Dear colleague, I have a vague clue about what these terme might be, but need some help with them; can anyone advise?

Tenderloin separator, breast tendon harvester, Knuckle pusher

are these objects for removing hairs at specific places of the body?

Best regards,

1 vraag? Dit zijn eigenlijk wel 2 aparte vragen, aangezien het duidelijk om 2 afzonderlijke termen gaat.
Jeroen Blok (asker) May 29, 2011:
I thought this because of the remainder of the translation; but yet am not quite sure (I just started this translation job). But anyway, how would you translate the words 'harvester' and 'separator' in this context?
Barend van Zadelhoff May 28, 2011:
what makes you think this is a medical question?

'tenderloin' = ossenhaas

and 'breast tendons' seem to have to do with chickens and turkeys :-)

A "separator" is something used to separate (in this case ) solid substances, while "organ harvesting" is the removal of organs for other use, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organ_harvesting

The context is still rather weird; "tendons" may not be human tendons here?

In het Nederlands wordt overigens tevens gesproken van (bijv. illegale) "orgaanoogst", maar niet van zoiets als "pezenoogst". Ik weet dus niet of harvest in dit geval met oogst vertaald zou kunnen worden, maar het lijkt me weinig voor de hand liggend.
Example sentence:

ontzeenmachines, vleesseparatoren, worsthalveermachines, opspeetmachines voor saté's en kip-fileerinstallaties.
