<p>The invention concerns an apparatus (1) for cutting up the belly of slaughtered animals, comprising first means (2) for implementation of the cutting function and a first element which, during the cutting process, is disposed under the surface of the belly. The apparatus (1) also comprises a displacement element (5) which, during the cutting process, applies a force to a predetermined area on the outer surface of the animal's belly and at a distance from the first means (2). The displacement element (5) comprises a wheel which is pivotally mounted on an axle and which is provided with friction-increasing means along its outer circumference/periphery, and the axle is mounted in such a manner that, during the cutting, the wheel rotates in the same direction as the cutting direction. The invention also concerns a process method. With this apparatus and with this method it is possible to carry out a complete cutting up of the whole of the belly, without this involving any contamination of the meat from organs with high bacteriological content, and where a positive displacement of the penis is effected without disturbing the continuity of the cutting process.</p> |
