Meat separator and device for stripping meat part from bone-in meat

A meat part separating apparatus for bone-in meat comprising:

• a bone part holding device that is configured to hold a bone part of the bone-in meat;
• a meat separator that separates a meat part attached to the bone part by coming into contact with an outer peripheral surface of the bone part of bone-in meat that moves relatively with respect to the meat separator, the meat separator comprising:
• a plurality of clamp blocks in which each of the plurality of clamp blocks include a scraping contact portion that comes into contact with the outer peripheral surface of the bone part and in which each of the scraping contact portions cooperate with each other so as to clamp the outer peripheral surface of the bone part,
• wherein at least one of the clamp blocks is configured so that at least a part of the scraping contact portion of the clamp block is displaceable in a plurality of directions along an outer surface shape of the bone part, and the at least one of the clamp blocks includes a biasing function portion that is configured to elastically push back the displacement in a direction moving away from the bone part;
• and
• a moving device that is configured to relatively move the bone part holding device and the meat separator approximately in a longitudinal direction of the bone part held by the bone part holding device.
