Two-stage turkey thigh skinner
In poultry processing, achieving a leaner trim on turkey thighs is often time-consuming and labor-intensive. Combining precise skinning and fat removal into one efficient step can significantly reduce manual labor and increase productivity for production lines.

Efficiently skin and trim turkey thighs
The JBT Prime TSK-12-TS is a specialized two-stage turkey thigh skinner designed to produce a leaner trim on turkey thighs. This equipment utilizes two patented bladeless skinners in series—the first stage removes the skin, while the second stage eliminates residual fat. The continuous-feed belt ensures a positive product flow, thereby reducing labor costs by eliminating the need for a trim position downstream. Electrical requirements for the device are 480V, 3-phase, 60Hz, and it is powered by two 2 hp motors. The water requirements are 1/4 inch, 2 GPM, at 40 PSI. Capable of processing up to 60 turkey thighs per minute, the TSK-12-TS offers optimal trim design, reducing waste and improving yield compared to manual trimming.
