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 |
20100210199 | FILLETING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR HARVESTING FILLETS - A filleting device and method for harvesting fillets from poultry carcasses that are moved in a conveyer-line supported on carriers is provided. In one exemplary embodiment, the first means are provided to guide at least a part of the fillets so as to increase this part's distance from the carcass and break the tissue connections that connect the fillet or fillets in their natural position to the keel-bone of the carcass. Second means are provided that complete the harvesting of the fillets by peeling the fillets entirely loose from the keel-bone. | 08-19-2010 |
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 |
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 |
20120225184 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HARVESTING OF BACKMEAT OF A CARCASS OR CARCASS PART OF SLAUGHTERED POULTRY - A method and apparatus for harvesting of backmeat of a carcass or carcass part of slaughtered poultry in connection with a process of filleting of the carcass or carcass part is provided. The method can include scraping the backmeat loose from the carcass or carcass part whereby a connection is maintained with fillets of the carcass or carcass part. Prior to the filleting of the carcass or carcass part a neck portion of a backbone of the carcass or carcass parts is fixed in position, whereby thereafter the backmeat is scraped loose from the carcass or carcass part. | 09-06-2012 |
20130084787 | POULTRY PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR POULTRY PROCESSING - A poultry processing device for removing skin from the meat of poultry is provided. The device can include a conveyor line for moving the poultry in their conveying path and one or more de-skinning means in or adjacent to the conveying path for processing the passing poultry. Each of the de-skinning means can include a rotatable gripper roll which is circumferentially provided with longitudinally extending teeth having radial ends facing away from a rotational axis of the roll and providing a frictional outer surface to the roll for catching engagement with the skin, Each the de-skinning means can further include pinch means adjacent to the rotatable gripper roll to pinch or trap the skin between the gripper roll and the pinch means. | 04-04-2013 |
20130157554 | METHOD AND SCRAPER FOR RELEASING TISSUE CONNECTIONS BETWEEN A FILLET AND A CARCASS OF SLAUGHTERED POULTRY - Method for releasing tissue connections between a fillet and a carcass of slaughtered poultry, using a scraper comprising a stem ending into a first scraping lip which is bent to follow a carcass contour, wherein the stem is provided with a second scraping lip for release of at least part of the fatty tissue connected to an unexposed or uncovered side of the fillet. | 06-20-2013 |
20130165032 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROCESSING A CARCASS PART OF SLAUGHTERED POULTRY - A method and device for processing a carcass-part of slaughtered poultry in a processing line is provided. Means are applied for cutting the membrana and/or removing of the wishbone from the carcass-part. The means for cutting the membrana and/or removing of the wishbone include an arrow-shaped knife and two blades arranged on opposite sides of the knife. After the means for cutting the membrana and/or removing of the wishbone are introduced into the carcass part, the arrow-shaped knife and the two blades are moved in a unitary movement from within the carcass-part in a sideways direction away from the carcass part so as to lift the wishbone legs while they are still connected to the wing joints, and subsequently turn the wishbone legs out of the wing joints of the carcass-part. | 06-27-2013 |
20130331017 | RESIDUAL FAT REMOVER AND METHOD FOR REMOVING RESIDUAL FAT OF POULTRY FILLETS - A residual fat remover and method for removal of residual fat that remains on tissue of a poultry carcass after the poultry carcass has passed a scraper for releasing tissue connections between a fillet or fillets and the poultry carcass, wherein the fillet or fillets still at least in part are attached to the carcass when passing the residual fat remover, and wherein the residual fat remover is embodied with opposite pens that are positioned along the path of the passing poultry carcass on opposite sides of the breastbone of the passing poultry carcass so as to detach the residual fat on the outer sides of the fillet or fillets during passing of the poultry carcass. | 12-12-2013 |
20140357174 | 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. The cut is made initially transverse to the transport direction of the poultry and towards the poultry's backbone. The cut develops from the transverse direction to eventually a direction opposed to the transport direction. | 12-04-2014 |
