Thigh Deboner to manual deboning operations. When looking at the
yield numbers it is evident that the Foodmate yield numbers do not deviate more than 1% over a 4 week period. The yield from the manual deboning system deviates by as much as 3% over a 4 week period. In other
words, after installing the OPTI Thigh Deboner, the operation was no longer dependent on the performance of each individual operator.

not require a rubber disc to clean the bone, which significantly reduces operating costs and minimizes bone shattering.
