Meat Processing Plants TRIZ Cases
- Interstation Food Line Control for Consistent Product Quality
Downstream sensor data adjusts upstream food line settings in real time, improving consistency and process efficiency across stations.
- Meat Grinder Plate and Knife Assembly for Fiber Alignment
Machined grinder plate orifices and an external knife align and shear meat fibers with lower turbulence, reducing protein release and stringy texture.
- Gambrel Track Sanitizing With Potassium Cleaner Dips
A potassium-based dip cleans and sanitizes gambrels on meat-packing tracks while cutting water and energy use and limiting bacterial growth.
- Meat-Packing Gambrel Dip Cleaning With Potassium-Based Cleaner
See how a track dip immerses empty gambrels in potassium-based cleaner between carcasses, improving sanitation while reducing water and energy use.
- Poultry Leg Severing Clamping and Conveyor Mechanism
A clamping device holds the thigh while a cutting blade severs the drumstick at the knee joint.
- Poultry Conveyor Carrier Decoupling for Wear Reduction
Selective carrier decoupling reduces drive member wear and noise in high-speed poultry conveyors, while a plastic wheel surface prevents metal particle release.
- Automated Meat Cutting System Using Anatomical Marker Detection
Imaging assemblies locate anatomical markers on moving forequarters to guide automated cutting assemblies, eliminating manual labor variability.
- Fish Backbone Separation Using Conveyor and Cutting Levers
Conveyor belts sandwich fish backbone parts while levers position sections for fin and kidney cutters to remove impurities, preserving meat yield.
- Pork Loin Cutting Segmentation for Uniform Meat Color
Separating spinalis dorsi from longissimus dorsi eliminates unappetizing two-tone coloration while maintaining efficient tissue utilization.
- Steamship Pork Leg Roast Upright Presentation and Carving
Trimming shank meat to expose the fibula bone creates a squared face that stabilizes the pork leg, resolving handling difficulties during cooking.
- Poultry Processing Line Synchronized Switch Mechanism
Dynamic switch positioning prevents jamming during high-speed poultry processing by maintaining synchronization between carriers and units.
- X-ray Carcass Imaging for Automated Cutting Path Determination
Sequential imaging with one X-ray system determines accurate cutting paths on vertical carcasses, reducing radiation exposure and operational complexity.
- Poultry Tenderloin Clipper Wishbone Separation Mechanism
A poultry clipper uses a separating fin to fold the wishbone upward for tender removal.
- Poultry Paw Cutting Apparatus with Synchronized Conveyor Guide
A poultry paw cutting apparatus uses a synchronized chain and guide member to position paws for precise severing.
- Intermittent Blade Mechanism for Fish Head Removal
An intermittent drive mechanism converts continuous conveyor motion into precise blade reciprocation, eliminating mistiming damage in fish head removal systems.
- Automated Kebab Slicing System for High-Volume Production
Computer-programmed slicing apparatus segments extruded meat blocks into uniform thin slices for continuous food processing lines.
- Tomographic Meat Evaluation for Automated Carcass Cutting
Tomographic imaging acquires three-dimensional carcass data to determine precise tissue volumes and cutting parameters.
- Breast-First Poultry Wing Cutter for Consistent Meat Weight
Inverting carcass orientation aligns shoulders so rotating blades cut precise breast meat portions, resolving inconsistent wing weights.
- Food Strand Weight Cutting with Multi-Angle Optical Detection
A fourth detector positioned opposite existing sensors captures marking data from a distinct viewing angle to measure food strand cross sections.
