The Intelligent Thigh Deboner with option to debone drumsticks
The new OPTiX Switch Thigh & Drum Deboner is designed to process whole anatomic legs into two separate products: deboned thighs and optionally deboned drumsticks (the user can “Switch”between the options). Skin removal is also optional. The machine offers integration with the Flex Cut-up System and accommodates a wide variation of bird sizes. The machine adjusts in real time for each leg on the line. Available for sale this summer.
Drumstick Unloading
The drumstick with superb skin coverage is unloaded from the shackle.
Thigh/Drumstick Separation
After the thigh meat is scraped from the bone, the thigh bone is separated from the drumstick.
Thigh Meat Harvester
The meat harvesting station cuts the thigh meat just underneath the thigh bone to ensure the least possible meat remains on the bone.
Thigh Meat Scraping
The thigh meat is efficiently and carefully scraped
from the bone to ensure maximum yield.
Skinning
The Skinning Unit removes the skin from the thigh. The unit can be bypassed for skin on thigh meat.
Pre-Cut Station
The Pre-Cut Station cuts with surgical precision the skin and meat for a superb skin coverage of the drumstick and optimal yield of the thigh meat.
X-Ray
X-Ray technology for detecting the kneecap and measuring the thigh length, ensures the highest possible yield.
Hanging Area
The OPTiX, with a capacity of 14.400 legs per hour, can be loaded by three operators. The special design of the shackle ensures easy loading. The system is capable for processing both left and right legs.
