Information
Poultry processing plants with a water chilled process that produce anatomic legs can benefit from the ALPINE (Anatomic Leg Processor Innovative New Evolution) leg processor. ALPINE ensures simplified, proven performance across a broad weight range. With user-friendly operation, robust design, and consistent optimal performance over an extended period, it delivers high-yield leg cuts with minimal complexity, implying minimal adjustments during production.
A consistent job
ALPINE is a state-of-the-art anatomic leg solution that excels in consistent performance, ensuring a high yield, product quality, and meat integrity. Its ability to maintain constant, top-level performance for extended periods eliminates the reliance on labor for adjustments. Operating consistently throughout a flock or even a whole production day, its simplicity and low sensitivity to maintenance reduce dependence on skilled or non-skilled labor for the operating and servicing of the machine. Despite its compact size, ALPINE is robust enough to minimize the need for frequent maintenance.
Legs stay in the shackle – Hip Dislocation Wheel
ALPINE employs a unique and patented Hip Dislocation Wheel located in the middle, actively taking control of the hip tilting movement without exerting any forces on the leg and without taking legs out of the shackle. In this way, ALPINE stays in complete control of the in-line leg between infeed and outfeed. Legs stay in the shackle throughout the process, resulting in improved performance.
Easy to use and saving labor
ALPINE saves labor because its operation demands little to no human intervention. Thanks to the low complexity, minimal adjustments are needed during production. Manual settings at three positions can be made for the entire flock or even the entire production day, maintaining a stable, consistent operation.
ALPINE also saves labor because of its high performance in preventing product drop-outs. With so many correctly processed legs, hardly any rework is needed.
