Add Value to Your Meat Room with the TP30 Tabletop Meat Fillet Machine

Filleted chicken breast is one of the most useful products in your meat case. It sells for more, it works in more dishes, and customers keep coming back for it. The catch is that filleting chicken by hand is slow, risky, and hard to do consistently. The ABM TP30 tabletop meat fillet machine takes that job off your team's cutting boards, so your meat room can offer more without asking more of your people.

The problem with filleting chicken by hand Anyone who has worked a meat room knows chicken breast is tricky to fillet. It's soft, slippery, and uneven in thickness, which makes a clean horizontal cut harder than it looks. It isn't safe. Filleting means running a sharp knife parallel to the cutting board, with your hand flat on top of the product. Do that hundreds of times a shift and the risk of a cut adds up fast. Every injury means lost time, a short-staffed counter, and a safety report nobody wants to file. It's hard to get consistent. Even skilled cutters end up with fillets that are thick on one end and thin on the other. Uneven pieces cook unevenly, look uneven in the case, and make it hard to price and portion with confidence. It eats up labor. Asking your team to fillet hundreds of chicken breasts isn't practical or efficient. Every hour spent on a knife is an hour taken away from other value-added work in your meat room, like custom cuts, case presentation, or helping customers at the counter.

Why filleted chicken breast is worth the effort

A whole chicken breast has its limits. It's too thick for a good sandwich, it doesn't take a marinade well, and it can turn out tough and dry by the time the thick end is cooked through.

Filleting fixes all of that. Thinner, even pieces open up a lot of options:

Hot bar and deli sandwiches that cook quickly and fit the bun
Pre-marinated offerings where the flavor actually soaks in
Quick-cook packs for shoppers who want dinner on the table fast
Tender, even results that customers notice and come back for

That versatility is exactly why customers pay significantly more for filleted chicken breast than for whole breast. Filleting turns a commodity item into a value-added product. But shoppers also expect every package to look and cook the same. Consistency is what earns the repeat purchase.

Keep your meat customers from shopping elsewhere

Most shoppers don't want to visit three stores in one week. They prefer a store that has everything they need, all in one trip.

Yet it's common for customers to buy most of their groceries at one store and then go somewhere else for meat. Usually that's because the other shop has more variety or better quality in the case. Every time that happens, you lose a high-margin sale and give a competitor a reason to see that customer again.

Offering filleted chicken breast, along with the marinated and ready-to-cook products it makes possible, gives customers one less reason to leave. A fuller, more consistent meat case helps them buy everything in one place: yours.

How the TP30 makes filleting simple

The TP30 tabletop meat fillet machine was built to do one job well: slice chicken breast horizontally into clean, even fillets, without putting your team's hands near the blade. Like every ABM machine, it's made in Italy by the same manufacturer we've partnered with for forty years.

Safer for your team. The machine does the cutting, so your staff isn't running a knife flat across their own hand all shift.
Consistent fillets, every time. Even thickness means even cooking, a cleaner-looking case, and easier portioning.
Up to seven pieces per minute. Work that used to take a person hours gets done in a fraction of the time.
Fits your meat room. It's sturdy and compact, made for small spaces, and simple to operate.
Easy to clean. The TP30 is built entirely of stainless steel and comes apart and goes back together without tools. The blade kit removes easily for cleaning and sanitizing.
More than chicken. It also handles turkey, pork, and beef, so one machine supports several value-added products.

The result is less time on a knife, fewer safety worries, and more of your team's day spent on work that grows sales.

Backed by local service you can count on

A great machine only helps if it keeps running. That's why ABM sells through a network of more than 80 authorized dealers across the United States and Canada. Your local dealer delivers and installs your TP30, trains your team, and handles service when you need it.

We also keep a deep inventory of spare parts on hand, so you're not waiting weeks to get back up and running. In-stock equipment typically arrives within one to two weeks.
