OPTI LTD Whole Leg Deboner
Whole Leg, Thigh and Drumstick Deboning System
The OPTI LTD Whole Leg Deboner 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.

Exclusive concept & design
The machine’s exclusive concept and design produces high quality deboned dark meat with minimum trim and inspection required.

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.
