The invention relates to a method, system and spine processing device, for loosening meat from a spine portion of a split carcass part of a four-legged slaughter animal, comprising a positioning device for positioning the carcass part; a cutting device for loosening the meat, by cutting, from spinous process parts and from articular processes, the cutting device comprising a first cutter for cutting along the spinous process parts; a second cutter for cutting along an outer side of the articular processes; a third cutter for cutting along an upper side of the articular processes. The second cutter is movable transverse to the cutting direction, relative to the first cutter. The cutting device has an urging element for urging the second cutter towards the first cutter in the transverse direction while cutting, such that the second cutter cuts along the outer side of the articular processes.

Spine processing device

A tool for removing leaf lard from an animal carcass includes a mandrel to wind a leaf lard. The mandrel includes a suction cavity with a round opening to engage with a part of the leaf lard. A first air device is located inside the mandrel for aspirating and blowing air into and away from the suction cavity. The mandrel can comprise at least one pushing device to loosen and push away a leaf lard wound around the mandrel, and at least one pushing element located inside and/or in front of the pushing device to be directed underneath a leaf lard. The tool may be used in a method for loosening or removing leaf lard from an animal carcass. The tool may be part of a system for automatic loosening or removing leaf lard from an animal carcass, the system may comprise robot arms, identification system and controlling system.

Device and method for removing leaf lard from slaughtered animals

A cutting system is provided for cutting carcass parts while the carcass parts are carried by carriers connected to and moved by an overhang transport system. A detection device is provided for determining a cutting position of an incoming carcass part. At least one cutting device having an upwardly and downwardly facing surface structure is provided and a moving mechanism is mechanically connected to the at least one cutting device for controlling the position of the at least one cutting device on the basis of the determined cutting position. A carcass displacement device is arranged to initiate displacement of the carcass part away from the at least one cutting position while the carcass part or a resulting sub-part carried by a carrier and is located between the upstream cutting edge and the downstream edge.
