Blue Skies Ahead for Foodmate

Its hard to believe that a year has passed since the successful opening
of Foodmates North American Sales and Service Center. During this
frst year, we have accomplished many things that have allowed for
rapid sales growth and employee expansion.
More and more customers are starting to realize the benefts of our
R&D efforts. More than 10 plants have now successfully installed our
new OPTI Leg Processor and customers are now realizing the benefts
of the new OPTI Thigh Deboner. Other successes have come from the
purchase of a highly customized 16-piece cut up system by one of the
worlds largest poultry processors.
As a result of our rapid growth, Foodmate US upgraded its facility from
5,800 sq. ft. to 31,000 sq. ft. to support our current and future growth. In
addition, Foodmate is investing in key employees with many years of
poultry processing industry experience to support our customers in
the feld and behind the scenes from our offces.
Our manufacturing plant in the Netherlands continues to make
investments to support our growth. Just recently we invested in several
state-of-the-art CNC machining centers that are capable of making
quality parts at a cost effective price.
We are excited about the progress we are making, and that our
customers are seeing signifcant benefts from our developments.
It is our goal to develop new products that allow for a fast return on
investment while keeping your overall operating and maintenance
costs low.
We wish you a successful and productive 2012 Poultry Show.

Foodmate Introduces New Branding
These are exciting times at Foodmate! In January 2012 we launched our new
logo and branding. The new logo is a refection of the refresh taking place
inside Foodmate, and our renewed sense of purpose showing our core
business as a manufacturer of poultry processing equipment.
The new design is indicative of more improvements to come as we grow and
develop into an industry leader.

The graphic in the Foodmate logo shows progression and forward

movement. The new logo applies two colors, namely green and blue,
symbolizing the chicken and the cut up parts.

We thank our clients, colleagues and staff for sharing in our journey to get to
this point. We look forward to your continued support as we work to further
improve and continue to make a positive impact in the industry and in the
communities we serve.

Flexibility and Yield
The Foodmate OPTI Leg Processor is designed to
anatomically remove the back from the saddle to
create a back out whole leg. The unique design of
the OPTI Leg Processor lets the saddles run straight
through the machine and never change direction.
The legs are pulled away from the back and there is
no need to twist the back away from the hip sockets.
This results in a smoother process, putting less strain
on the backs and hocks, and improving yield. The
machine can run a wide size range while maintaining
an optimal anatomical cut with minimal to no adjust-
ments. Since the introduction in 2011, numerous
customers have installed and benefted from the
OPTI Leg Processor. All have reported very positive
results with signifcant yield improvements while
reducing rework caused by bone content. The
OPTI Leg Processor can be installed in either a new
Foodmate Cut-Up System or it can easily be
integrated into your existing frame or fex
cut-up system.

High Yield and Hand-Cut Appearance
The Foodmate OPTI Thigh Deboner was developed to
solve problems commonly found in both manual and
automated thigh deboning operations. The unique
concept and design of this machine will provide high
meat quality and optimal yield, and only requires a few
trimmers and inspectors.
The innovative scraper design and tendon cutting
system gives the meat a hand-cut appearance and does
not shatter or crush the bones. Unlike other automated
thigh deboners, the OPTI Thigh Deboner does not require
a rubber disc to clean the bone, which signifcantly
reduces operating cost.
There are many benefts with the OPTI Thigh Deboner over
hand deboning systems. Adding this feature will provide
more consistent results, requires less operator training and
more importantly, doesnt create ergonomic issues with
your employees due to repetitive motion.

Eviscerating Equipment
Foodmate offers a full line of eviscerating
equipment with line speeds up to 8000
birds per hour. The Foodmate eviscerating
machines are constructed to meet the
highest hygienic standards with maximum
accuracy. The Eviscerating Line consists
of all the equipment to manage your
eviscerating needs.
Food Service Cut-Up System
The Foodmate Food Service Cut-Up System is
designed to meet all 8-piece, 9-piece and dark
meat cut-up requirements.
A typical 8- and 9-piece machine consists of a tail
cutter, food service wing cutter, inline fat puller,
pre-cut and/or keel cutter. For a 9-piece cut, it
includes the lengthwise halving machine, thigh
popper, food service halving machine, food service
thigh/drum cutter and static un-loader. All pieces
can be collected in a synchronized conveyor
with pockets.
The Foodmate Food Service Cut-Up System
is supplied with auto-correcting magnetic
cut-up shackles which signifcantly reduces the
opportunity for the shackles to be turned
in the wrong direction when entering the
cutting modules.
The unique turn point and side plate confguration
makes the machine easy to clean and fexible for
future line modifcations.
The standalone machine requires minimum
installation time because all of the single point
connections are integrated into the machine.

Magnets Help Improve Wing Tip Cutting
To help address the issues with skin damage and to
provide more consistent joint cuts, Foodmate developed
a completely new approach to online wing tip cutting.
The wings are presented back frst and are guided into the
machine. After the wings are placed into position, a special
indexing wheel fips the wing tips in an upside direction.
The indexing wheel uses magnetic technology
to consistently position the wing for accurate
cutting. The specially shaped indexing wheel is
designed to accommodate various wing sizes with
no adjustments.
Breast Cap Deboner
The Foodmate Semi-Automatic Breast Cap Deboner was
developed to fllet breast caps in an effcient manner, with
the emphasis on speed, high quality product output and
yield, fexibility, and to minimize the number of
machine operators required.
The Breast Cap Deboner flleting machine is
4100 mm in length and the capacity is
approximately 1400 breast caps per hour,
requiring four operators to manage at
this capacity.
The line speed is frequency controlled and
is manufactured according to CE guide rules.
The length of the line can be extended
to meet your operational needs and is
delivered standard with the de-skinning unit.

Splitter Blade
How to Reduce Rework on Whole Bird Splits
Many suppliers to the food service industry often struggle
to meet production goals and quality standards due to
off-center cuts caused by the whole bird splitter. As a result
of this feedback, Foodmate has developed a cost-effective
and simple solution to this problem.
The new Foodmate whole bird Splitter Blade has proven
to increase effciencies and reduce the amount of rework in
many food service processing facilities.
Our customers have reported a signifcant decrease in
rework which improves fock utilization throughout the
processing facility.
The Foodmate blades are designed to maximize yield,
reduce rework and improve cutting effciencies by
providing a quality and cost-effective blade solution.
Foodmate recently introduced a new double
bladed, front halving machine to address
problems commonly found with single bladed
front halving machines.

Using two blades instead of one large blade gives
a straighter cut across the hips and gives more
control over the number of ribs that stay attached
to the front half.
