<p>This invention relates to a trim management system (TMS) (200) and a method for processing of meat trim products, where the meat trim products are supplied as a sequence of collections of trim (COTs) (204), each COT comprising plurality of meat trim products. A trim parameter determining apparatus (TPDA) (201) is provided for determining the fat/meat relationship for the COTs, and plurality of receiver stations (202) are arranged along a conveyor means (210) having associated diverting means (203) for transferring the COTs from the conveyor means to the receiver stations. A control unit (209) is provided for controlling the transferring of the COTs from the conveyor means (210) to the receiver stations (202) based on the determined fat/meat relationship of the COTs to complete target batches at the receiver stations that fulfill a predetermined criterion including total fat/meat relationship criterion. The receiver stations include a receiver means (206), and a buffer means (205) arranged between the conveyor means and the receiver means, where the buffer means is adapted to accumulate COTs from the conveyor means having total fat/meat relationship that fulfills the fat/meat criterion of the selected receiver station, where transferring of the COTs to the receiver means is performed via the buffer means.</p> |
