Turkey halver for poultry processing
Effortlessly halve turkeys while maximizing yield and flexibility in your poultry processing line, ensuring seamless integration with existing systems for optimized production.

Efficiently Halves and Separates Turkey Parts
The HM-1T Turkey Halver from Prime Equipment Group is engineered to streamline your poultry processing line by effectively halving and separating turkey parts with precision. With its line-driven operation, this machine uses a fully automatic cutting system to ensure consistent and accurate separation of the front half from the saddle. This equipment excels in enhancing yield by allowing for adjustments to remove more rib bones or saddle, tailored to your production needs. It’s ideally suited for the production of turkey halves, saddle cuts, and front half portions, serving poultry processors, meat facilities, and food companies efficiently.
The HM-1T can integrate seamlessly with your existing overhead lines and operates continuously, requiring no additional power or operator intervention. Capable of processing up to 50 toms per minute or 60 hens per minute, it maximizes throughput without compromising on quality. This machine is compatible with the BSC-Series Back Skin Cutter, providing flexibility in how front halves are managed post-separation. Constructed to handle solid product types, it supports both whole turkey processing and the creation of boneless fillets and turkey ribs. The HM-1T offers customizability and engineering support to adapt to various production environments, ensuring reliability and efficiency in operations.
