Apparatus for removing bones from a carcass

Method of muscle release during carcass processing

A method of carcass processing, such as a beef forequarter, comprises the step, prior to onset of rigor mortis, of releasing constraint on a number of muscles 2 to 8 by severing most of the contact of a muscle with surrounding tissue, so that the muscles are free to contract. This has the effect of upgrading the end use of the muscle from ground beef to cubed beef. The method may also include trimming of fat from the muscle and severing some of the connections between the muscle and surrounding tissue and bone. The muscles are free to contract for a period of at least 6 hours and preferably 24 to 96 hours before they are removed from the carcass. Also disclosed is a muscle removed using the method.

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING MEAT FROM BONE

A separator apparatus that separates meat from bone in two distinct separation stages includes a rotary cam pump in series with a deboning screw assembly. In the first separation stage, substantially bone-free meat is separated from bone as the meat-bone mixture passes through the rotary cam pump, and expelled from the separator apparatus. The rotary cam pump then drives the remaining meat bone mixture into the deboning screw assembly, where a second separation stage occurs in which additional substantially bone-free meat is separated from bone as the meat-bone mixture passes through the deboning screw assembly, and is also expelled from the separator apparatus. The remaining bone residue is expelled from a bone residue outlet on the separator apparatus. The meat separated during the first stage can have a different coarseness than that separated during the second stage, and each can be expelled and collected at a different location.

Improved loin knife assembly for automatic loin puller apparatus

Pneumatic appts. for removal of ribs from pork bellies - has pistons with eyes that engage exposed ribs on pork belly held against movable vacuum plate on support frame

Used for the removal on the large scale of ribs from pork bellies, e.g. to be made into sausage meat or smoked, the belly is laid on a vaccum plate(2) movable on rollers along a support frame(1). With the ribs already cut, the ends are engaged by an eye at the end of an arcuate piston-rod mobile by compressed air inside a correspondingly shaped cylinder(3), which pulls the ribs away from the meat. ADVANTAGE - Use of compressed air in large-scale pig processing reduces risk arising with known hand-cutting.

Device and methods for detaching and/or removing meat and the like from animal heads

2134078 9320703 PCTABScor01 A boning apparatus for boning animal heads (2) comprising a conveyor (4) with a series of holders (3) and processing stations (1, 10, 20, 30, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 80, 85, 90) disposed along the conveyor. One or more stations comprises mechanically driven pin-shaped separating means (21, 36, 37, 51, 66) adapted to the shape of the animal head being processed.

Apparatus and method for removing ribs

The apparatus for automatically removing ribs portion from belly of a beast flank, such as pork flank, comprises a conveyor provided with gripping hooks for holding the flank in position on the conveyor during ribs portion removing, a camera disposed over flank top surface showing ribs for generating image electrical signals representing an image of the flank top surface, a laser triangulation unit for generating surface profile data characterizing the flank top surface, a pair of lateral cameras for generating ribs thickness data for the ribs and analyzing device such as computer for receiving the image electrical signals, surface profile data and ribs thickness data for deriving therefrom a programmed cut profile according to a predetermined meat thickness to be left under the ribs. The apparatus further comprises a robot having a robot arm provided with a end cutting tool, and a programmable logic controller (PLC) for controlling the conveyor and the robot, to create a relative movement of the cutting tool with respect to the flank according to the programmed cut profile to produce removal of the ribs portion from the belly.
