The invention relates to a system and method for skinning and / or de-fatting an animal carcass while the animal carcass is being conveyed through a suspension rail system comprising a plurality of carabiners carrying the carcass, the method comprising: sensing the incoming animal carcass by means of a sensing device; using the resulting sensing data from the sensing device as control data by a control unit in controlling the movement of a first device while skinning and / or de-fatting the carcass by the first device, wherein the controlled movement comprises: setting the first device to an initial angular position and engaging the skin and / or fat of the incoming animal carcass at an engagement position; moving the first device along the animal carcass in a movement direction comprising a movement direction perpendicular to the conveying direction, while following the outer contour of the surface of the carcass and while adapting the angular position of the first device to the shape of the carcass so as to ensure a partial removal of the skin and / or fat.

The present invention relates to a system and method for skinning and / or de-fatting animal carcasses while they are being transported by an overhanging rail system having a plurality of shackles for hanging the carcasses, comprising: sensing an incoming animal carcass with a sensing device; and using sensing data obtained from the sensing device by a control unit as control data for controlling the movement of a first device when skinning and / or de-fatting the carcass with the first device, wherein the controlled movement includes setting the first device to an initial angular position and engaging the skin and / or fat of the incoming animal carcass in an engagement position; and moving the first device along the carcass in a movement direction that includes a movement direction perpendicular to the conveying direction while following the contour of the surface of the carcass, and simultaneously adapting the angular position of the first device to the shape of the carcass to ensure partial removal of the skin and / or fat.

An endless conveyor belt may include a belt body having a belt longitudinal axis and an exterior side. A plurality of protrusions project from the exterior side of the belt body and extend across a width of the belt body substantially transversely to the belt longitudinal axis. A plurality of corresponding valleys are defined between each of the plurality of protrusions and extend across the width of the belt body substantially transversely to the belt longitudinal axis. When a piece of poultry is positioned on the exterior side of the belt body, substantially only a skin portion of the piece of poultry is received within the valleys, and an underlying fat portion and a meat portion of the piece of poultry remains disposed substantially above a top surface of the plurality of protrusions.

The invention discloses a rotating disc type chicken claw peeling device, and belongs to the technical field of poultry food processing equipment. The device comprises a chicken foot transmission part and a peeling execution part, the chicken foot transmission part is provided with a thick rotating disc, a thin rotating disc, a transmission motor and a double-sided tooth synchronous belt transmission system, stable conveying and positioning of chicken feet can be achieved, and the device has an excellent overload prevention function. The peeling execution part is provided with a middle peeling hair brush roller, a root peeling hair brush roller, a double-row rubber rod roller and a three-row rubber rod roller, and different parts of the chicken feet can be subjected to differential peeling treatment. The turntable can be replaced according to the size of chicken feet, the center distance is adjustable, and various chicken foot processing requirements are met. The device adopts an open structure and is convenient to clean and maintain, the rotating speed of a transmission and execution motor is adjustable, the peeling strength and time can be accurately controlled, and the complete meat quality of the chicken feet is furthest protected while efficient peeling is performed. The chicken claw peeling device is reasonable in structure, flexible to operate, uniform in peeling and small in damage, and is suitable for a chemical peeling procedure in large-scale processing of chicken claws.

A machine designed to extract calluses from the footpads of poultry—primarily chickens—comprising a cabinet on the inside of which is mounted a pair of chains between which are mounted a plurality of trays having a circular through-opening in the bottom face thereof. Operatively mounted downstream of the chains is a pair of toothed shafts with motorization means and mounted above this region is a smaller chain which is also motorized. Mounted on said chain is a plurality of assemblies comprised of a base (4) and, mounted thereon, a piston (5), the position of which corresponds to the position of the opening (A) in a tray (B) when the latter is below the region of the smaller chain, wherein the piston (5) and the opening (A) are vertically aligned with each other.

The invention relates to a conveying device (10) for continuously conveying a plurality of poultry bodies or parts thereof in a conveying direction (11), said conveying device (10) being configured and adapted to orient the plurality of poultry bodies into different processing positions, comprising a continuous conveyor (12) provided with a plurality of receiving elements (13) for holding the plurality of poultry bodies, the continuous conveyor (12) is adapted to circulate in a conveying plane and form a conveying path, in which the plurality of receiving elements (13) each comprise a saddle element (15) adapted to receive one of the plurality of poultry and arranged on the base element (14) so as to be pivotable about an axis of rotation perpendicular to the conveying direction (11), and is characterized in that the continuous conveyor (12) is arranged in an inclined position, the base elements (14) are arranged on the continuous conveyor (12) such that the conveying plane is inclined with respect to the horizontal at an angle alpha of greater than 0 DEG and less than 90 DEG, each of the base elements (14) being arranged on the continuous conveyor (12) by means of an angled element (16) having an extension angle beta of less than 180 DEG and greater than 90 DEG.
