Have you ever come across a word such as deboning? If not, then let us find out what deboning is all about, and currently, how it is getting optimized with the help of some technology.
Deboning is the process of separating flesh from bones in meat, poultry, or fish with a specialist knife. It is an advanced culinary technique that takes a lot of effort to master, but it’s a necessary skill to have if you want to take your gastronomic skills to the next level.
It’s a difficult task, but someone has to do it. Workers who do manual deboning work on poultry lines face a variety of hazards, ranging from minor wounds to long-term injuries caused by repetitive movements. From the requirement to decrease bone impurities in products to keep up with desired line speed and quantities, poultry processors face several issues that affect the deboning process. As a result, the market’s rising economy necessitates something that appears every day and requires a small operation to run daily. Now, this is where cutting-edge technology comes into play.
Technologies used for deboning meat
Mechanical bone-separator
Backs, necks, and bones from processed bird products are available for further processing. A meat-bone separator processes these materials. In general, the edible, soft components are pushed through a screen while the crushed meat and bones get repeatedly pressed against it.
Robotic deboning
Anyone who has lately attended an industry trade fair knows that robots, including robotic deboning, are finding their way into poultry plants. When compared to fixed automation, robotics allows for considerably more deboning freedom. This technology is getting developed in a variety of locations. Despite this, workers work in deboning lines due to the necessity for visibility and monitoring to assure quality. Employees are always needed to operate and maintain deboning systems, perform quality control checks on the production line, and, in some situations, harvest manually.
Vertical deboning systems
It is quick, easy, ergonomic, and sanitary with stainless steel attachments. The vertical deboning system contains an easy-to-reference touch screen with easily modified preference settings. Pull-stroke length, force, and speed can be entered separately for each sort of pull, with pre-programmed settings for each. The bones get separated from the meat with the help of the backboard, drop rail, and rise and fall platform. The vertical deboning system provides the best possible operating conditions and yield. Every debone cycle runs automatically, with the cycle beginning when the cable gets pulled. DGS may provide vertical deboning systems that allow the cutter to use both hands to produce the correct cut when deboning the front and hind legs.
Pace deboning lines
The moving conveyor belt is utilized in the pace deboning process to move the product and provide a cutting surface for the staff. The tempo and capacity of the work get determined by the line’s speed. In most cases, each employee gets assigned a specific cut and assignment to fulfill. It may enable the use of a less qualified worker on the pace deboning line.
The sections required for deboning get fed on a conveyor with DGS pace deboning lines. DGS supplies complete deboning lines, including crate supply, electrical setup, transport systems, and an information and control system.
