Embodiment Construction

[0023] figure 1 A portion of a distribution line 1 for distributing slaughtered birds 2 is shown. Upstream of the distribution line 1 a cooling line is provided. In this cooling line the temperature of the slaughtered birds 2 has been reduced to eg 3°C. Because of this, the slaughtered bird 2 is harder than it is shortly after slaughter, when the slaughtered bird still has a higher body temperature. The slaughtered poultry 2 has been transported from the hooks from which the slaughtered poultry 2 is suspended in the cooling line to the product carrier 3 of the distribution line 1 . The dispensing line 1 comprises an annular guide 4 along which the product carriers 3 move. The product carriers 3 are interconnected via a link chain 5 which is engaged by at least one driven sprocket (not shown) for moving the link chain 5 along the path of the endless guide 4 and The product carrier 3 is thus moved along the path of the annular guide 4 . figure 1 An arcuate section 31 defined ...

Abstract

The invention provides a device for changing the orientation of slaughter products, comprising an endless guide (4) extending along a conveying path, product carriers (3) which are movable along the guide. Each carrier comprises a base part (6) and a rotary part (7) connected to the base part. The base part is provided with at least one runner (10) which cooperates with the guide during operation of the device. The rotary part is provided with an engagement part and with a suspension part connected to the engagement part for suspending a slaughter product from the suspension part. The rotary part is rotatable about an axis of rotation that extends in a vertical plane perpendicular to the conveying path. The device further comprises at least one operating element disposed beside the conveying path, which is configured to cooperate with the engagement part for causing the rotary part to rotate about the axis relative to the base part. The conveying path comprises an arcuate section (31) extending in a vertical plane, wherein the product carriers are present on the outer side of the arc. The operating element is disposed beside the arcuate section for causing the rotary parts of the product carriers to rotate at least in part about the associated axes of rotation during passage of the product carrier through the arcuate section, wherein the rotary part cannot pivot about a horizontal pivot axis that extends perpendicular to a vertical plane parallel to the arcuate section during passage of the associated product carrier through the arcuate section.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a device for changing the orientation of slaughtered products, such as slaughtered poultry, comprising an annular guide extending along a conveying path and a product carrier, the product carrier being movable along the guide and carrying the product The product carriers are connected to each other at regular intervals by means of endless flexible conveying elements, said product carriers each comprising a base and a swivel connected to the base, wherein the base is provided with at least a roller, and wherein the rotating part is provided with an engaging part and is provided with a suspension part connected to the engaging part for suspending the slaughter product from the hanging part, the rotating part can be wound in a vertical plane perpendicular to the conveying path rotates on an axis of rotation extending in the center, wherein the device further comprises at least one operating element disposed alongside the con...
