Processing Area

Upon receiving the poultry following all HACCP protocols, the chicken is moved to a completely refrigerated processing area. Equipped with a fully automated conveyor system, Central Bernard operates two independent processing and deboning lines and two counter-ready fresh tray pack lines. Skinning machines start the process by rapidly removing the skin, allowing our team of 60 or more to begin the deboning process within seconds. The elaborate conveyor system moves the added-value product in one direction while the discarded remains move in the other direction and are collected for further processing outside our facility. Set up to meet the specifications of our chain account customers needs, the boneless chicken products are then bulk or tray packed accordingly, using a modified atmosphere packaging system (MAP). The items are then weighed and prepared for shipment.
