Claim 15:
16. A method for removing essentially V-shaped strips from meat products fed in a transport direction, comprising the following steps:
transporting the meat products in the transport direction by means of a transport conveyor;
detecting specific characteristics of the meat products using a detector operable to detect the specific characteristics of the meat products;
cutting of an essentially V-shaped strip from the meat product by means of a cutting apparatus having two circular knives, wherein the two circular knives are set substantially in a V-shape to each other in a position enclosing an angle α and the size of the angle α is set as a function of the characteristics;
wherein when cutting the V-shaped strip, the cutting apparatus is controlled by means of a control device as a function of the characteristics detected;
wherein the two circular knives strike the meat product transported in transport direction T at the same time, in such a manner that cutting of the meat product is performed simultaneously by both circular knives; and
wherein setting of the size of the angle α takes place exclusively by a synchronous adjustment of both circular knives.
