Turkey leg processor for mechanized poultry processing

Streamline your poultry processing by efficiently deboning and separating turkey legs and thighs while reducing labor costs with this high-speed, continuous operation machine.

Debones and Splits Turkey Legs Efficiently

The Prime LP-1T Turkey Leg Processor from Prime Equipment Group is an automated solution designed to enhance efficiency in poultry processing lines. It specializes in deboning and splitting turkey legs, addressing the need for precise part separation. The machine efficiently cuts the ligament in the hip joint and uses an integrated auger to convey the leg into a splitting module, ensuring seamless separation of the thigh from the drumstick. This equipment is ideal for producing turkey legs, drumsticks, thigh fillets, and leg quarters commonly required in the food, poultry, and meat processing industries.

Capable of processing up to 38 toms or 32 hens per minute, the LP-1T optimizes throughput and reduces labor costs by handling tasks typically requiring multiple operators. Its operation is PLC-controlled, facilitating easy integration into existing production lines with minimal downtime. The machine requires a central hydraulic system, operating at 12 GPM and 1,200 PSI, and adheres to standard electrical requirements, making it a versatile choice for varied facility infrastructures.

Constructed for durability and reliable performance, the LP-1T’s design has evolved from the proven FoodCraft model, re-engineered by Prime Equipment Group for contemporary needs. Maintenance is straightforward, aligning with continuous, high-speed operations typical of processing plants, and ensuring extended machine uptime.
