Problems solved by technology

[0004] A drawback of this known slaughter facility is that a portion of the poultry is not slaughtered
[0005] Factors that may contribute to this deficiency are high conveying speeds, varying bird sizes and ineffective positioning of the bird's neck area

Embodiment Construction

[0089] figure 1 A part of a flow diagram for processing poultry is schematically shown in . The schematic diagram shows parts of a facility for processing poultry in relation to a slaughter facility according to the invention. At station 10, the poultry were stunned. This can be done electrically or gaseously. At station 11, the birds are suspended by their legs on the conveyor assembly. Usually this is done manually. It is possible to stun first and then suspend the birds, or to suspend the birds first and then stun them. In either case, the transport assembly on which the poultry is suspended transports the poultry in the transport direction T to the slaughter facility 12 according to the invention.

[0090] For example, poultry are stunned at station 10 and then successively transferred to slaughter facility 12 . The facility 12 is suitable for use in combination with a conveyor assembly for conveying poultry in the transport direction T, from which the poultry's legs...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a conveying assembly (200) comprising an overhead conveyor (201) utilizing shackle assemblies (210) for transporting poultry carcasses (212) through a processing plant, said overhead conveyor including a track and a series of trolleys (204) hanging therefrom to travel there along, said trolleys being interconnected by a drive chain (206). The conveying assembly further comprises a guide chain (232) disposed generally horizontally below and essentially parallel to the overhead conveyor, which guide chain is operable synchronously with the drive chain and is provided with stops (234) to abut against the leg-engaging retainer (216) to prevent rotation of the shackle assemblies about an essentially horizontal rotation axis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a slaughter facility and method. More specifically, the invention relates to a facility suitable for use in combination with a transport assembly for transporting poultry with suspended legs in transport direction T. Such slaughter facilities are used in the poultry handling industry for the continuous slaughter of large numbers of poultry. The butchering (killing) means the act of mechanically opening at least one blood vessel in the neck. Background technique [0002] Known slaughtering facilities include a master killing device having a master poultry positioning device for positioning the neck region of a bird suspended from a conveyor assembly, and a master cutting device for cutting into the neck And thereby open at least one blood vessel in the neck region of the poultry. In these slaughtering installations, the poultry suspended from the conveyor assembly enters the master killing device at entry position S and is co...
