Abstract
In order to achieve a degree of separation of muscular tissue from bones, ligaments, cartilage, fascia, connective tissue, fatty tissue and the like which is as high as possible for a careful treatment, a process and an apparatus for processing meat is proposed in which the meat is cut up by dividing this into planar pieces of a certain thickness in a cutting device, after which a mechanical tenderizing of the planar pieces of meat of a certain thickness takes place in a tenderizing device in a second step, and a single- or multi-stage separating process takes place in a separating device in a further step, the mechanical tenderizing of the planar pieces of meat in the second step being precisely matched with the separating process in the further step.

Process for processing meat, comprising the steps of,
- cutting up the meat by dividing the meat into planar pieces of a certain thickness,
- mechanically tenderizing the planar pieces;
- and
- separating the tenderized pieces of meat into constituents using a pattern that is matched to a tenderizing pattern used in performing said tenderizing step.
Apparatus for processing meat, comprising a cutting device for dividing the meat into planar pieces of a certain thickness, a tenderizing device for mechanically tenderizing the planar pieces using a tenderizing pattern, and a separating device for separating constituents of the tenderized pieces using a pattern that matches said tenderizing pattern.
