Poultry cone deboning line
In poultry processing, maximizing yield while minimizing labor costs is crucial. Manual deboning can be labor-intensive and prone to inconsistency, impacting overall productivity and quality of the product.

Automates deboning to improve yield and efficiency
The Prime Smart Cone Line Deboning System by JBT automates the deboning process, significantly enhancing yield and labor efficiency. This semi-automated system streamlines the separation of wings, breasts, tenders, and keel cartilage from the front half of the bird. With the ability to handle faster line speeds and reduce staff requirements from 17 to 13, this system optimizes both staffing and throughput. Additionally, the strategic placement of equipment ensures optimal ergonomics, minimizing dangerous and strenuous tasks for workers. The system operates at a line speed of 40 birds per minute, compared to the conventional 34 birds per minute, offering a compact footprint for flexible layout options.
