ABSTRACT:
A meat flattening machine having two vertically stacked rows of non-sharpened edge stainless steel rollers adjacent to one another in an aluminum frame. Each row has at least two and preferably six rollers wherein the top row is spaced further apart from the bottom rows The plural stacked rows allow for the meat to be pulled and stretched between the rollers for flattening the meat. Four screws connect each corner of the stacked rollers to an adjacent corner of the other stacked rollers to allow for the spacing between the stacked rows to be adjustable. Each roller has parallel rows of rectangular ridges having non-sharpened edges. The bottom roller of each stack can have grooves approximately 1/16 inch deep, while the above rollers can have grooves approximately 1/8 inch deep between the rectangular ridges. The frame includes a removable electric motor, stainless steel sprockets and stainless steel chains for rotating the rollers. Removing the motor allows all the remaining components to be inserted into a dishwasher. A removable cover on the frame includes a bump guard for the on and off switch for the motor which prevents the device from being accidentally activated. The cover, the catch tray and the rollers can be stainless steel while the frame can be aluminum. A proximity safety switch can activate the on/off switch only when the cover is on the frame.
