OPTI LTD Whole Leg Deboner
Whole Leg, Thigh and Drumstick Deboning System
The OPTI LTD Whole Leg Deboner is two separate machines connected together, maximizing system flexibility. One machine OPTI DD, removes the drumstick bone from either a whole leg or just a drumstick. While the other machine OPTI TD, removes the thigh bone from either the whole leg or just an individual thigh. If orders call for just deboned drumstick or thigh meat then one of the two machines can be bypassed and turned off depending on which product is needed. This significantly saves on wear and tear and reduces maintenance cost.

Automated J-Cutter
Makes leg deboning even more profitable!
One of the most important but also labor intensive processes to debone whole legs is to make the Pre-cut (J-Cut) along the drum and thigh bone. Making a proper J-Cut is a critical step to ensure good yields and high quality boneless leg meat that meets all boneless dark meat requirements. With the Automated J-Cutting Unit, all the issues with manual J-Cutting are addressed making the investment in leg deboning automation even more justifiable and giving it an even faster return on investment.
Total Flexibility
Because every application, situation and plant layout is different, Foodmate has developed both an integrated J-Cutting station that is part of the OPTI LTD Whole Leg Deboner and a stand-alone machine that can be integrated into a Flex Cut-up System.
Significant reduction in labor cost
Not only can the new J-Cutting station save up to 4-6 people per shift but it also addresses potentially costly health issues related to manual J-Cutting. It also eliminates ongoing and expensive training cost, particularly in plants that have high employee turn-over.
