ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for producing multiple portions of meat. A plurality of product mandrels having an open-top recess are mounted on a conveyor for travel along a selected path. The mandrels are selectively rotatable about a vertical axis. Two sets of parallel slots are provided in the mandrel and extend to a depth at least equal to the depth of the recess. Each set of parallel slots is disposed to intersect the other at a selected angle. Each product mandrel is moved through a pair of cutting stations which carry laterally spaced knives extending downwardly. The product mandrel is rotated through an angle which aligns one set of intersecting slots parallel to the knife blades in a cutting station after passing through the other cuffing station. A plurality of laterally spaced cuts are made through the larger piece of meat to produce smaller portions.
