Abstract
A device for separating bone material from meat tissue in a meat piece, such as a spine from a half part of a slaughtered animal, which device is provided with a support for the meat piece for processing and a separating member with a curved separating edge which is movably driven relative to the support and includes plate material, wherein the separating edge is provided with a series of teeth, each of which is embodied with a guide surface directed toward the inner side of the bend such that when bone material is severed it is carried away to the inside and contamination of the meat material is thereby avoided.
