Modular chicken cut-up line for high-speed poultry portioning

Compact Automatic Poultry Cut-up Line for Chicken Processing

Compact by MIROTEC is a modular automatic poultry cut-up line for processing chicken into wings, breast, thighs, drumsticks and other anatomical parts. Capacity up to 6,500 birds per hour, with precise cutting modules and flexible configuration for poultry plants.

Compact is a high-capacity automatic poultry cut-up line designed for industrial chicken processing plants. The system cuts poultry carcasses into wings, breast, thighs, drumsticks and other anatomical parts with stable cutting accuracy and minimal product damage.

The automatic poultry cut-up line is a high-tech solution for efficient processing of chicken into up to 24 individual parts — wings, breasts, thighs, drumsticks and more.
The system ensures high cutting accuracy, stable quality of the finished product and minimal waste.

A key advantage is its compact footprint: the line is ideal for plants with limited floor space and is easy to install. The modular structure allows adding extra machines or processing units at any time, expanding the product range and increasing production flexibility.

The line includes options such as an Anatomical High-Yield Wing Cutter (with adjustable cut type, including “dollar cut”) and Anatomical Leg Processing modules.

Designed for industrial performance, the system operates at 3,000–6,500 birds per hour, with higher speeds available on request — ensuring high productivity without compromising precision.

— High cutting accuracy with minimal product damage
— Stainless steel construction for industrial sanitation
— IP69 stainless steel motors for intensive washdown areas

Every poultry plant has its own product range, speed requirements and available floor space. Compact cut-up lines are configured individually, so the system can be assembled with the modules needed for your production: wing cutting, breast cutting, thigh and drumstick separation, carcass trimming, unloading and connection to deboning, weighing or packaging systems.

MIROTEC can prepare a Compact line configuration based on your target capacity, required cuts, carcass size, available space and integration points inside the plant.
