Abstract: A meat separator separates meat part attached to bone part by coming into contact with outer peripheral surface of the bone part of bone-in meat that moves relatively with respect to the meat separator. The meat separator includes a plurality of clamp blocks. The clamp blocks each include scraping contact portion that comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the bone part, and the scraping contact portions cooperate with each other so as to clamp the outer peripheral surface of the bone part. At least one of the clamp blocks is configured so that at least a part of the scraping contact portion of the clamp block is displaceable in a plurality of directions along outer surface shape of the bone part, and the at least one of the clamp blocks includes biasing function portion that elastically pushes back the displacement in direction moving away from bone part.

Abstract: In a deboning process, a knee joint length is measured in a work loading section of a first process station, and incision making of a thigh meat portion is performed in a second process station based on the measured knee joint length. At the same time, the entire length of a work is measured, and the knee joint length is calculated from previously collected data based on the measured entire length of the work. Positioning of a cutting blade and a meat separator is performed based on these values in subsequent process stations, and cutting of a tendon adhering to a knee joint and tearing of thigh meat are performed. A thigh bone is separated from a lower thigh in a further process station.

Abstract: In an automated deboning device for deboning a bone-in leg of livestock carcass, a clamp unit 12 suspending the work w includes a servomotor 104, a threaded shaft 106 connected to an output shaft of the servomotor 104 and a lifting and lowering block 108 threadably mounted on the threaded shaft 106. A lifting and lowering roller 92 mounted on a lifting and lowering shaft 70 travels in a traveling path 94 to lower and transfer the work w to a next work station. By bring a swinging roller 84 mounted on the lifting and lowering shaft 70 in contact with the cam plate 170, 180, 182, the lifting and lowering shaft 70 is rotated by a setting angle so that the work w faces round cutter blades 22, 64. Thus, the pathway of the round cutter blades 22, 64 can be approximately straight, thereby simplifying and reducing the cost of the moving mechanism.

Abstract: A hydraulic drive system that does not cause a decrease in efficiency of actuators, does not hinder an optimal action of devices such as flow adjustment valves, and does not cause any corrosion of water acting as an operating fluid. The system uses water as an operating fluid. The system includes a hydraulic generation apparatus 40 including, a main tank 41, a return path 52, an accessory tank 54, and a water disposal apparatus 56 disposed in a path 57. The operating fluid from structuring devices of the processing apparatuses 10, 20 and 30 flows through the return path 52. The operating fluid flows from the accessory tank 54 to the main tank 41 through the path 57 and the water disposal apparatus 56.

Abstract: A composition for resin-bonded magnets. The resin-bonded magnets using the composition of the resin have excellent service lives in industry, excellent magnetic characteristics and excellent mechanical strength. A composition for resin-bonded magnets contains a magnetic powder and resin binder. The magnetic powder contains a transition metal element as one of the constituent elements. The binder contains, as the major ingredient, a thermosetting resin containing an organic peroxide and having radical-polymerization reactivity, and is further incorporated with an N-oxyl compound. Also disclosed is a composition including magnetic powder, thermosetting resin having radical-polymerization reactivity and organic oxide as the major ingredients, and a resin-bonded magnet using the same.
