Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and a vibration separator system for conveying and separating meat pieces and comprising a frame assembly having support columns, a supporting screen box being supported by the frame assembly on elastic suspension elements mounted between the frame assembly and the supporting screen box, a supply trough having an outlet and serving to receive the meat pieces, a vibration motor and a controller. The vibration motor is supported by and connected to the supporting screen box for reciprocating the supporting screen box. The controller is connected to the vibration motor for controlling the reciprocating movement of the supporting screen box. The supporting screen box comprises a first conveying sector for alignment of the meat pieces into a single row and a second conveying sector comprising a chicane for elongating the conveying path of travel as compared to the first conveying sector.
