advanced data-first automation and laser imaging to deliver unmatched precision and consistency in sorting. By replacing the manual work traditionally done by nugget harvesters, the system significantly reduces labor needs while helping processors cut costs and address workforce challenges. It also increases yield by recovering 15 to 20 percent of in-spec product from trim, results that have been consistently achieved in current customers’ plants. This translates into substantial revenue gains, with some processors reporting millions in annual value recovery.

With real-time digital reporting, and a high throughput of up to 7,400 pounds per hour, the SMART Sorter not only improves product quality but also streamlines operations. Laitram Machinery is proud to bring this innovative technology to poultry processors looking to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
