Claim 0:
1. A slaughtered pig part processing plant comprising:
a plurality of pig part processing stations; and
a conveyor supporting, via respective couplings, spaced apart clamp structures, said conveyor advancing said couplings with a respective one of said clamp structures for each of said couplings in a machine direction (T) from a first station for introducing a pig part between jaws of one of said clamp structures, towards a last station for removing a bone of said pig part from said one of said clamp structures;
wherein said clamp structures each comprising a carrier part carrying a first jaw and a second jaw, wherein said first jaw comprises a first edge oriented towards a second edge of said second jaw, said first edge and said second edge defining between them a gap (G1), said first jaw and said second jaw each comprising a first face and an opposite second face;
wherein said first jaw is being mounted to turn relative to said carrier part about an axis (A) from a first position to a second position where said gap (G1) is opened up; and
wherein a force applied against said first face of said first jaw turns said first jaw from said first position, a biasing force, biasing said first jaw towards said first position at least when said clamp structures move away from said first station.
