摘要:
The invention relates to a method for operating a poultry defeathering appara- tus, where a drive mechanism is used for rotating a plurality of picking heads of a picking bank and to such a picking bank. Each picking head is mounted at an outer side of a cover member on an axle projecting through an opening in the cover member and supported by a bearing. The drive mechanism is arranged on an inner side of the cover member opposite the picking heads. To protect the drive mechanism from deterioration, a gas or air is caused to flow along an inlet path on the inner side of the cover member and onwards to the drive mechanism. The gas or air has a lower relative humidity than the air surrounding the picking heads, when the apparatus is in operation, thus venti- lating any moisture entering the picking bank away.To further reduce the in- gress of water it is preferred that the flow of gas or air is so as to cause an over-pressure on the inner side of the cover member,which is, preferably at all times, higher than the pressure on the outer side.

The invention relates to a broiler chicken container (1, 101, 201, 301, 401) which is designed and equipped to receive and hold broiler chickens, comprising a base (11, 111, 211, 311, 411) and lateral walls (12, 13; 112, 113; 212, 213; 312, 313; 412, 413) which define an inner volume. The broiler chicken container (1, 101, 201, 301, 401) is designed and equipped so as to be stackable with broiler chicken containers (1, 101, 201, 301, 401) of the same type. The invention is characterized in that at least one support column (14, 114, 214, 314, 414) runs from the base (11, 111, 211, 311, 411) upwards through the inner volume. The support column (14, 114, 214, 314, 414) is arranged at a distance from all of the lateral walls (12, 13; 112, 113; 212, 213; 312, 313; 412, 413) so that space is provided for at least one broiler chicken between the support column (14, 114, 214, 314, 414) and any of the lateral walls (12, 13; 112, 113; 212, 213; 312, 313; 412, 413), and the support column (14, 114, 214, 314, 414) has a height so as to support the base (11, 111, 211, 311, 411) of another broiler chicken container (1, 101, 201, 301, 401) which is stacked on top of the broiler chicken container (1, 101, 201, 301, 401). The invention further relates to a unit comprising at least two of the aforementioned broiler chicken containers (1, 101, 201, 301, 401).
摘要:
A guide member (4) for use in separating viscera sets eviscerated from slaughtered poultry comprising a separation support surface (41, 42) having an elongated opening (43) for receiving a viscera set (1) in a manner whereby at least the intestines (15) and the gallbladder (18) are suspended below said guide member (4) and the liver (16) and gizzard (17) are positioned above said guide member. The elongated opening (43) extends away from a front edge of the separation support surface and a distal section of the opening is off-set in relation to a proximal section in a direction substantially parallel to the front edge. A gripping member (3) may be arranged below said guide member for gripping a part of the intestines (15). In a method according to the invention the guide member (4) is moved into contact with the viscera set whereby the intestines and/or gallbladder enters the elongated opening.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method and a system for separating a viscera set (1) eviscerated from slaughtered poultry and held by a viscera holder (2) of a viscera conveyer in manner whereby at least the liver (16), the intestines (15) and the gallbladder (18) are suspended below said viscera holder (2). The method comprises the steps of: arranging said viscera set in an elongate opening (43) of a guide member (4) and separating the intestines (15) and the gallbladder (18) from the remaining viscera set. The intestines (15) and the gallbladder (18) are separated from the remaining viscera set while at least said liver (16) rests on a separation support surface (44) of the guide member (2), arranged with an angle relative to the horizontal plane. A guide assembly having two movable parts for use in such method / system is further disclosed.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method, a guide assembly and a system for separating poultry viscera sets suspended from a viscera holder. In the method a guide member is moved so that said viscera set is arranged in an elongated opening of the guide member with the intestines and the gallbladder suspended below said guide member and the liver and gizzard positioned above it. The intestines and the gallbladder are then separated from the remaining viscera set while said liver rests on a first part of a separation support surface and said gizzard on a second part on the opposite side of an elongated opening. Before the separtion, the viscera set is brought into contact with an engagement member so that the gizzard is kept on the one side of the elongated opening at least until coming into contact with the separation support surface.

The invention relates to a device (10) that is designed and configured to scald slaughtered poultry G, comprising an elongated scalding tank (11), which is open at the top, for receiving and holding a scalding medium, said tank having at least one transport stretch (12.1, 12.2....12.n) for the poultry G, wherein each transport stretch (12.1, 12.2....12.n), in its longitudinal extension, adjoins a separating element (13) that extends at least over a section of the length of the transport stretch (12.1, 12.2....12.n), a transport means (14) arranged above the scalding tank (11) for transporting the poultry G, which are suspended by their feet, along the transport stretch (12.1, 12.2....12.n) in a transport direction T, a control and regulating unit (15) for controlling the temperature of the scalding medium, means (16) for generating a swirl and/or flow of the scalding medium, and a filter apparatus (35) for cleaning the scalding medium. The invention is characterised in that each separating element (13) comprises two separating walls (18, 19) arranged at a distance from one another and extending upward from the bottom wall (17) of the scalding tank (11), said walls for forming a channel (20) that is open at the top and at the end faces, and a swirl element (23) as the means (16) for generating the swirl and/or flow of the scalding medium is arranged inside the channel (20) in the region of through-holes (21, 22) in each separating wall (18, 19) that faces a transport stretch (12.1, 12.2....12.n), which swirl element can be rotationally driven by means of a drive shaft (24) that is directed horizontally and runs transversely to the transport direction T of the poultry G. The invention also relates to a corresponding method.
