Patent number: 10111444Abstract: A meat grinding reclamation system is disclosed herein. The system uses a first meat grinder coaxially coupled to a second meat grinder. The first meat grinder separates meat from undesired material such as gristle, hard fat, connective tissue, sinew, and bone. Most of the meat is ground, while the undesired material is remixed into a small portion of the meat and is moved from the first grinder into the second grinder. The second grinder separates remaining meat and carrier meat from the undesired material, grinding the reclaimed meat and moving it into a bin with the originally separated meat. The waste material is moved to a waste bin. Pressurized air may be used to prevent the waste material from becoming clogged in the system.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2013Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: ROME, LTDInventors: Philip Charles Alexander Metcalf, Charles Arthur William Metcalf

Patent number: 10070656Abstract: A meat grinding reclamation system is disclosed herein. The system uses a plate having a plurality of holes through which meat is processed, and a smaller number of waste material indentations that feed waste material away from the meat into separate uniform curved openings. The center of the plate is provided with a shaft opening, which allows use of a center drive shaft across the plate.Type: GrantFiled: July 14, 2017Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: Rome, Ltd.Inventors: Philip Charles Alexander Metcalf, Charles Arthur William Metcalf

Patent number: 9539580Abstract: A meat grinding reclamation system is disclosed herein. The system uses a conical feed screw. The conical feed screw is provided with a shaft and two flights. The first flight changes from a constant diameter to an expanding diameter. The second flight is provided co-helically along the shaft with a portion of the first flight. As both flights expand in diameter, meat processed through the meat grinding reclamation system accelerates, dislodging undesirable material such as gristle from the meat, before the meat decreases in velocity to present the meat for further processing.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2013Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: Rome, Ltd.Inventors: Philip Charles Alexander Metcalf, Charles Arthur William Metcalf
