摘要:
A method and an apparatus for treatment of hog carcasses (3), in which a pair of carcass sides suspended at their hind feet in a gambrel (4) is conveyed on an overhead conveyor (9), which moves above a conveyor belt, on which the carcass sides are put down and lying thereupon conveyed for further treatment. By the method the hind feet of the pair of carcass sides are automatically cut off during the transfer, while the carcass sides (3) are connected with the gambrel (4) and the weight of the carcass sides has been partially transferred to the conveyor belt. The hind feet are automatically cut off with greater accuracy than by use of hitherto known methods. The cutting may be carried out by circular saws mounted stationarily below the travelling path of the gambrels or by means of pivotally mounted circular saws which are advanced together with the hind feet, which are fixated during the cutting.
