A sorting system is disclosed for reclaiming lean meat from high-fat meat trimmings. The sorting system includes a meat dicing machine which receives laterally extending whole meat trimmings and which dices such meat trimmings without grinding or extruding, and without disturbing the lateral distribution of the meat. This results in a lateral distribution of meat trimmings, without requiring vibratory distribution which is disfavored in meat processing plants. A wide-belt inspection conveyor is positioned at the downstream end of the meat dicing machine to receive the laterally distributed meat dices. The wide-belt inspection conveyor operates at a greater linear speed than does the meat dicingmachine to longitudinally space the meat dices from each other. An optical inspection and sorting station is positioned at the downstream end of the wide- belt inspection conveyor to differentiate relatively lean meat dices from relatively fatty meat dices and to separate such meat dices from each other.
Divulgation d'un système de tri pour la récupération de la viande maigre des parures de viande riches en gras. Le système comporte une machine qui reçoit les parures de viande entières disposées dans le sens de la longueur et les coupe en dés sans hachage ni extrusion et sans déranger leur distribution latérale. Il en résulte une distribution latérale de la viande, sans avoir à recourir à la distribution par vibrations, processus auquel les établissements de transformation de la viande sont défavorables. Un transporteur à bande large utilisé pour l'inspection fonctionne à une vitesse linéaire supérieure à celle de la machine à couper la viande, ce qui espace longitudinalement les dés de viande les uns des autres. Un poste d'inspection optique et de tri, à l'extrémité en aval du transporteur, sert à distinguer les dés de viande maigre de ceux relativement gras et à les séparer les uns des autres.
