DeboFlex – Transforming pork cutting and deboning

Automation and vertical deboning designed to improve yield, reduce labor dependency, and enhance product quality.

Shaping the future of pork processing

The meat industry plays a vital role in feeding the world, but pork processors today face growing challenges. Demand for high-quality, sustainable, and affordable products continues to rise, while labor shortages and production costs make efficiency more critical than ever.

DeboFlex was developed to meet these demands. By combining automation, vertical deboning, and modular flexibility, it helps processors modernize operations, improve yield, and maintain consistent product quality across every stage of production.

Pork cutting and deboning1 / 4

Overview – From carcass to precision cutting

Every pork processing line begins by dividing the carcass into its main sections. With DeboFlex, this process is organized, ergonomic, and efficient — ensuring a smooth flow from fore-end to hind leg. By combining vertical positioning, modular design, and automation, DeboFlex turns each stage of cutting and deboning into a precise, controlled operation.

Hind leg – High-value processing with automation

Processing the hind leg demands precision and speed. DeboFlex supports automated deboning of valuable ham muscles, combining productivity with accuracy for premium results.

Key components of DeboFlex

DeboFlex combines automation, ergonomics, and modular design. Its three core building blocks create a streamlined, efficient, and safe deboning process.

Conveyor system

Automatically positions each carcass in front of operators and automation modules. This ensures a continuous flow, reduces waiting times, and enables accurate cutting.

Workstations

Ergonomic, height-adjustable workstations that make tasks easier and safer. Operators no longer need to perform heavy lifting or rely on advanced knife skills.

Automation equipment

State-of-the-art modules that separate meat from bone with accuracy and consistency. From trimming to precise cuts, automation increases yield and ensures quality.

The benefits of DeboFlex

DeboFlex brings together automation, efficiency, and ergonomics to deliver measurable results throughout the deboning process.

By streamlining product flow and reducing manual handling, processors achieve:

Higher yield and consistent product quality
Reduced labor dependency and improved operator safety
Greater line efficiency and profitability
