Keel strip removal for turkey breast fillets
In the poultry processing industry, manual methods for removing keel strips from turkey breast fillets can lead to inconsistencies and require extensive labor. High-volume operations face challenges in maintaining yield and reducing labor costs while ensuring product quality.
Efficient keel strip removal with minimal labor
The Prime KSR-1T Keel Strip Remover from JBT is designed to automatically remove the keel strip from a full turkey breast fillet, cutting the fillet into three parts: two breast lobes and a center keel strip. This system is effective and efficient, processing up to 25 whole breasts per minute. It requires only a single loader to operate, minimizing labor and reducing the need for extensive training. Positioned downstream from whole breast removal, this unit ensures high accuracy and consistency, significantly improving yield compared to manual processing methods. The KSR-1T operates with minimal water and electricity consumption, making it a cost-effective solution for poultry processors.
