Chicken tender tendon clipper

Achieve precise cuts and streamline your poultry processing with a high-speed solution that efficiently severs tendons while maintaining tender integrity, enhancing both yield and consistency.

Removes Tendons from Chicken Tenders Efficiently

The CTTC-1 Chicken Tender Tendon Clipper from Prime Equipment Group is a specialized machine designed to enhance efficiency in poultry processing. It utilizes a precise cutting mechanism to sever tendons from chicken tenders and wings while integrated into the continuous flow of a production line. Operating at speeds of up to 50 front halves per minute, this clipper significantly reduces manual labor by eliminating the need for hand cutting, resulting in more consistent tender shapes and improved yield. Ideal for poultry processors and industrial kitchens, the CTTC-1 seamlessly mounts onto existing cone lines, minimizing operational disruption. Powered by a 1/2 hp motor and compatible with 480V, 3-phase systems, it ensures robust performance with variable production rates contingent on cone line speed. Designed to integrate with Prime’s Accu-Lock Cone System, this clipper provides both efficiency and reliability, meeting the needs of high-speed, continuous operations while maintaining meat integrity and quality.

Benefits
