<p>The invention involves pulling the hide mechanically from beef carcasses, in a manner such as to avoid hide and carcass damage without resorting to electric stimulus, and without the need for trimming knife labor in removing the hide effectively and advantageously from the skull of the carcass. The invention thus provides a method of removing the hide from a meat carcass including a head having the hide slitted lengthwise along the belly, the hide being partially detached from the carcass to provide side flaps disposed along opposite sides of the carcass, including flap portions resulting from peeling the hide from the forelegs, said method comprising the steps of: suspending the carcass from the hind legs with the unskinned head and the skinned forelegs lowermost; gripping the side flaps at opposite sides of the carcass near the forelegs, and forcibly pulling the hide over and off the head while restraining the forelegs against movement in the direction of the hide pulling force.</p> |
