METHOD OF DEBONING ANIMAL MEAT BLOCK AND DEBONING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2006/080085
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
It is intended to establish a deboning method and a deboning apparatus whereby a meat block at the humerus part j having a part of the scapula k remaining therein, which corresponds to the shoulder part of a back split block of an animal meat (for example, beef, pork, horse meat, goat meat or poultry meat), can be completely automatically deboned after a simple pretreatment by human hand. Namely, a method which comprises: (c) the first step of perpendicularly splitting a meat block to expose bones; the second step (d) of peeling off the meat from the upper part of the humerus to the lower part at the center thereof with the use of a meat separator and horizontally cutting the muscle at the center of the humerus; (e) the third step of further peeling off the meat down to the joint q of the humerus j with the scapula k with the use of the meat separator and measuring the distance between the upper standard point of the humerus and the upper part of the projection at the joint q to thereby determine the drawing stroke of the meat separator in the subsequent step based on the length thus measured; the fourth steps (f to g) of peeling off in a stepwise manner the meat around the joint q with the use of a meat separator while cutting the meat around the joint q; and (h) the fifth step of cutting the tendons around the scapula k and peeling off the meat around the scapula with the use of a meat separator.
