A CARCASS PROCESSING MACHINE

摘要

A carcass processing machine that has a pair of bone cutting blades (11,12) for cutting portions of bone from vertebra of a rack of a carcass and a pair of meat cutting blades (9, 10) for removing meat from a rack of a carcass. A moveable guide (16, 17) supports a rack of meat and guides it along a feed path into the cutting blades. The guide is moveable to position the carcass relative to the bone cutting blades. The guide may move with respect to the blades such that each meat cutting blade follows a natural shoulder (5, 6) of each vertebrae and positions the transverse processes for cutting by the bone cutting blades.
