  • Patent number: 10226053
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring a meat processing machine having a meat processing unit for processing input meat products fed thereto into output meat products, an input sensor unit, and a control unit for controlling the meat processing unit, wherein the control unit is connected to the input sensor unit, comprising the steps: feeding input meat products to the meat processing unit, acquiring input product data, in particular geometric data and/or weight data, of the input meat product fed to the meat processing unit by means of the input sensor unit, and determining a tolerance variable for a yield-relevant processing parameter by means of a mathematical model or a database, in each case depending on the acquired input product data. The invention further relates to a meat processing machine for performing the method.

  • Patent number: 9545114
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a conveying apparatus for items in the fish and meat processing industry, comprising a conveyor belt for conveying the items in a conveying direction, at least one mounting base extending at least along a partial section of the conveyor belt and at least one functional unit configured for interaction with the items, wherein each of the functional units is arranged on a holding means and is characterized in that the holding means are designed and adapted in such a manner that each of the functional units is separably connected to the mounting base by means of the holding means and is arranged so as to be adjustable at least in the conveying direction.

  • Publication number: 20140012540
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for automatically monitoring an apparatus for processing meat products, in particular fish, comprising a prediction unit for determining a yield-relevant prediction variable, the prediction unit being connected to input sensors for acquiring geometric and/or weight data of the meat product fed to the apparatus for meat processing, a yield determining unit for determining at least one yield-relevant yield variable, the yield determining unit being connected to the output sensors for acquiring geometric and/or weight data of the meat product processed by the apparatus for meat processing, and a difference unit for calculating a difference variable from the difference between one of the prediction variables and the at least one corresponding yield variable, the difference unit in each case being connected to the prediction unit and the yield determining unit. The invention further relates to a corresponding method for automatically monitoring the apparatus.
