Abstract:
1. An apparatus for processing meat and fish products, comprising: a processing tool; an actuating unit associated with the processing tool to move the processing tool out of a starting position into a processing position and vice versa, wherein the actuating unit comprises a cylinder unit with two pressure cylinders arranged one above the other and connected to each other, with the lower pressure cylinder constituting an active damping element and comprising an upper chamber and a lower chamber, wherein the lower pressure cylinder is connected to receive a constant system pressure in the lower chamber and a variable pressure in the upper chamber to vary the pressure in the upper chamber to control forces arising due to acceleration during movement of the processing tool between the starting and processing positions and due to processing forces on the processing tool during processing, wherein the processing tool is arranged on one of the two pressure cylinders and the two pressure cylinders are controllable independently of each other; and a control device operatively connected to the processing tool or actuating unit to control the processing tool.
