Abstract
In the removal of internal bones in a fore-end of a split carcass the shank bone, the humerus bone and the shoulder blade are cut free by machine, so that subsequently they can easily be removed from the rest of the fore-end. A transport tool () is brought to grip around the free end of the shank bone. The fore-end is then pulled past cutting tools () by means of the transport tool, and the cutting tools () hereby perform cutting operations along the shank bone, the humerus bone and the shoulder blade guided by these bones, so that the bones are at least partially cut free from the rest of the fore-end. The articulations between the shank bone and the humerus bone, and the connections of the humerus bone to the shoulder blade are maintained at least partially unbroken during the cutting operations, so that the tractive force from the transport tool () by the grip of the tool round the free end of the shank bone is transferred to the bones via their unbroken connections.
