Abstract
The invention relates to an improved flattening device for flattening pieces of meat so that said pieces of meat have a larger surface and a reduced thickness. The inventive device comprises a conveyor device (15, 31) on which the pieces of meat to be flattened are supplied to the flattening zone. In the area of the flattening zone mallet rolls or flattening rolls (29) are provided that can be displaced relative to the piece of meat. The distance between the mallet rolls or flattening rolls (29) that can be moved across the piece of meat to be flattened and a counter pressure device or surface (33) can be preferably reduced while the piece of meat is flattened.
Claims21
A flattening device for flattening pieces of meat so that the surface area of the pieces of meat is increased while the thickness is simultaneously reduced, characterized by the following features
- there is provided a conveying arrangement (15, 31), via which the pieces of meat which have to be flattened can be sent to a flattening zone,
- beating rollers or rolling-out rollers (29) which can be displaced relative to the piece of meat are provided in the region of the flattening zone, and
- the distance between the beating rollers or rolling-out rollers (29), which can be moved across the piece of meat which is to be flattened, and a counterpressure arrangement or surface (33) can preferably be reduced during the operation of flattening the piece of meat.
