On-line leg quartering unit for poultry processing
Effortlessly enhance your poultry processing line by precisely and continuously quartering birds, transforming whole back halves into leg quarters and split backs with minimal manual labor. Ideal for achieving greater yield consistency and safety.
Quarters Poultry Legs on Processing Lines
The Prime OLQ-1 On-Line Leg Quartering Unit from Prime Equipment Group excels in automating the quartering of poultry legs, significantly reducing manual labor while enhancing safety and consistency. This unit operates seamlessly within a processing line, integrating with upstream equipment like the HM-Series Halver and BSC-1 Back Skin Cutter for a comprehensive cut-up solution. It employs pivoting shackles to automatically position back halves for precision quartering, producing uniform chicken leg quarters and split chicken backs. Capable of adapting to varying line speeds, it meets the demands of high-speed, continuous operations. With motors designed for efficiency, it operates on 480V, 3-phase power, drawing 15 amps. Made to endure rigorous conditions, the OLQ-1 supports poultry processors, meat-processing facilities, and food-processing companies aiming to optimize throughput and yield with minimal manual intervention.
