The Meyn Drum-Thigh Separator is designed to efficiently separate drumsticks and thighs while ensuring the highest anatomical cut percentage available in the market. By utilizing a unique four-step cutting process—including leg positioning, incision, joint positioning, and final cutting—the system maximizes yield while maintaining product integrity.
This module performs a precise cut between the drum and thigh joint, producing either a drumstick and an anatomical thigh or a drumstick and a thigh quarter. The first blade pre-cuts the skin and knee cap, ensuring complete skin coverage on the drumstick. A second blade finalizes the separation, resulting in high-quality cuts ready for grading, batching, or packaging. The touch-free by-pass function enhances processing flexibility, allowing seamless integration into automated poultry processing lines.
For poultry processors seeking high efficiency and precision in leg processing, the Meyn Drum-Thigh Separator offers a cost-effective and high-performance solution. With its ability to deliver consistent, high-quality cuts while maintaining a high yield, this system is essential for modern poultry processing plants.
