    摘要: A processing line (1) for harvesting hearts (3) from viscera packages (2) taken out from poultry carcasses, the processing line (1) comprising a conveying track (7) with movable carriers (6) for conveying the viscera packages (2), which viscera packages at least comprise a heart (3), lungs (4) and a gizzard (5), and which viscera packages (2) are in use suspended from the carriers (6), wherein the processing line (1) comprises an apparatus (8) with an infeed section (9) below the conveying track (7) to mechanically grip the viscera package (2) which is detached from the poultry carcasses and suspended from one of the carriers (6), and to subsequently separate the gizzard (5) from the viscera package (2), wherein the infeed section (9) is equipped to transfer the viscera package (2) from which the gizzard (5) is removed to a processing section (13) of the apparatus (8) for separating the lungs (4) from the heart (3), and said apparatus (8) further comprises an outfeed section (18) that follows the processing section (13), which outfeed section (18) is arranged to make the heart (3) as separated from the viscera package (2) available at an outlet (19) for the heart (3).
