Zusammenfassung: | An apparatus for automatically processing an animal carcass, the apparatus comprising carcass support means (170, 171, 201) for supporting a carcass (82) after removal of the viscera and for restraining the carcass (82) against lateral movement, splitting support means (81) selectively movable lengthwise along the carcass (182), the apparatus being characterised by an opposed pair of spine tracking means (86) carried by the splitting support means (81) and for engaging with the carcass at opposite sides of and in close proximity to the spine of the carcass (82) to straddle the spine and therefore to locate and restrain the spine against lateral movement and for moving along and following the spine along its length with a rolling contact, the spine tracking means (86) being urged into engagement with the carcass (82) to positively locate on opposite sides of the spine and to remain on opposite sides of the spine as the spine tracking means (86) moves lengthwise with the rolling contact along the spine, cutting means (87,200) mounted to the splitting support means (81) for cutting the carcass (82) along the spine to split the carcass, the cutting means (87,200) being operative to cut the carcass (82) generally at the location of the tracking means (86) whereby the cutting action of the cutting means (87,200) occurs where the tracking means (86) is restraining the spine against lateral movement. |
