Abstract: A method of poultry wing segmenting including providing a poultry wing segmenter system having a plurality of spaced shackles which hold the poultry wing suspended by their shoulder joints vertically positioned and presented to a horizontally rotatable wheel which has a plurality of circumferentially spaced lateral notched slots therearound, the rotatable wheel has a pair of annular slots into which cutting blades are positioned, a plurality of wing engaging members and guide members to bias and open the wing joints against cutting blades drawn through the annular to produce separate poultry wing segments of drumette, flat, and tip.

Abstract: A poultry wing segmenting blade to segment a poultry wing into segments at the poultry wing joint, the blade includes a bifurcated blade having a first edge and a second edge, and further comprises a guide, the guide configured to align the poultry wing joint with the bifurcated blade configured to separate the joint and cut the poultry wing and, thus, functions to produce consistent high speed joint cuts without producing shattered or fragmented bone segments, exposed open bone areas, and/or bone marrow contamination.
