摘要:
Method and device for separating one or more organs or a part thereof from a cluster (38;161;210) consisting of a strong organ and other interconnected internal organs of a slaughtered animal (80), in particular a slaughtered bird. In a first step, the cluster (161;210) is taken out of the body of the slaughtered animal. Next, the strong organ is fixed and the cluster (161;210) is brought in a spatial orientation which is determined by the way of fixing. Tissue connections in the cluster (161;210) are broken on the basis of the spatial orientation of the cluster in the maintained condition of fixing.
摘要:
Apparatus for retaining poultry suspended with its legs (16) from a suspension conveyor (17) while submitting the poultry to a processing operation. The apparatus comprises two horizontally spaced apart retaining plates (34) receiving the poultry therebetween. The plates are movable between an upper position for engaging the thighs of the poultry and a lower position for engaging the wings (21) of the poultry. In a preferred embodiment the apparatus comprises a brace applicable between the legs of the poultry and supports applicable underneath the wings of the poultry.
摘要:
Method and device for mechanical removal of the viscera package (26) from the belly cavity of slaughtered poultry (24) hanging by the legs from hooks (22) which are moved in a conveyor (2) along a drawing device (36). For removal of the viscera package (26), the body of the poultry (24) is tilted from the hanging, vertical position through a predetermined angle about an axis (20) parallel to a line through the hip joints to a second position, in which the shoulder joints are situated at essentially the same height as or higher up than the hip joints. The latter body position thereafter remains retained during the veterinary inspection of the poultry (24) or the carrying out of further operations on the viscera package (26) and/or the carcass. The second position of the body is preferably produced by guiding at least a part of the neck (28) of the poultry (24) from a position lower down than the legs to a position in which the neck (28) is situated essentially at the same height as or higher up than the legs, and the body of the poultry (24) extends between the neck (28) and the legs.
摘要:
In a separating device, the heart (42), lungs (44) and liver (46) are separated from the viscera of a slaughtered bird (4) by conveying these organs, including the gall-bladder (48), connected to the bird, essentially parallel to the path of the bird with a helical roller (10b). First the heart and lungs are separated from the liver by cutting through the tissue (52) connecting the heart and lungs, and the liver. Next, the liver is separated from the remainder of the viscera by increasing the distance between the liver and the gall-bladder, and cutting through the tissue connecting the liver and the gall-bladder.
