Leg meat, whether skin on or skin off, bone in or bone out, lends itself particularly well for processing into a wide range of end products. To meet changing customer demand, Stork has launched a modular system for the deboning of whole legs.
Overview of the line
The in-line whole leg deboning system consists of the following modules:
- Whole leg deskinning module: removes the skin from anatomically cut legs
- Sinew cutter: reduces the sinew content in order to facilitate further processing steps
- Manual work station: thigh bone is cut loose manually
- Thigh bone removing module: removes the thigh bone
- Drumstick deboning module: debones the drumstick prior to manual or automatic meat harvesting
- Leg meat harvesting module: automatically harvests the leg meat
Summary of the in-line whole leg deboning benefits:
- High yield
- Fewer manual cutters and checkers needed
- Minimal risk of residual bone, cartilage and marrow in the final product
- Attractive product presentation
- Improved ergonomics
- Great processing flexibility thanks to modular construction and use of the Stork shackle and overhead conveyor
