PAES 508: 2007 Slaughterhouse Equipment - Splitting Saw for Hog Carcass Flashcards
vertebral column of an animal
backbone
safety cover for cutting mechanism
blade guard
holding mechanism for hand saw that tightens and keeps the blade in a vertical position
blade holders
small sharp points along the cutting side of the saw
blade teeth
blade of a saw with a small, sharp metal teeth along the cutting edge
cutting blade
mechanism that delivers rotating motion from the motor to the cutting blade
drive shaft
part of the machine that provides friction against the hand, reducing the gripping force needed to achieve a reliable grip
gripping handle
spaces between each segment of the blade to provide cooling and slurry removal
gullets
part of the saw used for suspending the entire machine, such that the hanger mounting bracket is located at the center of gravity of the machine
hanger mounting bracket
body of the splitting saw
main frame
percent of actual work used during splitting operation
percent splitting efficiency
machine with rotating circular blade used for cutting material
rotary saw/circular saw
number of hog carcass split per hour, expressed in head/h
splitting rate
tool with a metal blade designed to cut the backbone of hog carcass
splitting saw
spacing between the blade teeth, expressed in teeth per inch (TPI)
tooth pitch
linear displacement of the blade’s teeth per unit time, expressed in millimeter per second
blade speed
particles of bone accumulated during cutting
bone dust
depth of cut by the splitting saw through the backbone, expressed in millimeter
cutting depth
speed of cutting through the backbone, expressed in seconds
cutting speed
the physical measurement of an object as described by its length, width, height and thickness
dimension
measurement of the splitting saw in its maximum extended position from both ends parallel to the blade and its handle
overall length
measurement of the splitting saw from one side to the other side and perpendicular to its blade including the motor case as in the case of an electric motor type
overall width
amount of energy delivered by the splitting saw relative to the total energy input, expressed in percent
percent splitting efficiency
number of hogs split per unit time, expressed in heads per hour
splitting rate
actual time of splitting a single hog, expressed in seconds
splitting time
