High productivity recovery of meat from animal (esp. cattle and pig) carcasses - by pressing section of carcass between shaped dies to separate bones, and pressing meat etc. through perforated drum to remove sinews etc.

摘要

In the process each body part is placed between suitably shaped pressing tools, and is correctly orientated within these tools; the pressing tools are closed under pressure so that the body part is sepd. into a skeletal part and a part consisting of meat contg. sinews, ligaments, skin, etc.; and the second part undergoes a sepn. process in which the meat is sepd. from the sinews, etc.. USE/ADVANTAGE - For high-productivity recovery of meat from animal carcasses. A high proportion of the available meat is recovered without increasing its calcium content (due to breaking down of bones) or destroying its fibrous structure. The labour required for trimming and prepg. the animal body parts can therefore be reduced without loss of productivity
