The meat processing apparatus includes a conveying line including a plurality of conveying units arranged in series, at least one processing station for processing the meat conveyed by the conveying line, and a controller for controlling the conveying units. The plurality of conveying units include: a first conveying unit having a first conveyor and a first sensor for detecting the meat placed on the first conveyor; and a second conveying unit located downstream of the first conveying unit, and having a second conveyor and a second sensor for detecting the meat placed on the second conveyor. The controller is configured to drive and control the first conveyor and the second conveyor based on a detection result of the second sensor.

Meat processing apparatus

An elastic support device according to an embodiment includes: a first member including a first magnet; and a second member including a second magnet, disposed so as to face the first member, and movable relative to the first member in response to receipt of an external force. A magnetic force acting between the first magnet and the second magnet holds the second member in an original position when the second member does not receive an external force, and the magnetic force returns the second member to the original position when the second member is moved due to receipt of an external force.

Elastic support device

In an automatic deboning apparatus, an X-ray irradiation unit is provided on the upstream side of a meat cutting unit in a direction of transport of the work. In the X-ray irradiation unit, an X-ray r is irradiated to a work w from an X-ray irradiation device, an image of the X-ray transmitted through the work is subjected to image processing in an image analysis process unit, and two-dimensional position coordinates of a bone part are thereby obtained. In the meat cutting unit, three robot arms are provided with cutting blades. A storage unit of a controller stores three-dimensional position coordinates of a target operation course of each of the cutting blades. The target operation course is corrected on the basis of the two-dimensional position coordinates of the bone part obtained for each work in the image analysis process unit.

Deboning method and apparatus for meat with bone using X-ray

A de-boning method and apparatus for automating incision making to the meat of bone laden meat and scraping operation of meat from the bone laden meat by a meat separator, are proposed. The apparatus has a clamping devicefor clamping an end part 'd' of unconcealed part of the bone of bone laden meat, a meat separatorhaving meat scraping platesfor pinching a bone of the bone laden meat, a cutterlocated between the clamping deviceand the meat separator, a clamping device lifting means, and rotation drive meansandfor rotating for rotating the clamping deviceand the meat separatorin synchronism with each other, whereby spiral incision is made to a part of the meat of the bone laden meat by rotating the clamping device, and remaining part of the meat is scraped off as the clamping device is lifted while rotating in synchronism with the meat scraper.

Automatic deboning method and apparatus for deboning bone laden meat

A deboning system of meat for a small or intermediate processing factory in which the space is saved while reduction the cost by limiting the processing range of a work thereby limiting the processing functions to those of high necessity. The deboning system of meat comprises a shoulder blade boning station () having a specified interval from a charging station () and a humerus deboning station () having the same interval disposed sequentially and linearly at a constant interval on the downstream side of the charging station (). A station () for discharging the humerus is disposed on the downstream side of the humerus deboning station () and a work is tact-carried while being hanged through fixed and movable carrying passages. The work is deboned during the carrying process, and deboned humerus is discharged from a final station (discharging station) ().
