Our In-Line Breast Deboner for Turkey is an all-new approach to automating breast deboning that significantly reduces staffing, and provides consistent, high-yield results that meet or exceed cone line whole-muscle yields. With a small footprint compared to the cone line it replaces, the ILBD-1T is an efficient, labor-saving solution that solves multiple processing problems.

Our Prime CFS-TSK-1 Turkey Thigh Skinner Deboner effectively removes meat and skin from turkey thighs utilizing JBT Prime’s patented bladeless skinner and high-pressure water jets.  CFS-Series units produce an open meat fillet ready for trimming, and our method of water jet deboning has been operating successfully across the U.S. turkey industry for more than two decades.

Available for turkey, Prime Equipment Groups thigh deboning machines utilize an innovative water jet to remove meat from bone. They require only one operator for effective operation. The turkey models (CFS-LT3-T and CFS-DR-W) remove meat from turkey thighs, drumettes, and two-joint wings.

Our KSR-1T Turkey Keel Strip Remover, is designed to remove the keel strip from a full turkey breast fillet, cutting the fillet into three pieces: two breast lobes and a center keel strip. Its high degree of accuracy and consistency improves yields over hand processing, and requires only a single loader in a low-stress capacity that does not require extensive trim training.

Our Prime Chicken Keel Cleaning System efficiently separates meat from cut chicken keels, producing a clean keel product that is ready for shipment or processing. Keels are pumped to a specially designed picker-scalder, where heated water and fingers separate the meat. Keels flow to processing, while the process water is screened to remove solids and re-circulated back to the picker-scalder for water and BTU savings.

Semi-Automated Cone Line Deboning with the Prime Smart Cone LineOur Prime Smart Cone Line Deboning System provides industry-leading yields and labor efficiencies by automating processes along the line while harvesting wings, breasts, tenders and keel cartilage from the front half of the bird. The Prime Smart Cone Line allows for faster line speeds with less labor while improving yields. Prime machines fit adjacent the cone line for optimal ergonomics, while eliminating dangerous and strenuous tasks on the line. The industry’s top producing plants all use the Prime Smart Cone Line.

Our Prime BSC-1 Back Skin Cutter is designed to work with the HM-Series Halver to fine-tune the location of the skin cut between the front and back halves. This allows for extra yield to remain with either half. Additionally, the BSC-1 enables the front half to be dropped at a location downline from the halver for ease of product flow.

Our Prime HM-2 Chicken Halving Machine automatically and effectively separates the front half from the saddle. Operating at speeds exceeding 180 BPM, the HM-2 can be adjusted to remove more rib bones or saddle to maximize leg quarter yield. The Halving Machine can be adjusted to completely cut front halves from the saddle or leave the front half hanging by the back skin, to be removed by the back skin cutter to maximize skin and fat yield.
