Embodiment Construction

[0027] Figure 1-4 The device 1 shown in will be used to perform a cleaning operation applied on the skin of the inner neck of slaughtered poultry 2 , which device 1 comprises a first drum 4 and a central axis 3 belonging to said first drum 4 . Along this first drum 4 a movable drilling mechanism 5 is provided. Figure 1-4 One such drilling mechanism 5 is shown in FIG. To facilitate their driving, said drilling mechanisms are mounted movably in their longitudinal direction on rods fixed to an upper plate 11 and a lower plate 12 rotatable about an axis 3 . The upper plate 11 may for example be driven by a chain, so that the drilling mechanism 5 moves along the drum 4 . The periphery of the first drum 4 is provided with a curvature formed by a first groove 13 along which a first protrusion 14 , which is part of the drilling mechanism 5 , runs. In this way, the movement of the drilling mechanism 5 along the first drum 4 also causes the drilling mechanism 5 to move in its long...

Abstract

An apparatus for carrying out an operation on slaughtered poultry, comprising suspension devices for suspending the poultry by the legs, a first drum which at its periphery is provided with a first curve formed by a first groove which is being traced by a first projection that connects to a first processing organ so as to arrange that movement of the first processing organ along the periphery of the first drum causes said first processing organ to be placed in an operational position with respect to the poultry being suspended by the legs. Further there are second processing means that cooperate with a second drum provided with a second curve formed by a second groove which is being traced by a second projection connected with the second processing means so as to arrange that by its movement along the periphery of the second drum said second processing means is positioned in its operational position with reference to the poultry. The apparatus further has the feature that the first drum and the second drum are rotationally adjustable with respect to each other.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to an apparatus for performing operations on slaughtered poultry by means of a suspension device which suspends the poultry by its legs. Such devices are commonly used in the poultry handling industry. Background technique [0002] An example of such a device is known from EP-B-1247453, which relates in particular to the cleaning of the inner neck skin of slaughtered poultry. This known device comprises: a suspension device for suspending the poultry by the legs; and a first drum provided at its periphery with a first curved portion formed by a first groove. A first projection runs along said first groove, which first projection is connected to a rotatable drilling mechanism so as to be arranged such that movement of the drilling mechanism along the periphery of the first drum causes said drilling mechanism to be inserted through from the top Legs to hang inside the poultry for cleaning operations. [0003] Th...
