A slicing device includes cutter device, workpiece holding part, relative movement device, and slicing position operating part. The cutter device has slicing blade that is driven in a direction along a blade surface. The workpiece holding part holds workpiece. The relative movement device moves the workpiece holding part and the cutter device relative to one another in slicing direction in which meat of a workpiece is sliced. The slicing position operating part moves the slicing blade of the cutter device toward and away with respect to the workpiece, which moves relatively in the slicing direction, from a direction intersecting the slicing direction. A blade surface portion that cuts the workpiece along a driving direction of the slicing blade and a pressing portion that presses an outer surface of the workpiece are alternately disposed at a position of the slicing blade where the slicing blade comes into contact with the workpiece.

Slicing device, and method for slicing workpiece

A meat separator separates meat part attached to bone part by coming into contact with outer peripheral surface of the bone part of bone-in meat that moves relatively with respect to the meat separator. The meat separator includes a plurality of clamp blocks. The clamp blocks each include scraping contact portion that comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the bone part, and the scraping contact portions cooperate with each other so as to clamp the outer peripheral surface of the bone part. At least one of the clamp blocks is configured so that at least a part of the scraping contact portion of the clamp block is displaceable in a plurality of directions along outer surface shape of the bone part, and the at least one of the clamp blocks includes biasing function portion that elastically pushes back the displacement in direction moving away from bone part.

In a deboning process, a knee joint length is measured in a work loading section of a first process station, and incision making of a thigh meat portion is performed in a second process station based on the measured knee joint length. At the same time, the entire length of a work is measured, and the knee joint length is calculated from previously collected data based on the measured entire length of the work. Positioning of a cutting blade and a meat separator is performed based on these values in subsequent process stations, and cutting of a tendon adhering to a knee joint and tearing of thigh meat are performed. A thigh bone is separated from a lower thigh in a further process station.

Device and method for deboning bone-in leg

In an automated deboning device for deboning a bone-in leg of livestock carcass, a clamp unitsuspending the work w includes a servomotor, a threaded shaftconnected to an output shaft of the servomotorand a lifting and lowering blockthreadably mounted on the threaded shaft. A lifting and lowering rollermounted on a lifting and lowering shafttravels in a traveling pathto lower and transfer the work w to a next work station. By bring a swinging rollermounted on the lifting and lowering shaftin contact with the cam plate, the lifting and lowering shaftis rotated by a setting angle so that the work w faces round cutter blades. Thus, the pathway of the round cutter bladescan be approximately straight, thereby simplifying and reducing the cost of the moving mechanism.

A hydraulic drive system that does not cause a decrease in efficiency of actuators, does not hinder an optimal action of devices such as flow adjustment valves, and does not cause any corrosion of water acting as an operating fluid. The system uses water as an operating fluid. The system includes a hydraulic generation apparatusincluding, a main tank, a return path, an accessory tank, and a water disposal apparatusdisposed in a path. The operating fluid from structuring devices of the processing apparatusesandflows through the return path. The operating fluid flows from the accessory tankto the main tankthrough the pathand the water disposal apparatus

Hydraulic drive system

An elevation and index apparatus of a water hydraulic driven type has a rotary table ( ) supported pivotally by a cross roller bearing ( ), a water hydraulic motor ( ) and a water hydraulic cylinder ( ), each fixed to a table base ( ) supporting a power transmission mechanism and the cross roller bearing ( ), a main elevation shaft ( ) connected to an output shaft of the water hydraulic cylinder ( ), an elevation and index table ( ) connected to the main elevation shaft ( ) through a bearing ( ) and connected to the rotary table ( ) so as to restrict pivotal movement, and a casing ( ) disposed outside the table base ( ) and enclosing the power transmission mechanism.

Elevation and index apparatus of water hydraulic driven type

An automatic deboning method and apparatus are provided whereby, in a deboning process comprising the steps of: severing shoulder joints off from an upper half of a poultry carcass; stripping wings together with breast meat; then removing white meat, and thus deboning is completed, a high recovery rate is secured while coping with individuality of a work, such as a size and imbalance between the left and right sides, in an automatic manner, and the apparatus comprises: a main tact transport section 29 and an auxiliary tact transport section 30 wherein the main tact transport section 29 includes a main tact transport 20 and a group of 1.sup.st to 12.sup.th stations.

Automatic deboning method and apparatus for upper half of poultry carcass

A method and apparatus for separating bone and meat of the upper half of a poultry carcass with a variety of the sizes are provided, wherein first cutting is effected in the neighborhood of a shoulder joint to disconnect tissues under influence of a separation force applied between the upper half of a poultry carcass and the head of a humerus, second cutting is effected along the surface of the front side of a furcula, and then breast meat is efficiently separated by a conventional device with a higher recovery rate and an auto-loading system comprising a plurality of buffer conveyors is provided, wherein the upper halves of poultry carcasses are continuously loaded to as many apparatuses for the separating without downtime. In the first cutting of the method and an apparatus for the separating, an inserting position and depth of an obliquely moving cutter blade (116) is properly determined with accuracy by the help of a guide bar with reference pieces, which is selected according to the size of the upper half of a poultry carcass and put inside the shoulder joints for setting reference planes, vertical and horizontal.
