MODEL APBF




Automated Pork Backbone Feeder
This machine trims the featherbones, button bones and surrounding meat from the backbone after it has been removed from the loin. Product removed by the APBF is processed through a Baader or Selo machine to recapture the lean meat. This process saves an additional .23 lbs. of 80% lean meat per backbone. Capacity of this machine is approximately 1000 pieces per hour.

 



MODEL APNF-RM


Automated Pork Neckbone Feeder

This machine was designed to eliminate the repetitive motion job of trimming neckbones with wizard knives. It removes both the featherbone and rib bone from the neckbone. These bones are then processed through a Baader or Selo to recalaim the lean. It's capacity is 1300 pieces per hour. The model APNF-RM when used in conjunction with the model ANBS does an excellent job on case ready neckbones. The machine cuts are safer and more uniform than manual sawing.

 



MODEL ANBS


Automated Neckbone Slicer This machine, when used in conjunction with the model APNF-RM, will process 100% of the neckbones as case-ready, value-added neckbones. This eliminates the hazardous job of manually sawing the neckbones with a bandsaw. Pictured is the two bladed machine. It is also available in a four bladed model.

 



MODEL APFS



Automated Pork Front-foot Splitter
This machine splits pork front feet lengthwise, creating two uniform halves free of bone dust and fragments. This machine eliminates the hazardous job of manually splitting the feet with a bandsaw.



MODEL RC500
