Heavy-Duty Vertical Bone Saw for Pork Rib Portioning: A Central Butcher Shop Case Study — learn how Yuerui Machinery supports your production with reliable equipment and engineering.
A central butcher shop supplying 40 supermarket counters across Eastern China was running three manual meat cleavers and two operators per shift to portion pork back ribs. Output topped out at 600 kg per shift with inconsistent piece weights that caused downstream complaints from retail buyers.
The Challenge
Manual rib portioning created three problems: uneven weights (40-180 g variance), slow throughput during morning rush, and frequent blade replacement when operators tried to push through frozen sections. The shop also needed a machine that could be cleaned in under 15 minutes between species to keep halal and non-halal lines separate.
The Solution
We installed a heavy-duty vertical bone saw machine with a 2.2 kW stainless-steel motor, food-grade 304 stainless table and guards, and an adjustable cutting-thickness gauge. The machine handles fresh and semi-frozen pork, beef, and lamb ribs, and the sealed bearing housing makes daily wash-down simple.
Key Features & Specifications
- 2.2 kW high-torque motor cuts through bone and frozen meat without stalling
- Food-grade 304 stainless steel construction, CE certified
- Adjustable thickness gauge for consistent portion weights from 5 mm to 80 mm
- Sealed bearing housing supports high-pressure hot-water wash-down
- Safety interlock door and emergency stop protect operators
- Compact 720 x 620 x 1,680 mm footprint fits existing prep rooms
Results & Client Benefits
Within the first month, rib portioning throughput doubled from 600 kg/shift to 1,300 kg/shift, and portion-weight variance dropped to within 8 g of target. Labour hours on the cutting bench fell from 16 to 6 per shift, freeing two operators for value-added tasks like marinating and tray packing.
