Utrecht, Netherlands — At VIV Europe 2026, AviNews International sat down with Mahdieh Saeidi Nia, Process Technologist at BAADER, to discuss how digitalization and smart engineering are reshaping poultry processing.
In today’s volatile market, performance is no longer about occasional peaks. As Saeidi Nia explained, “True performance means predictable, controlled results — even under fluctuating bird intake quality, high-speed demands, biosecurity pressure, and tightening regulations.” BAADER’s digital solutions deliver exactly that, offering processors real-time monitoring and advanced analytics to detect deviations before they become costly setbacks.
The spotlight at VIV Europe was BAADER’s Leg Processor 6340, a highly adjustable system engineered for consistent, high-precision anatomical cuts. Designed to adapt seamlessly to varying bird sizes and production demands, the machine ensures optimal product quality while boosting profitability in cut-up operations.
Yield remains the top priority — but not at the expense of quality. The 6340 strikes the balance, securing higher leg yields while maintaining premium standards. Its standout feature: on-the-fly adjustment during production, allowing operators to fine-tune settings without halting the line.
Ease of use was another design principle. With simplified adjustment and assembly, even less experienced staff can operate the machine confidently. A hygienic design streamlines cleaning, while speed efficiency reaches an impressive 7,500 birds per hour.

For BAADER, the goal is clear: empower processors with tools that combine yield, quality, and efficiency. As Saeidi Nia emphasized, uniform flocks may be the ideal, but smart machinery must handle variability. The Leg Processor 6340 embodies that philosophy — delivering flexibility, precision, and profitability in one package.
