INTRODUCTION
OPERATOR’S MANUAL
MODEL TC700M/MC TENDERIZER
The ROSS TC700M/MC Tenderizer is a blade-type mechanical tenderizer. The ROSS
blades are narrow and very sharp so that they actually cut their way through meat tissues and
fibers and not merely punch holes by finding paths of least resistance. The special stainless
steel alloy blade has a tensile strength of approximately 300,000 pounds per square inch
which provides exceptional edge durability combined with extreme toughness. The ROSS
Tenderizers can process bone–in meat that is up to 7” high and 12” wide. The most
significant technological breakthrough in mechanical tenderizers has been the ROSS system
for tenderizing meat with the bones left in.
The ROSS blades are actuated by magnetic head plates so that each blade is actually
driven through the meat by magnetic force. These head plates consist of a sophisticated
array of rare-earth magnets and special electrical steel pole pieces. The magnets provide just
enough force to drive the blades through the toughest meat, but no more. When a ROSS
blade hits anything tougher than meat, the magnetic force is overcome and the individual
blade simply stops trying to penetrate – the blade is, therefore, undamaged and the other
blades are allowed to fully penetrate the meat.
The 700M/MC Tenderizer provides the utmost in safety to operating personnel by
incorporating pivoted guards that completely cover the operating area of the Tenderizer.
Magnetically operated switches are built in the guard mechanism in such a manner that both
guards must be closed before the machine will operate. If either guard is opened while the
machine is running, power will be removed from the main motor and all operation will stop
.
