Abstract

A cattle carcass processing system comprises a carcass input system (1, fig 1) a deboning system (2, fig 1), a trimming system (3, fig 1), a quality control inspection system (4, fig 1), a primal membrane removal system (5, fig 1), and a packaging system (6, fig 1). The carcass side 11 is split into a hindquarter 14 and a forequarter 15 and alternate forequarters and hindquarters are delivered onto a main processing rail 21. The deboning system comprises the overhead rail along which a plurality of carriages (22, fig 4) run. Each carriage carries a support hook 13 for a carcass quarter. An incoming quarter is weighed and the weight and other details are introduced into the system by scanning the unique bar-coded label (29, fig 4) attached to the quarter while it is weighed. This animal identification is tracked and traced throughout the remainder of the process. The beef quarters are subsequently de-boned using electromechanical de-boning machines. Meat cuts and/or bones are removed. The conveyor line minimises wasted operator movement in retrieving and removing beef quarters from each cutting and or deboning station. Workers are paced to complete their tasks in a defined time period by setting the same residence time each deboning and/or cutting station.
