FOODMATE CUT-UP MODULES
Excellent efficiency.
WING MODULES
Wing Cutter Super Cut

Foodmate developed a new high yield wing cutter to better handle large birds, birds with a missing wing, and damaged birds. The machine has a very open design to allow birds with one wing, or damaged birds to easily pass through the machine without clogging the machine and stopping the line. The machine creates an anatomical cut with the option to optimize wing yield by leaving the back meat on the wing.
- Optional bypass
- Consistent and anatomical cuts
- Accommodates birds with one wing
- Suitable for big and small birds
- Leaves minimum breast meat and maximum back meat
- Handles damaged birds without clogging the machine and stopping line

BREAST MODULES
FH Cross-Cut Halving Machine
This module addresses challenges commonly found with single bladed front halving machines. The FH Cross-Cut Halving Machine provides a highly efficient cross-cut front half, significantly reducing the amount of tipped keels and miscuts. Using two blades instead of one large blade gives a straighter cut across the hips and gives more control over the number of ribs that stay attached to the front half.
The FH Cross-Cut can run both on 12” and 8” centers, and it can process a large size variation without adjustment. Its versatility allows for installation on current line configurations or newly constructed frame or flexible cut-up lines.
With the FH Cross-Cut Halving Machine, there is no need for a pre-cutter, in addition, the machine has a direct drive design with no belts and easy maintenance.
- Allows for consistent and straight cuts
- Cut can be adjusted to help increase leg quarter yield
- Does not cut into keel tip
- 3 – 4 rib count on front half
- Eliminates the need for a pre-cutting machine
- Allows for easy adjustment and easy maintenance due to the simple construction
- Integrates easily into existing frame or flex cut-up system

LEG MODULES
OPTI Leg Processor
High Performance | Consistently Optimum Yields

Foodmate has developed the OPTI Leg Processor to maximize bone-in and boneless dark meat yields. The machine gives a high yield anatomical cut and good meat and skin presentation.
The new design is user friendly and provides low maintenance cost, as it has no springs or air cylinders. In addition, height is easily adjustable, which simplifies the process of accommodating different bird sizes.
The machine was developed in the U.S., and though initially designed to address specific demands of the US market, this new version has proven to bring overall greater performance, benefiting costumers around the world. The OPTI Leg Processor can be installed in either a new Foodmate Cut-up System or it can easily be integrated into existing frame or flex type cut-up system.
HIGH FLEXIBILITY
The OPTI Leg Processor can accommodate a wide size range while maintaining a high percentage of “white knuckles” and minimal bone content with minimal adjustments. The OPTI Leg Processor can be adjusted to accommodate the so called “big birds” or large chickens.
The OPTI Leg Processor can run up to 105 BPM. In addition, final product is consistent, with good meat and skin presentation. The OPTI Leg Processor delivers improved cut quality and yield performance as a standalone machine or when supplying product to the Foodmate Dark Meat Deboning System.
