ABSTRACT:
A meat cutter for removing the backbone of a pork loin consisting of a conveyor apparatus and a cutter assembly for cutting the backbone portion from a pork loin as the pork loin is moved through a cutting station. The cutter assembly consists of a cutter head mounted for movement towards and away from the conveyor. The cutter head is biased for movement towards a predetermined plane disposed above the conveyor and has a leading end disposed in a direction opposite to the direction of travel of the conveyor through the cutting station. A cutter blade is mounted on a head for movement in a cutting path that extends transversely across and is spaced above the conveyor. A guide shoe is mounted on the head and located at the leading end of the head to be elevated by engagement with an advancing pork loin to elevate the head to locate the cutting portion of the cutter blade at a predetermined level below the plane of the upper surface of the backbone of the pork loin to cut the backbone from the loin at a uniform depth below the upper surface along the full length of the loin as the loin is driven through the cutting station.
