Semi-Automatic Front Half Deboning

Front Half Deboner 661

The Intelligent Combination of Personnel and Automation

The Front Half Deboner 661 is designed to be a direct replacement for the industry standard double-sided manual deboning lines. The machine saves skilled labour by automating complex cutting and scoring processes while keeping our customers directly in control of final product quality and yield. Manual harvesting of fillets and tenders consistently ensures the highest quality and optimises yield. Machine operators have control and can immediately influence the final product through smart Human-Machine Interface (HMI) software to achieve the best results.

Reduce Labour Dependence

Manual deboning lines require significant labour for all cuts in preparation for fillet and tender harvesting. The Front Half Deboner 661 automatically prepares the fillets and tenders for easy and accurate manual harvesting. The 661 only requires eight people to run 70 front halves per minute. It also provides additional space for trainees within a compact footprint.

Adapting Tools to Achieve High Yield

The high repeatability of our automated processes ensures a consistent performance. The Front Half Deboner 661 measures each front half and automatically adjusts the subsequent cutting path. The result of the computer-controlled tools is accurate producing the highest quality and yield performance.

High Workers’ Comfort and Safety

Automation reduces repetitive and tiring cutting tasks and makes the workplace safer. Ergonomically designed working stations on the Front Half Deboner 661 provide all-day comfort for workers. One of the important safety features include transparent doors to allow operators and maintenance personnel to observe all cutting functions without placing themselves in danger.

Easy Loading of Front Halves

Workers load the front halves to specially designed saddles that carry the front half through a mechanical deskinning, cutting and scraping process. The breast cap positioning throughout the processing steps is optimized by turning the saddle according to the tools. The saddles are removable to ensure easy and hygienic cleaning.

Manual Harvesting to Achieve High Yield

After automatic processing, fillets and tenders are harvested manually at the provided workplaces. Manual harvesting makes it possible to achieve the highest end-productquality.
