Transfer of carcass sections in slaughterhouses

摘要

The carcass section (20) is delivered from the first location to the second by a device (14) comprising an arm (24) and a receiver (22) for the meat. The arm swings about a vertical axis (26), altering its radius. Having picked up the meat (20) in the first location, the radius of the arm (24) is first of all shortened, then the arm is swung, and its radius is then increased as necessary, delivering the meat (20) to the second position.
