Meat processing machine

Townsend BBC 1500 W

We offer the STORK TOWNSEND BBC-1500 W Back Bone Cutter, an automatic machine for the precise separation of spare ribs from the split backbone. This is an efficient solution for meat processing plants that want to increase yield, improve cut quality, and reduce the risk of bone splinters. The BBC1500W ensures a clean cut, higher yield compared to traditional band saws, and high-quality finished products.

The machine is designed to process pork, veal, and beef backbones of various sizes. Thanks to the manually adjustable feed mechanism and the feed roller system, the backbone is guided stably to the horizontal band saw, allowing for cutting very close to the backbone and yielding more valuable product. An additional advantage is the thin, high-speed cutting band, which makes clean cuts without contaminating the meat with bone fragments or splinters.

The BBC1500W is a safe and user-friendly machine; it features a fully enclosed saw, ensuring low noise levels, low maintenance costs, simple assembly and disassembly, and easy cleaning. These are important advantages for facilities that require reliable operation and quick hygiene maintenance in daily production.

The machine’s average output is 1,200–1,350 pieces per hour, with a maximum of approximately 1,500 pieces per hour. The cut ribs can then be conveyed to a receiving belt for packaging or further processing. It is also possible to produce other products, such as button ribs and pork bone-in loin.
