The invention relates to a machine frame for the meat processing industry, which can be assembled at least partly from tube profile parts, which tube profile parts can be loaded and the outside of which comprises at least one guide surface for guiding machine parts. The invention also relates to a tube profile for assembling such a machine frame. Using the machine frame and the tube profile according to the invention it is possible to assemble constructions which can be cleaned very easily.

The invention relates to a device for removing the layer of abdominal fat or leaf fat from a slaughtered animal or a part thereof, for instance a pig, of which the abdominal cavity has been opened beforehand, which device has a gripping element for gripping the layer of abdominal fat or leaf fat in addition to a pulling element for pulling loose the layer from the abdominal wall, which gripping element includes at least one suction aperture. In preference the pulling element includes a rotatably drivable winding mandrel which in provided with the at least one suction aperture, which winding mandrel is guided for winding up during rotary driving the layer of abdominal fat or leaf fat gripped by the suction aperture.

The invention relates to a device for subjecting to a process a slaughtered and optionally pre-skinned animal, for instance livestock such as a horse, cattle, a pig, a sheep or a part thereof such that said process (also) takes place in a zone where an organ, for instance the preputium, is situated in the wall, for instance the abdominal wall, which device comprises processing means for performing said process. It is an object of the invention to offer provisions with which in simple manner an organ can be preserved from damage by the processing means. With a view hereto the device according to the invention is characterized by displacing means for displacing this organ out of the active zone of the processing means at least during performing of the process at the position of said organ.

Device for processing a slaughtered animal or a part thereof

The invention provides a method for opening a slaughtered animal comprising the following steps of:

Method and device for opening a slaughtered animal

A device for removing the anus of slaughtered animals. The device includes a cutting device for cutting out the anus of a slaughtered animal, which cutting device comprises a substantially cylindrical blade drivable for rotation and translation and having a leading cutting edge. The device further includes positioning elements for initially positioning the blade such that the center line thereof extends substantially through the anus of the slaughtered animal and a blunt locating pin for causing the blade to follow a curved path such that the cutting edge follows substantially the form of the rectum of the slaughtered animal while avoiding contact with bone.

Controlled device for removing the anus of slaughtered animals

A tooth wheel intended to co-act with a transmission member with transmission elements, which tooth wheel bears a number of protrusions arranged on the periphery which are each provided with at least one contact surface for co-action with the transmission elements, including self-adjusting protrusions for adjusting the pitch of the contact surfaces, wherein each protrusion can swivel substantially in the main plane of the tooth wheel round at least one centre outside the connecting line between the centre line of the tooth wheel and the zone of engagement between the contact surface and a transmission element. It is an object of the invention to embody a tooth wheel such that the distribution of the forces over the protrusions is better in the case of individual variations of the relevant pitch distances. With a view to this object the tooth wheel according to the invention has the feature that during a swivelling of the relevant protrusion the contact surface of the transmission element co-acting therewith undergoes a substantial radial displacement in relation to the tooth wheel.
