Product Overview

The Vertical Chicken Thigh Deboning Machine is specially designed for poultry processing plants requiring efficient and consistent removal of bones from chicken thighs.

Chicken thigh meat is one of the most valuable poultry products in global markets. Producing high‑quality boneless thigh meat requires accurate bone separation while maintaining maximum meat yield.

This vertical deboning machine uses a pneumatic pressing system combined with specially designed deboning molds to separate:

  • Chicken thigh bone

  • Chicken upper leg bone

  • Poultry leg bones

During operation, the chicken thigh is positioned into the processing mold. The pneumatic cylinder pushes the bone through the separation mechanism, while the surrounding meat remains intact.

Compared with manual deboning, the machine provides:

  • Higher processing efficiency

  • More stable product quality

  • Reduced labor dependence

  • Improved meat recovery rate

The compact vertical design requires less installation space and is suitable for:

  • Poultry processing plants

  • Chicken further processing factories

  • Frozen food manufacturers

  • Meat product suppliers



Working Principle

The operator places the chicken thigh into the customized deboning mold.

After the start button is activated, the pneumatic cylinder moves downward vertically.

The pressing rod applies controlled force to push the bone through the separation opening.

During this process:

  • 1.Bone is separated from surrounding meat

  • 2.Meat remains outside the bone outlet

  • 3.Deboned chicken thigh meat is collected separately

The vertical movement provides stable pressure and accurate positioning, reducing meat damage during the deboning process.

Application Case

Case: Chicken Further Processing Factory

A poultry processing company producing boneless chicken thigh products needed to improve production efficiency.

Before installation:

  • Workers manually removed bones

  • Labor cost was high

  • Product consistency depended on operator skills

After introducing the vertical chicken thigh deboning machine:

  • Processing speed increased

  • Product quality became more stable

  • Labor requirements decreased

  • Meat yield improved

The machine was installed in the cut‑up and deboning section of the production line.

Advantages

  • Higher Processing Efficiency
    Compared with manual deboning, the machine improves processing speed.

  • Better Product Consistency
    The pneumatic pressing system provides repeatable deboning results.

  • Higher Meat Recovery Rate
    Special molds reduce unnecessary meat loss.

  • Lower Labor Cost
    One operator can handle continuous production.

  • Compact Factory Installation
    Vertical design saves production space.

  • Easy Maintenance
    Simple mechanical structure reduces downtime.

Vertical Chicken Thigh Deboning Machine FAQ

  • What products can this machine debone?

    It is mainly designed for: Chicken thigh Chicken upper leg Chicken leg quarter
  • What is the difference between this machine and a mechanical deboner?

    A mechanical deboner separates meat from bones by pressing crushed materials and is usually used for minced meat production. This machine keeps the thigh meat shape and produces whole boneless thigh meat.
  • Is the machine fully automatic?

    It is a semi-automatic machine. The operator loads the chicken thigh, while the pneumatic system completes the deboning process.
  • Does the machine damage chicken meat?

    No. The mold and pressing force are designed to separate bone while maintaining meat structure.
  • Can different chicken sizes be processed?

    Yes. Different molds can be customized according to chicken thigh size.
