A deboning apparatus of the type for effecting a separation of boney material from the meat portion of fish, fowl, or other animals, and includes an auger means that is arranged through an adjoining pressure housing and perforated housing, with the auger means being coupled to for direct drive by a motor, for effecting its rotation within the said housings to achieve this meat-bone separation; the auger means includes a motor coupling section that connects directly to the motor, and which section incorporates a thrust bearing for absorbing axial thrust generated during functioning of the apparatus, a pressure auger section that is disposed within the pressure housing, and which includes an infeed section for deposition of the bone laden material therein, and wherein significant pressure is developed upon said boney material prior to its being conducted to a conveying auger section located within the perforated housing of the apparatus, and wherein the bone and meat material are substantially separated, with said auger further including a valved section that cooperates with a valved sleeve for maintaining back pressure for sustaining some of the pressure housing forces generated upon the bone laden material as it is being conveyed along the auger, with all segments of the auger, and the various pressure and perforated housings being supported by a base member that bearing mounts the two approximate ends of the auger for providing total and firm stability for the apparatus throughout its extent. |
