Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for removal of pin bones from fish meat, preferably from a fillet of white fish, comprising a frame for supporting a drive device and a rotatably driven member driven by drive device, the rotatably driven member being provided with engagement means, and a counter pressure element for providing a clamping function between the counter pressure element and the rotatably driven element. The rotatably driven member has a curved convex engagement surface directed towards the fillet and adapted to match the shape of said fillet where the pin bones are located when the fillet is lying on a flat surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for removing fish bones from hist meat, or quills from killed poultry, comprising a cylinder provided with gripping means shaped as holes, a counter pressure element for achieving a squeezing function between the counter pressure element and the cylinder. The cylinder is mounted axially on the driving shaft for driving the cylinder. The cylinder is uncovered, i.e., it is not contained in any apparatus housing. The counter pressure element is designed with a lip, bearing against the rotatably driven element 22, at least by means of an edge. The invention further relates to a cylinder for a device of the above described type, which is provided with a plurality of recesses running across its envelope surface, substantially in its longitudinal direction. The recesses have at least one sharp edge formed along the joining line between the envelope surface and the inner surface of the recess. The invention also relates to a device incorporating the improved cylinder.

Abstract: A method and a machine for the production from relatively thick flat pieces of frozen meat, for example roast beef, of thin slices suitable for roasting or grilling. The method is characterized by the fact that the flat meat pieces, before thawing above the freezing point taking place, are passed through a channel-shaped space of flat rectangular cross-section and of decreasing height in the direction of conveyance, which space is formed between two opposite endless conveying belts running in the same direction and in which the meat pieces are mangled and rolled to a desired final slice thickness substantially without loss of meat juice and blood.
