Foodmate OPTI Drumstick Deboner
6000 drumsticks per hour!
Foodmate developed the OPTI Drumstick Deboner in response to the increasing demand and production of deboned drumstick meat. The machine is designed to run 6000 drumsticks per hour and only requires two loaders due to the Easy Load product shackle.

OPTI Drumstick Deboner
After loading the drumsticks, the first process is the automatic Pre-Cutter where a cam operated arm and blade make a cut along the side of the bone. Making a pre-cut helps prevent bone breakage during deboning and makes it easy for the trimmers to inspect and trim the meat without first having to cut it open.

The next process after the Pre-Cutter is cutting the tendons. The tendons are cut as the drumstick rotates 360 degrees along a series of circular blades. To ensure that the pin bone stays with the bone during the deboning process, Foodmate developed a special device that masks the tendon which connects to the pin bone during the tendon cutting process.
After all the tendons are cut, an innovative scraper design pulls the meat off the bone providing the highest yield and meat quality.
