ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a tenderizing machine which is designed to tenderize deboned meat pieces. The inventive machine is equipped with two stacked tenderizing assemblies, each of the assemblies comprising an integrated pair of rotating rollers which are provided with cutting members that extend out from the periphery thereof and which are disposed close to one another, such as to define an adjustable-size opening. In addition, at least one of the rollers of each assembly is supported such that it can move away from the other roller against an opposer as the meat pieces move between said two rollers. Moreover, each of the tenderizing assemblies is equipped with respective controls for adjusting the distance between the cutting members of each pair of rollers and for selectively blocking the movement of at least one of the moving rollers of each of the assemblies.
