Automatic beating and tenderizing machine for steaks, and slices of meat generally.

摘要

The machine relates to the art field of treatment systems for conditioning steaks and similar slices of meat prior to cooking, and comprises a conveyor belt (6) on which the untreated steaks are arranged, and pairs of cylinders (19, 28) arranged side by side with axes parallel through which the tensioned belt is made to pass, carrying the steaks. Each pair of cylinders comprises a power driven cylinder (19), and a freely revolving cylinder (28) the axis of which can be shifted toward and way from the axis of the power driven cylinder; the belt (6) rides on the underside of the power driven cylinder (19) and on the top side of the freely revolving cylinder (28), in such a way that the steaks are pressed between the belt and the power driven cylinders. The pressed meat is prevented from clinging to the power driven cylinders by the action of revolving brushes (24) located one above each pair of cylinders.
