Device for cutting chicken, beef and pork meat into small pieces

Abstract

The invention relates to a machine for loosening or cutting the different fibres of the meats for human consumption into small pieces, such as chicken, beef, pork meat or meat from any animal with fibres. This is characterized by having two parallel shafts that rotate in the same direction, wherein by introducing the meat between the two blade-carrying shafts, in relation to the blades of the opposing blade-carrying shaft, permitting the tearing up of the fibres of the meat with the blades, the size of the cut pieces are determined according to the distance between the blades of one blade-carrying shaft and the other with which they intersect. This machine has different transmission means for moving the blade-carrying shafts with the motor force of the motor, given that they engage with the shaft having a speed reducer, which in turn engages with the blade-carrying shafts, wherein these can be pinions that engage with one another or via chains or via pulleys having bands, wherein these cutting machines can be used with combination gear means, as well as pulleys with bands and pinions with chains, which engage with one another or vice versa, wherein the blade-carrying shafts are disposed to be used with peripheral groups in a line of up to 4, 6 and 8 blades on each of the two blade-carrying shafts, and wherein the size of the fibres loosened from the bulk of the fibres is determined by the distance and speed present between the linear peripheral sets between each blade-carrying shaft.
