Abstract

See full text

A method and an apparatus for automatic cutting of hams, with the hams conveyed on a first conveyor inwards below and to engagement with a carrier for the pubic bone of the ham, which is held by the carrier. The ham is conveyed further on by a second conveyor and an overhead conveyor for the carrier with the rind side lying on the second conveyor, where the pubic bone is pressed by a spring force against and is held by the carrier in a predetermined, vertical position. Cutting devices for the cutting of the hams are arranged at these conveyors. This apparatus and method makes it possible to position the hams precisely relative to the cutting tools which are to process tailbone, groin meat, groin fat and fat edge, irrespective of the sizes of the hams, owing to the engagement of the pubic bone with the carrier.
