The Drop Station M3.0 are the most versatile and flexible drop stations suitable for a wide range of line speeds and shackle distances. The drop stations can be installed in both Chill and sorting lines. The redesigned dropping mechanism ensures that the birds slide smoothly and reliably out of the shackles using an upward moving lever, which replaces the previous frontal pulse movement. This improvement leads to a controlled dropping performance. Installing and adjusting the drop stations is simple, and they are easy to service and maintain. Additionally, the noise levels have improved compared to the current drop stations.
The development of the new Chill-Sort Drop stations has been part of the high-speed innovation program, which also includes the Meyn® Asymmetric Rehanger for transferring to an 8" sorting line. Consequently, the new drop stations can handle all speeds up to at least 15,000 birds per hour and it is now possible to drop birds from 6" cooling shackles.
The new Meyn® Chill-Sort Drop Stations offer reliable whole bird dropping performance with high sorting accuracy, for the full range of line speeds and shackle distances. The drop stations can handle speeds up to 17,000 bph at 6, 8, 10 and 12 inch lines for the S1, WS1 and KH4 shackles. In the new design the birds are sliding smooth and reliable out of the shackles based on information from a line control system. The drop stations are simple to install and to adjust and less sensitive to the exact timing in comparison to the current drop stations.

The smooth pneumatic controlled dropping mechanism ensures that the birds slide out of the shackle for a controlled bird removal, without damaging the bird
The drop stations are controlled by the Meyn Distribution Manager based on the quality signal of the Meyn Multi Vision Camera Grading and/or the Meyn inline Weigher solutions. The Meyn® M3.0 Drop stations can work next to the existing drop stations.
The drop station's lever mechanism limits the force required to drop birds, ensuring high durability and reliability. The drop stations are designed for easy servicing and maintenance.
