"We are able to develop things that most of the companies don't dare to endeavor because of our company's structure as a family-owned business, and most of all, our vision for a new world," says Jiro Miguel Kobayashi, International Sales Engineer Specialist at Mayekawa U.S.A.Mayekawa has not restricted itself to making just a single type of deboning machine; it has over six different types of deboning machines running across the globe. It includes HAMDAS-RX--the world's first automated ham deboning machine, turkey deboning machine, TAKIDAS, and chicken front half deboning machine, YIELDAS. Mayekawa has also recently developed a robot loading system, which uses robotic arms to automatically load the to-be-deboned whole chicken legs onto the deboning machine. Yet another impressive fact about Mayekawa is that it designs and develops most of the technology it uses in building deboning machines, rather than relying on third-party manufacturers. "We make the vision system to detect the ankle position of the whole chicken leg, robot loading system that picks up the legs with robotic arms, and also program these machines ourselves," explains Jiro.In one of Mayekawa's recent installations of TORIDAS for a client in Arkansas, the client was so impressed with TORIDAS's industry-leading yield percentage that he ended up buying 24 machines in addition to the 12 machines bought previously. With three lines of deboning units, with 12 machines in each line, the client has significantly skyrocketed his ROI.For the road ahead, Mayekawa plans to introduce other types of deboning machines like turkey deboning machine, chicken front half deboning machine, and pork deboning machine to the US market. With a team of stellar engineers, programmers, and scientists, Mayekawa aspires to revolutionize both the poultry and red meat deboning space with its unparalleled inventions.
