    Chicken Thigh Deboning Machine Applications

    Chicken Thigh Deboning Machine Working Process

    1. One operator loads the thigh into the product holder. Subsequently, the product holder takes the thigh through a sequence of deboning steps integrated in a carousel mechanism.
    2. The product is positioned by the probe.
    3. The thigh joint is pushed gently through the rubber diaphragm, while the thigh meat, including the kneecap, remains on the product holder.
    4. The bone is released from the diaphragm.
    5. The deboned thigh meat, with or without the skin, is discharged to a separate location.

    Typical Chicken Process Workflow

    1. Chicken thighs are manually separated from whole legs
    2. Thighs are loaded onto the feeding tray
    3. The machine automatically aligns, debones, and discharges meat and bone separately
    4. Boneless meat is ready for trimming, marinating, or packing
