摘要:
An eviscerating member (2) for processing a cluster of viscera of a slaughtered animal comprises two jaw parts which are designed to be moved at least partially into and out of the body cavity of the slaughtered animal and can move with respect to one another between an open position, in which a first jaw part (22) is situated at a distance from the second jaw part (10a), and a closed position, in which the first jaw part and the second jaw part substantially clamp onto part (28) of the cluster of viscera. The eviscerating member also comprises support means (6) for supporting the jaw parts, and actuating means (8) for moving the jaw parts with respect to one another between the open position and the closed position.
摘要:
There is disclosed a method and a plant for inspecting slaughtered poultry, particularly broilers, where poultry carcasses suspended by the legs are moved to a processing station (10) by a first conveyor (2), where viscera packs are eviscerated and are transferred to and suspended from a second conveyor (12) while the carcasses remain suspended in the first conveyor (2), where the said first conveyor (2) before or after the processing station is moved past a control station (14) for inspecting the carcasses, where selection of a certain carcass for rejection or closer inspection automatically results in taking down this and the associated viscera pack, where the second conveyor (12) moves past a control station (20) after the processing station (10) for inspecting the viscera packs, where selection of a certain viscera pack for rejection or closer inspection automatically results in taking down this and the associated carcass, and where carcasses and associated viscera packs that have been taken down are placed juxtaposed on a special inspection conveyor belt. Hereby is achieved the possibility of cross-contamination which may be avoided completely or reduced by simple means.
摘要:
A method for processing meat along a meat processing line. The method includes removing viscera (56) from a carcass, accumulating (60) the carcass along a dead rail stack of the meat processing line, washing (62) the carcass, and inspecting (70) the carcass at an inspection station following the act of washing the carcass.
摘要:
An apparatus for carrying out a cleaning operation applied to the internal neck skin of slaughtered poultry by removing the windpipe, gullet, glandular tissue or remainders thereof, comprising suspension devices (6) for suspending the poultry by the legs, presser means (9), which during the cleaning operation press on at least a part of the poultry, and a rotatable bore organ (5) to be inserted from the top into the poultry being suspended by the legs for carrying out the cleaning operation, wherein during the cleaning operation the presser means push the neck skin of the poultry toward the bore organ.
摘要:
In a method and device for making an incision in the skin of the belly of a slaughtered animal which is provided with a vent opening produced by cutting out the vent, the skin is processed at a position near the bottom point of the breastbone of the animal, and an incision is made between the vent opening and said position. In order to support the skin during the skin processing operation, a supporting element (18) is fitted subcutaneously through an opening in the skin. In a method and device for processing a slaughtered animal, prior to or during the evisceration of the carcass of the animal, tissue connections are broken between the belly skin (33) and the viscera, in particular between the belly fat (34) situated on the inside of the belly skin and the stomach.
摘要:
Poultry carcasses (132) hanging by their legs from a moving overhead conveying line are presented to corresponding carcass processing fixtures (10) moving in a closed loop of travel around an upright axis. As each carcass is presented to its fixture (10), a holder (24) on the fixture takes control of the carcass and stabilizes it with the breast facing outwardly and the neck hanging downwardly against a sloped centering channel. Once the carcass is stabilized, an arm (58) carrying a slitting knife (68) swings up toward the front throat area of the neck, but before the knife can contact the neck skin, a stretcher device (70) mounted in close proximity to the knife but operable in a stretching motion relative to the knife engages the skin and pulls it downwardly into a taut condition to facilitate penetration and severance by the knife (69). The stretcher is operated in its stretching motion by camming engagement with the underside of a shoulder yoke on the holder as the arm presents the knife to the carcass.
摘要:
Device for cutting out the vent of the carcass of poultry during a slaughtering process, comprising a hollow cylindrical knife (2) having a cutting edge at its distal end, a vent centring pen (9) arranged within there, and extending parallel to the centre axis of the knife, means for rotatingly driving the knife and means for rotatingly driving the centring pen in opposite direction, the cutting edge (5) of the knife having inclined cutting edge portions, which include an obtuse angle opening in the rotation direction of the knife, with the proximal direction component of the centre axis of the knife, as seen in a projection plane which contains the centre axis of the knife, and the centring pen being provided with elevations protruding from its surface, having engaging surfaces which are arranged in helical line, which helical line encloses an obtuse angle opening in a rotation direction opposite to that of the knife with the proximal direction component of the centre axis of the knife, as seen in the projection plane.
