Abstract

See full text

A food processing system and a method, includes: an overhang rail system having a plurality of spaced apart shackles designed for carrying carcass parts such that the carcass parts are at least partly freely hanging, a re-positioning apparatus having an engagement structure selectively moveable by a moving mechanism, and at least one food processing device for performing at least one food processing step on the carcass parts while the carcass parts are conveyed past the at least one food processing device. The plurality of spaced apart shackles and the engagement structure move in a synchronized manner. The engagement structure is configured to engage the carcass parts at a position different from the carrying position of the shackle and adjusting the angular position relative to a vertical axis from an initial angular position to a pre-defined angular processing position.
