Meat processing assembly

An assembly for processing meat moving along a path of travel, said assembly comprising:

• at least one blade roller extending transverse to a length of the path of travel and including a plurality of spaced apart blades,
• said plurality of blades transversely connected to a length of said blade roller and rotatable therewith in substantially aligned relation to the length of the path of travel and in cutting relation to the meat,
• a marking roller disposed transverse to the length of the path of travel adjacent to said blade roller and including a plurality of marking sections connected to said marking roller and rotatable therewith relative to the length of the path of travel,
• said plurality of marking sections collectively oriented in transverse relation to the length of said marking roller, and a plurality of spaces each disposed between different adjacent ones of said plurality of marking sections,
• each of said plurality of blades disposed to pass through different ones of said plurality spaces between adjacent ones of said plurality of marking sections, concurrent to rotation of said blade roller and said marking roller,
• each of said plurality of marking sections including at least one marking member extending outwardly from a periphery of said marking roller into a penetrating orientation with the meat passing along the path of travel during rotation of the marking roller,
• a support assembly including at least one support roller disposed in supporting relation to the meat concurrently to disposition of said plurality of marking members into said penetrating orientation with the meat,
• a stripper structure including a plurality of fingers each having a free end, each of said free ends disposed within said plurality of spaces between adjacent ones of said plurality of marking sections, in removable relation to meat retained on said marking roller, and
• a plurality of slots extending between adjacent ones of said plurality of fingers, each of said plurality of slots structured to receive and allow passage therethrough of a different one of said plurality of marking sections, concurrent to rotation of said marking roller.
