OPTI LTD Whole Leg , Thigh and Drumstick Deboning System
The newly updated OPTI-LTD Dark Meat Deboning System is a flexible , total dark meat deboning solution
that produces high-yield , superior quality meat efficiently and cost effectively .
Capable of deboning 100 skinless or skin-on anatomical whole legs , thighs and drumsticks per minute , this system is so flexible that no additional parts or changes are required when switching between the various dark meat deboned products .
Exceptional yields . No bones about it .
Flexibility | This new system is comprised of two separate machines , maximizing system flexibility . One machine removes the drumstick bone from either a whole leg or just a drumstick . While the other machine 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 .
The machine ’ s exclusive concept and design produces high quality deboned dark meat with minimum trim and inspection required . It removes the meat with low bone content left in the meat , and leaves the pin bone on the drumstick . The innovative scraper design gives the meat a hand-cut appearance and produces extremely high yields . OPTI LTD ’ s all-mechanical design helps to keep cost of ownership low . The system is very user-friendly , which helps continuous peak performance while keeping downtime to a minimum .
Foodmate New 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 Foodmate 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 .
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 .
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 Foodmate Flex Cut-up System .
