| 20110275298 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FILLETING POULTRY OR POULTRY PARTS - A method and system for filleting poultry or poultry parts is provided, which can include a conveyor system incorporating carriers for the poultry or poultry parts, with at least one processing station provided in or along the path of the conveyor system for processing the poultry or poultry parts. The processing station can be a cutting instrument that is placed behind a fillet scraper, and is embodied with a knife having a cutting-edge or cutting edges for cutting loose tissue connections that have remained between the carcass of the poultry or poultry part and its inner and outer fillets after passing the fillet scraper. | 11-10-2011 |
| 20110244773 | Method and Apparatus For Mechanically Processing an Organ or Organs Taken Out From Slaughtered Poultry - Method and apparatus are provided for mechanically processing an organ or organs taken out from slaughtered poultry in a processing device or processing line, which organ or organs form part of an organ package and wherein said organ or organs are separated from the organ package. The organ package is spatially oriented by the processing device without notably breaking tissue connections in the package, and in a preselected order so as to cause the harvesting of organs from the package to occur in a preselected sequence that depends on the location of the organ package in the processing device or processing line. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20110237171 | Method and Apparatus For Mechanically Processing an Organ or Organs Taken Out From Slaughtered Poultry - Method and apparatus are provided for mechanically processing an organ or organs taken out from slaughtered poultry in a processing device or processing line, which organ or organs form part of an organ package and wherein said organ or organs are separated from the organ package. The organ package is spatially oriented by the processing device without notably breaking tissue connections in the package, and in a preselected order so as to cause the harvesting of organs from the package to occur in a preselected sequence that depends on the location of the organ package in the processing device or processing line. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20110061996 | Apparatus and Method for Conveying Organ Packages to a Processing Station - An apparatus and method for conveying organ packages to a processing station or stations is provided. The apparatus can include a tray-conveyor having a series of trays movable in the conveying direction. Each such tray is arranged to receive an organ package. The tray-conveyor has at least one discharge-station for the organ packages that are to be moved to the processing station or stations. | 03-17-2011 |
| 20110045756 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROCESSING PART OF A SLAUGHTERED POULTRY CARCASS - A device for processing a carcass part of slaughtered poultry in a processing line is provided. The carcass part is supported on a carrier that moves in the processing line. The carcass part includes wing-joints, coracoids, a wishbone embodied with two legs that merge into each other at an acute angle, a keelbone, a membrane and/or ligament that connects at least to the wishbone and the keel-bone, and naturally present meat including inner and outer fillets. The device includes means for cutting and/or removing of the wishbone from the carcass part. The device is arranged such that the means for cutting and/or removing of the wishbone can be a knife equipped to cut the wishbone and disconnect it from the membrane and/or ligament with an increased yield of meat that is retained on the carcass part. In one embodiment, the knife is arranged with cutting side-edges and is further shaped with an S-shaped contour to arrange that when same is introduced between the legs of the wishbone up to its eventual position wherein the arrow's point of the knife approaches the part where the legs of the wishbone merge into each other, the cutting side-edges of the knife cut the legs of the wishbone at a position immediately adjacent to the wing joints to which the wishbone connects. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20100279593 | Gizzard Peeler and Method of Peeling a Gizzard - A gizzard peeler is provided that includes a series of rollersets. Each rollerset includes, in an exemplary embodiment, a first roller and a second roller that in use rotate in opposite directions. The rollersets collectively form a cylindrical wall of a rotatable drum or form part of such a wall, whereby the drum is provided at its outer circumference with guide and pressure means for guiding and pressing a gizzard along at least a part of the drum's outer circumference. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100151779 | Method and Apparatus for Processing Poultry Suspended by the Feet From a Conveyor Hook - A method for processing poultry suspended by the feet from a conveyor hook is provided. The method and apparatus allow the quality of the poultry to be classified and graded in a simpler and more effective manner to realize higher yields or an extra added value. In one exemplary embodiment a processing apparatus for a foot of the poultry is provided that includes a foot pad inspection apparatus. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100081366 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING POULTRY OR A PART THEREOF - The invention relates to a method for processing poultry or a part thereof in a processing line, including the step of detaching and/or collecting a cartilage of the poultry's keel bone, whereby during transport of the poultry's carcass in the processing line, a cut is made in the cartilage of the keel bone, which cut is made initially transverse to the transport direction of the poultry and towards the poultry's backbone, and which cut develops from said transverse direction to eventually a direction opposed to the transport direction. | 04-01-2010 |
| 20100075584 | DEVICE FOR PICKING OR PLUCKING POULTRY-FEATHERS AND AN APPARATUS FOR DRIVING SUCH A DEVICE - A device for picking or plucking poultry feathers is provided that includes a sleeve-coupling and, connected or connectable thereto, a plucking plate with receptacles for plucking fingers, which sleeve-coupling is mountable on a drive-shaft for the plucking plate. The sleeve-coupling is provided with a circumferentially extending slot for receipt of a radially extending pin that is provided on the drive-shaft, and the circumferentially extending slot has an opening between the slot-extremities to allow the pin to enter and to exit the slot so as to securely mount the sleeve coupling on the drive shaft with the pin being located at one of the slot extremities. | 03-25-2010 |
| 20090239457 | Method and Apparatus For Mechanically Processing an Organ or Organs Taken Out From Slaughtered Poultry - Method and apparatus are provided for mechanically processing an organ or organs taken out from slaughtered poultry in a processing device or processing line, which organ or organs form part of an organ package and wherein said organ or organs are separated from the organ package. The organ package is spatially oriented by the processing device without notably breaking tissue connections in the package, and in a preselected order so as to cause harvesting of organs from the package to occur in a preselected sequence that depends on the location of the organ package in the processing device or processing line. | 09-24-2009 |
