Product Details

I. Product Overview

The Poultry Breast Opener and Splitter (Model 12) is an advanced, high-efficiency carcass-splitting machine engineered for poultry processing lines, butcher shops, and commercial food production facilities. Specifically designed for fast and safe breast-opening (venting) and back-splitting, this machine processes chicken, duck, goose, and other poultry with maximum speed and alignment.

Featuring a specialized dual-grooved alignment channel feed guide, the Model 12 enables operators to quickly feed poultry carcasses into the cutting path with perfect alignment, ensuring straight, centered cuts every single time. Built entirely from heavy-duty food-grade stainless steel, it provides a stable, hygienic, and extremely safe workspace that meets strict commercial sanitary requirements.

II. Structural Features & Working Principle

1. Key Structural Features

  • Alignment Channel Feed Guide: Designed with a specialized grooved tracking channel that holds the poultry carcass steady during feeding, preventing slipping and ensuring perfectly centered, symmetrical cuts.
  • Premium Alloy Rotary Blade: Features a wear-resistant circular alloy blade designed to split bone, meat, and cartilage cleanly, eliminating bone fragments and maintaining meat structural integrity.
  • Seamless Hygienic Design: Constructed entirely of food-grade stainless steel with smooth, open-surface components to facilitate quick washdowns and prevent bacterial or food residue accumulation.
  • Heavy-Duty Sealed Motor: Powered by a robust 1.1kW motor enclosed in a watertight steel housing, protecting the electrical components during high-pressure daily washing.

2. Working Principle

Once powered on, the 1.1kW motor drives the alloy circular blade to spin at high speeds. The operator aligns the breastbone or spine of the poultry carcass within the grooved guide channel and slides it forward under the safety cover. The high-speed rotating blade instantly cuts through the breastbone or back, cleanly splitting the carcass into symmetrical halves with minimal resistance and absolute uniformity.

IV. Installation & Commissioning

1. General Installation Procedure

  1. Position the machine on a flat, highly stable workbench or dedicated pedestal to absorb running vibrations.
  2. Verify that the power outlet and supply voltage match the machine’s specification sticker (220V or 380V).
  3. Connect the power cables securely. For 380V models, confirm the correct rotational direction of the blade.
  4. Let the machine idle (run empty) for 2 minutes to inspect for standard smooth operation and rule out structural noise.

2. After-Sales Service

Installation assistance, spare parts support, and general product commissioning advice are available via our designated support team or structured remote video guidance.

V. Safe Use & Precautions

1. Before Use

  • Ensure only authorized and properly trained personnel operate the cutting machinery.
  • Confirm that the blade is in excellent structural condition and the locking nut is firmly secured.
  • Check that the heavy-duty safety shield is aligned and securely covers the blade.

2. Operational Safety

  • Strictly Prohibited: Never push the poultry carcasses towards the high-speed blade with bare hands. Always align and guide carcasses using the designated tracking channel.
  • Avoid wearing loose ties, wide-sleeved jackets, long chains, or loose-fitting gloves which could get caught in the rotating blade.
  • Always turn off the machine and disconnect the power supply completely before carrying out any cleaning, alignment, or blade changes.

3. Safety Pictograms

Symbol / Hazard Safety Meaning & Precautionary Measures
Danger High-speed rotary blade hazard. Keep hands and fingers clear of the safety shield region.
Danger Electrical shock hazard. Always shut down power before opening control components.
Warning Extremely sharp blade edges. Use extreme caution and wear cut-proof gloves during blade maintenance.
Warning Never operate the machine if safety guards, shields, or guide plates have been removed.

4. Daily Maintenance

Frequency Maintenance Task Description
Every Shift Thoroughly wash the alignment guide channel and blade protective shield area with sanitizing solution.
Every Week Inspect motor attachment stability and make sure the central blade locking nut is perfectly tight.
Every Month Examine the blade edges for any minor micro-cracking, chips, or general dullness; sharpen or replace if required.
Every 3 Months Check structural wiring insulation, verify the integrity of the watertight seal, and confirm ground wire safety.

VI. Simple Troubleshooting

Problem Encountered Possible Root Cause Recommended Solution
Motor does not start when switched on 1. Main power cord is disconnected or broken.
2. Internal capacitor is faulty.
1. Inspect power cord connections and test wall outlet.
2. Have a professional technician replace the capacitor.
Ragged poultry cuts or crushed bone edges 1. Cutting blade is blunt or chipped.
2. Blade has been installed backwards.
1. Sharpen the circular blade or mount a new replacement.
2. Re-install the circular blade facing the correct cutting direction.
Heavy machine vibration or loud structural noise 1. Central blade lock-nut is loose.
2. The bench surface is uneven or unstable.
1. Stop operation instantly and tighten the lock-nut firmly.
2. Move the equipment to a stable, flat, non-slip workbench.
Motor overheats quickly during operation 1. Feeding too rapidly, causing motor overloading.
2. Supply line voltage is too low.
1. Slow down the feeding speed, feeding carcasses consistently.
2. Verify that supply line voltage conforms to specifications.
