ABSTRACT:
A floating knife assembly with positive blade positioning for use with a meat defatting machine to trim a portion of a layer of fat from a piece of meat while leaving a desired thickness of fat layer thereon.
The knife assembly includes a gauge plate which engages the piece of meat, riding on an upper surface thereof as the meat is urged toward the knife. The gauge plate and knife are interconnected by a linkage system comprising a gauge plate position sensor and a power ram which urges the knife to a desired position relative to the piece of meat dependent upon the position of the gauge plate. The knife is securely locked into position as an individual piece of meat is urged therepast assuring that a constant thickness of fat is retained on the meat.
