(57) A meat cutting band machine for slice cutting soft meats. The machine (10) comprises
a base (11) and a vertical band blade support frame (15) secured to the base (11).
A pair of band blade wheels (16, 16') are rotatably supported in a spaced apart manner
on the band blade support frame (15). A flat band blade (17) is drivingly supported
about the wheels (16, 16'). A drive (18 to 22) is provided to rotate the wheels (16,
16') and the blade (17). An opening (24) is provided in the band blade support frame
(15) to expose a meat cutting area (25) along a straight path of the band blade (17).
A stationary table (14) is secured below the meat cutting area (25). A horizontally
displaceable meat support table (26) is displaceable on an axis parallel to the plane
of the flat band blade (17) to displace an end portion of a piece of meat placed on
a support surface thereof against a cutting edge of the band blade. The horizontally
displaceable meat support table (26) has its support surface inclined rearwardly downward
with the band blade (17) extending at substantially a right angle with respect to
the support surface of the displaceable meat support table (26).
