Abstract

Each of the meat gripping and moving cylinders in a meat scraping machine may be removed from the machine as a complete subassembly and disassembled quickly and easily for cleaning, without the need for tools. Each cylinder includes a carrier framework mounting removable ring supports which maintain a plurality of separate, toothed, blade-like meat gripping and driving rings in spaced, concentric position on the framework. During assembly, the rings are placed on the framework before the last support is inserted. The last support is then inserted and locked in position, which locks the rings into position on the framework.
