As demand for deboned leg meat continues to rise, Marel has launched a new system to address processors’ needs for increased production volumes while maximising yield and quality.
The system is called Alpine (Anatomic Leg Processor Innovative New Evolution) and works in conjunction with Marel’s ACM-NT cut-up line. It includes features such as the hip dislocation wheel that allows for precise control of the hip tilting movement needed to achieve an anatomical cut without exerting excessive force or removing the leg from the shackle. It results in improved performance and virtually inexistent leg loss.
Optionally, processors can integrate a special module to remove groin skin automatically, meeting specific market demands while saving considerable manual trimming labour.
