LEG MODULE
Saddle Cutter 1
The Foodmate Saddle Cutter is the optimal machine to separate leg quarters. The guiding system is designed to always give an accurate center split.
The chicken is hanging parallel to the moving direction of the machine, with the breast in the direction of the circular blade(s) of the Saddle Cutter. Because of the movement of the Cut-up line and the help of the rails, the correct cut is realized. It can be mounted on new Foodmate lines or added to existing lines.
- Allows for a maximum of 6.000 birds per hour
- Allows for easy integration with the 8” to 12” lines due to its simple construction
- Stainless steel frame and motor
- Motor (IP66) power is 0,75 kW
- Machine dimensions:
– Length: 670 mm
– Width: 711 mm
– Height: 1075 mm

LEG MODULE
Saddle Cutter 2
The Foodmate Saddle Cutter 2 with 2 motors can be used to make a single split of the leg quarters. It can also be adjusted in many ways to cut a strip of up to 5 cm out of the backbone. The chicken is hanging parallel to the moving direction of the machine, with the breast direction of the circular blade of the Saddle Cutter. Because of the movement of the Cut-up line and the help of the rails, the right cut is realized.
The height of the blades can be adjusted by adjusting the spindles, so they can be adjusted according to the size of the bird. It can also be installed on existing Cut-up lines.

LEG MODULE
Leg Processor SII
The Foodmate Leg Processor SII is designed to anatomically remove the back from the saddle to create a whole leg without a back. The unique design of the Leg Processor SII lets the saddles run straight through the machine and change direction. The back is turned from the legs. The machine can run a wide size range while maintaining an optimal anatomical cut with minimal to no adjustments. The height of the machine can be mechanically adjusted by a spindle, so the machine can be adjusted to the size of the bird. The Leg Processor SII can be installed in either a new Foodmate Cut-up System or it can easily be integrated into your existing frame or flex Cut-up system.

LEG MODULE
OPTI Leg Processor
The Foodmate OPTI Leg Processor is designed to anatomically remove the back from the saddle to create a back out whole leg. The unique design of the OPTI Leg Processor lets the saddles run straight through the machine and never change direction.
The legs are pulled away from the back and there is no need to twist the back away from the hip sockets. This results in a smoother process, putting less strain on the backs and hocks, and improving yield. The machine can run a wide size range while maintaining an optimal anatomical cut with minimal to no adjustments. Since the introduction in 2011, numerous customers have installed and benefited from the OPTI Leg Processor. All have reported very positive results with significant yield improvements while reducing rework caused by bone content.
The OPTI Leg Processor can be installed in either a new Foodmate Cut-up System or it can easily be integrated into your existing frame or flex Cut-up system.

- Reduces strain on the back with the elimination of the “turn”
- Reduces bone content
- Improves oyster retention
- Improves yield
- Increases the final drum and thigh presentation since the legs do not twist in the machine
- Increases bird size accommodations via height adjustment by the actuator
- Stainless steel frame and motor
- Motor (IP66) power is 0,75 kW
- Machine dimensions:
– Length: 2099 mm
