Turkey giblet separation system for poultry processing
In the poultry processing industry, separating giblets from turkeys can be labor-intensive and inconsistent. Manual separation demands significant labor and increases the risk of human error, leading to operational inefficiencies and potential yield loss.

Automates giblet separation for higher throughput
The Prime GH-1T Turkey Giblet Harvester from JBT is a specialized system designed for high-capacity separation of turkey giblets, specifically the heart and liver, from the gizzards. It integrates seamlessly into the evisceration line, using a rotary blade to precisely separate giblets. This ergonomic design ensures ease of use and reduces labor compared to manual methods. The system operates with three 0.5 HP motors and requires 480V 15 amp electrical supply and 1 GPM water flow at 40 PSI. Its robust design and heavy-duty construction make it durable and reliable under continuous operation, producing up to 55 packs per minute. This solution is particularly beneficial for poultry processing facilities aiming to increase efficiency and consistency in giblet separation, while pairing with JBT Prime’s GS-T gizzard stripper for a fully automated process.
