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. 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.

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.
