Cost benefit analysis for combined splitting and spinal cord removal
12 December 2017
Focus area: Advanced manufacturing
Program stream: Hands-off processing
Project number: 2017-1060
Due to recent progress in automating other aspects of red meat processing and new ideas surrounding how carcase splitting could be automated, there is renewed interest in the potential economic benefits of automating the process.
As well as splitting, it is envisaged that removal of spinal cord material could be included in the automation.
