Abstract
A method and apparatus for separating poultry meat from bone are disclosed, in which separation is accomplished through the use of centrifugal force. A poultry section is attached to a rotating member, and the high-speed rotation of said member, with controlled acceleration, causes the desired separation of meat from bone. The method taught is a dry method, and produces large chunks of meat, neatly and conveniently separated from the bone by centrifugal forces alone. Also disclosed is an apparatus which separates meat from bone of a plurality of carcasses in semi-automatic fashion. Poultry pieces, continuously attached to the apparatus by hand, are then automatically deboned by centrifugal force, and the meat recovered.
