ABSTRACT:
A discharge mechanism for meat-comminuting machine is disclosed, which comprises a housing structure and a discharge rotor. The housing structure defines a discharge chamber adapted to receive meat comminuted by the meat-comminuting machine, through a front mouth of the discharge chamber, and defines a back wall of the discharge chamber and a cylindrical wall thereof. The discharge rotor is arranged to be rotatably driven in the discharge chamber for discharging the comminuted meat from the discharge chamber, through an outlet of the cylindrical wall, via centrifugal force. The discharge rotor has a hub extending axially, an annular flange extending radially from a back end of the hub and having an inner, circumferential edge and an outer, circumferential edge, which is close to but spaced by a circumferential gap from the other, circumferential wall, and fins extending radially from the hub, toward the other, circumferential edge, and axially from a front face of the annular flange, toward a front end of the hub. The discharge rotor has formations on the back face of the annular flange, either spiral grooves or spiral ribs, for removing any comminuted meat tending to accumulate between the back face of the annular flange and the back wall of the discharge chamber structure by displacing the tending-to-accumulate meat radially outwardly toward the outer, circumferential edge of the annular flange, via centrifugal force. The hub has a hollow portion opening backwardly. A tube extending into the discharge chamber, through a hole in the back wall of the discharge chamber, into the hollow portion of the hub is used for drawing a partial vacuum within the discharge chamber.
