APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR EFFICIENT SMEAR-LESS SLICING OF MEAT, POULTRY AND SIMILAR FOOD PRODUCTS

摘要

A slicer system and method is disclosed that cuts meat products from a primal. The system comprises an isolated chute that delivers the primal to a cutting area along a first direction, a shuttle that moves a portion of the primal in a horizontal plane that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction, a conveyor that supports and carries a meat product cut from the primal in the cutting area, and a sprayer that applies a fluid to a cutting blade in the cutting area.
