摘要

A device (10) for removing skin from meat cuts (12) of irregular thickness is presented. The device for removing skin from meat cuts includes an overhead conveyor (16) having a drive roller (30) and a pair of idler rollers (32,34) rotatably mounted to a pair of support plates (36). The device further includes a belt (42) extending around the driver roller and pair of idler rollers. A support shaft (44) extends between the support plates within a loop of the belt. A plurality of resistive devices (58) are attached to the hold down members to provide varying resistance when a meat product is lifted into contact with the belt.
