Pneumatic Aitchbone Puller Assembly

Pneumatic Aitchbone Puller Assembly

An Aitchbone Puller is a specialized, heavy-duty tool used in meat-processing plants and slaughterhouses to mechanically extract the pelvic bone (aitchbone) from cattle, hog, or sheep carcasses.

How it Works:

• Hooking the Bone: The double grappling hooks or a specialized bone clamp are securely attached to the exposed aitchbone of a suspended carcass
• Pneumatic Pulling: The worker activates the long pneumatic cylinder, which exerts a massive, controlled linear pulling force away from the carcass
• Clean Extraction: The machine cleanly rips the pelvic bone out of the surrounding meat and connective tissue in one quick motion

Why it is Used:

• Ergonomics & Safety: Manually cutting or pulling out the pelvic bone is incredibly strenuous. This tool eliminates repetitive strain injuries, back pain, and shoulder fatigue for line workers
• Increased Speed: It automates a difficult step in the butchery line, significantly speeding up the deboning and primal cutting process
• Maximizing Yield: The mechanical pull minimizes meat loss by separating the bone cleanly from the valuable surrounding muscle (like the rump and round cuts), maximizing the facility's profit per carcass
