YC-200 material carts are the connecting infrastructure of a complete processing line
The YC-200: Standard-Footprint Material Cart for Every Transfer Point
A meat processing line is only as efficient as the transfer system connecting its stages. The YC-200 is a 200-litre stainless-steel material truck built to the international standard cart dimensions used throughout the global sausage, cooked-meat, and ready-to-eat protein industry. Because the YC-200 conforms to this universal footprint, it integrates directly with the T200 Meat Cart Lifter, standard cart-wash tunnel systems, and the discharge chutes of most commercial tumbler, mixer, and grinder models without modification.
For facilities building or expanding a complete processing line, the YC-200 is the logistical backbone that connects every processing stage: raw material intake, brine injection, vacuum tumbling, sausage filling, and smokehouse pre-loading. Specifying an adequate number of carts relative to your line throughput and cycle time is one of the most commonly underestimated elements of processing-line design — and one of the highest-impact, lowest-cost improvements available to facilities transitioning from manual tray or bucket handling to a cart-based workflow.
SUS304 Construction: Material Choice for Wet Processing Environments
SUS304 stainless steel is the baseline standard for food-contact surfaces in wet meat-processing environments. Grade 304 offers the correct combination of corrosion resistance against brine solutions and cleaning chemicals, mechanical strength for repeated loading and tipping cycles, and weldability that allows smooth, continuous interior surfaces without crevices. The YC-200 is fabricated from 304-grade sheet with all internal junctions radiused or continuously curved, and internal weld seams ground flat and polished to eliminate bacterial harbourage points.
- No internal dead corners: All internal junctions are radiused, allowing complete drainage and full access for high-pressure cleaning nozzles without residue build-up.
- Surface treatment: External surfaces are treated for stain resistance and long-term appearance retention under daily wash-down and sanitiser exposure.
- Four locking swivel castors: Individual locking brakes on all four castors provide precise positioning during loading and safe engagement with the T200 lifter cradle.
- Full-width push bar: Ergonomic handle at a single-operator comfortable height for manoeuvring a loaded cart across flat production flooring.
- Robust welded structure: Frame and trough are welded as a single unit, withstanding the cumulative mechanical stress of daily loading, tipping, washing, and stacking without deformation.
Material cart efficiency at every upstream stage directly affects smokehouse output quality and consistency
How Many YC-200 Carts Does Your Line Require?
A cart is productive only when it is moving product. At any point in a running operation, carts are being loaded at one station, in transit between stations, waiting at a machine, or being cleaned and returning to the start of the cycle. Purchasing only as many carts as there are workstations means at least one station is idle waiting for a cart at almost any moment during production.
Common planning error: Purchasing only 1–2 carts for a multi-station line. A minimum buffer of 3 carts per active processing line is the starting point; facilities with multiple parallel stations or shift-change handovers typically need 5–8. Carts ordered with the main equipment ship in the same container at negligible incremental freight cost.
The practical rule: count your active transfer points, add one cart for each machine’s discharge buffer, and add one cart per line for the wash cycle. For a single-line facility with brine injector, tumbler, filler, and smokehouse, a minimum of four to six YC-200 carts supports continuous operation without waiting at any stage.
When budgeting for carts, it is worth noting that the YC-200’s unit cost is a small fraction of the cost of any primary processing machine. Under-purchasing carts to reduce initial expenditure routinely creates a bottleneck that limits throughput on far more expensive downstream equipment. A tumbler rated for 1,000 kg per cycle operates at reduced efficiency if the line has only two carts available to supply it and remove its output. Specifying the correct number of carts at the time of initial equipment order also enables all items to ship in a single consolidated container, which eliminates the freight cost of a separate supplementary cart shipment later. Contact us with your line throughput target and machine list for a recommended cart quantity calculation specific to your facility.
YC-200 in the Processing Line: Stage-by-Stage Workflow
The YC-200 participates at every major product transfer point:
- Raw material receipt: Deboned, trimmed, or prepared raw meat loads into the YC-200 at the intake or preparation station.
- Brine injection to tumbling: Injected product is wheeled from the brine injection machine to the vacuum tumbler and tipped in via the T200 lifter.
- Tumbling to smokehouse: Tumbled product loads into the YC-200 and transfers to the smokehouse loading station, where it is transferred onto hanging trolleys or a smokehouse loader.
- Post-smokehouse: Cooked product unloads onto cooling or slicing tables. Empty carts are sanitised and returned to the start of the cycle.
Cleaning and Sanitisation Protocol
The YC-200 is designed for rapid, complete cleaning between batches. The absence of internal dead corners and the radiused internal geometry mean that a standard high-pressure water lance rinse removes the majority of product residue without scrubbing. For HACCP-compliant batch-change sanitisation, a 2–3 minute hot-water rinse followed by a dilute alkaline or QAC-based sanitiser and a clean water final rinse meets standard third-party audit requirements in most jurisdictions.
- High-pressure water-gun washable; compatible with automated cart-wash tunnel systems
- No dead corners or internal weld crevices; complete drainage by gravity when tilted
- Resistant to dilute bleach, lactic acid, citric acid, and QAC-based sanitisers
- Castor wheel brackets designed without hidden pockets or crevices
- Recommended: thorough wash between each product batch; daily chemical deep clean
YC-200 carts are fabricated in the same facility and to the same standards as our primary processing machines
Domande frequenti
What is the exact loaded weight of a full YC-200?
The YC-200 has a 200 L volumetric capacity. Dense meat products (pork shoulder, beef trim) typically yield 150–200 kg per cart when filled to working capacity, within the T200 lifter’s 200 kg rated load.
Are there size variants of the YC-200?
The YC-200 is produced to the international 200 L standard cart footprint. If you require a different capacity (100 L or 300 L), contact us — we manufacture carts to customer-specified dimensions.
Can YC-200 carts be stacked for storage or shipping?
Yes. Empty carts can be nested or stacked to reduce storage footprint and to consolidate multiple units into a single shipping container at minimal incremental cost.
Is the YC-200 compatible with automated cart-wash systems?
Yes. The standard footprint and interior geometry are compatible with the majority of commercial automated cart-wash tunnels. Confirm your wash tunnel’s cart clearance dimensions against our cart specifications before ordering.
What is the minimum order quantity for YC-200 carts?
There is no fixed minimum. Single units are accepted. Quantity-based pricing is available; contact us with your required number for a tiered quotation.
