Keel cleaning system for poultry processing
Achieve precise meat separation from chicken keels with minimal waste, optimizing your poultry processing line for improved efficiency and reduced resource consumption.
The KPS Keel Cleaning and Meat Separation System by Prime Equipment Group is engineered to streamline your poultry processing line. This system efficiently separates keel fillets from cut chicken parts using a specialized picker-scalder process, which utilizes heated water and mechanical fingers for effective cleaning and meat separation. Ideal for poultry, meat, and seafood industries, it produces processed chicken parts and boneless poultry meat ready for packaging. With a capacity to handle 25 pounds of keel per minute, this system offers high throughput and continuous automated operation.
Equipped with a water recirculation tank, it conserves resources by reheating and reusing process water, lowering operational costs. The system supports integration into existing lines and features PLC control for seamless operation and monitoring. Constructed from high-grade materials, it ensures durability and resistance to processing conditions. Maintainance is streamlined with easy access points for cleaning and servicing. Configurable to meet specific processing requirements, Prime Equipment Group offers engineering support for tailored solutions.
