FOODMATE DARK MEAT DEBONING SYSTEMS

OPTI THIGH DEBONER

Foodmate developed the Kneecap Remover (KCR) feature for the OPTI Thigh Deboner, as a solution to address staffing issues with the trimming of cartilage that stays on the meat after deboning. Due to an increasingly tight labor market, it is becoming more and more difficult to staff the trim tables and control trimmers’ performance; which can ultimately, in turn, represent a loss in product quality and yield.

OPTI THIGH DEBONER WITH KNEECAP REMOVER

Kneecap? What kneecap?

The OPTI Thigh Deboner has been a very successful machine, with over 200 satisfied customers reporting significant yield improvement. The OPTI TD’s innovative scraper design and tendon cutting system give the meat a hand-cut appearance without shattering the bones. Adding the automated KCR does not impact meat quality and yields are very similar or sometimes even better then operations that manually trim.
 
The KCR can be installed on existing machines, or it can be integrated into a new thigh deboner. It is located underneath the meat scrapers and is cam and gear operated. Each meat scraper has a circular blade that comes from underneath the thigh bone to cut the tendons around the knee joint. After the tendons are cut, the meat scraper pulls the meat off the bone while leaving the kneecap attached to the bone.
