摘要: A meat processing apparatus has an automated analysis stage for analysing meat parts with penetrating radiation. Data is generated for sue in both feedforward and feedback information, and may be used for robotic control of trimming and boning operations. There is a radiation-shielded chamber within which there is a tomography scanner with a scanner controller, arranged to perform analysis of meat parts. A port is used for entry and exit of meat parts placed in carriers into and out of the chamber for analysis by the scanner, and a handling system performs automated movement of the carriers between the port and the scanner. The port has an interlock chamber, having an inner door and an outer door and a controller to ensure that while the scanner is operating only one door can open. The meat parts are inspected automatically by an inspection station and a controller of the inspection station feeds forward data which is used by the scanner controller to control scanner operation according to meat part physical attributes.

摘要: A cutting machine for slicing a loaf into slices includes a forming tube channel extending in an axial direction, with an open longitudinal side and a channel cavity. A plurality of cross press stamps of different widths can each be inserted into the open longitudinal side of the forming tube channel for forming a forming tube having a rear end and a cutting end. The cutting machine further includes a cutting device with a blade arranged in front of the cutting end of the forming tube, and the blade is displaceable in a transverse direction relative to the forming tube. A width of the channel cavity of the forming tube channel is variable, and a cross press drive is provided for displacing a cross press stamp of the plurality of cross press stamps into the open longitudinal side of the forming tube channel in a first transverse direction.

摘要: A shredding drum for a cutting and separating device, including a pressure housing, on a first end portion of which an inlet opening is formed and on a second end portion of which an outlet opening is formed, wherein a multiplicity of cutting openings are arranged in a pressure housing portion of the pressure housing and pass right through the pressure housing portion from an inner wall to an outer wall, wherein the cutting openings are oriented with hole axes inclined at an angle (αO1, αO2) in relation to the inner wall. The underlying object was therefore to improve a shredding drum in such a way that the cutting performance of the cutting and separating device and the quality of the desired food ingredient are significantly improved. The object is achieved in that the inclination of the hole axes being chosen such that they are facing the inlet opening on the inner wall.

摘要: A cartilage cutting device for a bone-in meat according to an embodiment includes a cutting blade disposed on a conveying path for a bone-in meat and an elastic support portion for elastically supporting the cutting blade so that the cutting blade can recede by a reaction force applied to the cutting blade when cutting the bone-in meat. The elastic support portion is configured such that an elastic supporting force of the elastic support portion is switchable between a first elastic supporting force and a second elastic supporting force. The first elastic supporting force is capable of cutting a cartilage adhering to a bone part of the bone-in meat. The second elastic supporting force is smaller than the first elastic supporting force and is incapable of cutting the cartilage.

摘要: The present disclosure provides a preservation method for room temperature logistics of fresh meat, e.g., pork, including the following steps: cutting a slaughtered pig into pieces while the pork is hot, and cooling to 0° C. to 4° C.; cooling again to −4° C. to −2° C. so that the meat pieces reach a chilled/slightly-frozen state; sub-packaging the chilled/slightly-frozen meat pieces; putting sub-packaging boxes with fresh meat pieces into an insulation foam box together with ice bags for packaging; and using a room temperature logistics vehicle for transportation and distribution, where, when in an ambient temperature is at least 24° C. (e.g., summer), transportation and distribution time is ≤36 h; and when the ambient temperature is less than 24° C. (e.g., spring, autumn, and winter), the transportation and distribution time is ≤72 h.
