<p>A method of automatically removing meat from an animal or poultry extremity that includes first and second bones articulated by a joint and surrounded by the meat. The method includes a step (3), which provides the animal or poultry extremity, and a step (11) of holding the first bone at a free end thereof remote from the joint. Further the method includes a step (19) of separating the meat from the first bone while moving the meat lengthwise of the first bone in a direction toward the joint, and moving the meat, preferably just short of the joint. The method is continued by the steps (25, 27) of severing the second bone from the first bone adjacent the joint, and collecting the severed second bone with all the meat attached thereto. In a continuation of the method the steps (29, 21) are performed of holding the thus collected second bone at a distal end thereof remote from an end that was attached to the first bone and separating, as well as removing the meat from the second bone longitudinally thereof in a direction toward the end that was attached to the first bone. The continuation of the method is concluded with collecting the meat (37). Also provided is a system (1) that includes means for performing the steps of the method.</p> |
