Embodiment Construction

[0028] The apparatus shown in the above figures is used to automatically separate breast cartilage or a portion of breast cartilage from poultry carcasses. The unit can be used as a stand-alone machine or as part of a production line.

[0029] figure 1 A side view of the device 10 is shown. The device 10 essentially comprises a conveyor belt 11 having at least one support body 12 for receiving and fixing poultry carcasses 13 . Generally speaking, the conveyor belt 11 is a rotary conveyor chain with a plurality of supports 12 . However, other common forms of conveyor belt 11 may also be used. By means of this conveyor belt 11 , the poultry carcasses 13 fastened to the support body 12 are conveyed in the conveying direction (arrow T), that is to say along the cutting means 17 which are also part of the device 10 according to the invention. According to the invention, the cutting mechanism 17 comprises a double blade 18 and a separating member 27 arranged downstream of the do...

Abstract

The invention relates to a device (10) that is designed and equipped to completely remove at least one part of the breast cartilage (14) from a poultry carcass (13) that is free of breast meat, comprising a transporting conveyor (11) for conveying the poultry carcass (13) in a transporting direction T, said conveyor having at least one support body (12) for receiving and fixing the poultry carcass (13); cutting means (17) for separating the breast cartilage (14) or parts thereof from the poultry carcass (13); and a control device for controlling the cutting means (17). The device is characterized in that the transporting conveyor (11) is aligned with the support body or with each support body (12) and driven in such a manner that a poultry carcass (13) that is to be arranged on the support body (12) is oriented such that the poultry carcass connecting line between the breast bone (16) and the breast cartilage (14) is parallel to the transporting direction T. The cutting means (17) comprise a double blade (18) that is designed and equipped for longitudinally cutting into the poultry carcass (13) at least along a sub-section on both sides of the breast cartilage (14) and/or on both sides of the breast bone (16), and the cutting means (17) comprise a separating element (27) which is disposed downstream of the double blade (18) and which is designed and equipped for laterally cutting a connecting region (19) between the breast cartilage (14) and the breast bone (16), thereby completely removing the breast cartilage (14) from the poultry carcass (13). The invention further relates to a corresponding method.
