Method and device for removing a bone from an extremity of a slaughter animal

摘要

In a method and device, an elongate bone is removed from a meat-comprising extremity or part thereof of a slaughter animal. The bone has a first joint end, which forms part of a first joint, and a second joint end, which forms part of a second joint. The bone is taken out of the extremity at the first joint end, a tissue connection between the extremity and the second joint end of the bone substantially being retained. Then, meat is moved away from the bone in the region of the second joint end of the bone as a result of at least a part of the bone being moved in its longitudinal direction with respect to a scraper device towards and in particular beyond the second joint end, and the tissue connection between the extremity and the bone is mechanically broken.
