Chicken halving system for high-speed poultry processing

In the poultry processing industry, separating the front half from the saddle efficiently is crucial to maintaining high yields and reducing labor costs. An automated system that can keep up with high production speeds is essential for meeting demand while ensuring quality and consistency.

Automate chicken halving with precise adjustments

The Prime HM-2 Chicken Halving System, offered by JBT, automatically separates the front half from the saddle at speeds exceeding 180 birds per minute (BPM). This system allows for easy adjustments to maximize leg quarter yield by removing more rib bones or saddle as needed. It can also be set to leave the front half hanging by the back skin for easy removal with a back skin cutter. The system does not require additional power or an operator, making it efficient and adaptable to various overhead line configurations. Weighing 800 lbs (363 kg) and with a compact footprint, it integrates seamlessly into existing production lines. Designed with flexibility in mind, it can be adjusted to meet different processing requirements and improve overall production yields.
