Meat Processing Plants TRIZ Cases

Downstream sensor data adjusts upstream food line settings in real time, improving consistency and process efficiency across stations.

Machined grinder plate orifices and an external knife align and shear meat fibers with lower turbulence, reducing protein release and stringy texture.

A potassium-based dip cleans and sanitizes gambrels on meat-packing tracks while cutting water and energy use and limiting bacterial growth.

See how a track dip immerses empty gambrels in potassium-based cleaner between carcasses, improving sanitation while reducing water and energy use.

A clamping device holds the thigh while a cutting blade severs the drumstick at the knee joint.

Selective carrier decoupling reduces drive member wear and noise in high-speed poultry conveyors, while a plastic wheel surface prevents metal particle release.

Imaging assemblies locate anatomical markers on moving forequarters to guide automated cutting assemblies, eliminating manual labor variability.

Conveyor belts sandwich fish backbone parts while levers position sections for fin and kidney cutters to remove impurities, preserving meat yield.

Separating spinalis dorsi from longissimus dorsi eliminates unappetizing two-tone coloration while maintaining efficient tissue utilization.

Trimming shank meat to expose the fibula bone creates a squared face that stabilizes the pork leg, resolving handling difficulties during cooking.

Dynamic switch positioning prevents jamming during high-speed poultry processing by maintaining synchronization between carriers and units.

Sequential imaging with one X-ray system determines accurate cutting paths on vertical carcasses, reducing radiation exposure and operational complexity.

A poultry clipper uses a separating fin to fold the wishbone upward for tender removal.

A poultry paw cutting apparatus uses a synchronized chain and guide member to position paws for precise severing.

An intermittent drive mechanism converts continuous conveyor motion into precise blade reciprocation, eliminating mistiming damage in fish head removal systems.

Computer-programmed slicing apparatus segments extruded meat blocks into uniform thin slices for continuous food processing lines.

Tomographic imaging acquires three-dimensional carcass data to determine precise tissue volumes and cutting parameters.

Inverting carcass orientation aligns shoulders so rotating blades cut precise breast meat portions, resolving inconsistent wing weights.

A fourth detector positioned opposite existing sensors captures marking data from a distinct viewing angle to measure food strand cross sections.

Segmenting filling operations across multiple stations on a circular conveyor reduces preparation line length while maintaining orderly meat bar production.

A multi-bird poultry shackle stacks leg loops vertically on a single stanchion to hold six birds simultaneously.

Teeth on rotating circular blades mechanically penetrate poultry skin to improve breading adhesion without high scalding yield loss or discoloration.

Automated conveying and gripping mechanisms transport hams through a deboning unit, reducing operator fatigue from manual handling.

Two moving tamping shoes apply alternating vertical forces to consolidate meat fragments into a dense block.

Rectangular apertures in the grid plate allow slime and water to drain away, resolving cleaning difficulties while maintaining reliable fish transport.

Electronic sensors measure actual height and inclination, guiding calculation units to adjust machine feet and eliminate uneven floor misalignment errors.
