Paw Cutter

Paws (feet without shanks) are an attractive product in China. It is therefore lucrative to produce A-grade paws, which is exactly what JBT Marel’s Paw Cutter does. In a processing plant, the Paw Cutter is installed at the end of the feet processing line after the Selective Foot Unloader.

The Paw Cutter receives feet, from which it cuts off the shanks. It handles all kind of feet, regardless of cut, resulting in a higher yield. This means that even broken feet can become A-grade paws. The machine cuts the foot just below the shackle, using a very reliable technique. 

A-quality only

JBT Marel’s Paw Cutter is a robust, reliable 16-unit carousel machine in the renowned RS frame. As it is the last machine before the Feet Processing System, it releases all paws from the line, using the integrated unloader. Now, the Feet Processing System will only scald, peel and chill A-grade paws.
