Keel strip removal for turkey breast fillets

Increase yield and reduce labor in turkey processing with precision keel strip removal, transforming whole breasts into deboned cuts efficiently and consistently.

Removes Keel Strips from Turkey Breasts

The KSR-1T Keel Strip Remover from Prime Equipment Group efficiently processes turkey breast fillets by removing the keel strip, producing consistent cuts for further poultry, meat, and seafood product applications. Designed for high-speed continuous operations, it enhances yield over manual methods, processing 22-25 turkey breasts per minute with precision and minimal labor intervention. This equipment is seamlessly integrated into production lines following whole breast removal, and its simple operation reduces the need for extensive training. Constructed for durability, the KSR-1T operates with two motors (2 hp and 1/2 hp) and requires a 1/4 NPT water connection at 40 psi, ensuring optimal performance and easy maintenance in high-capacity processing environments.
