The chicken processing conveying equipment is the core carrier for the efficient operation of the production line. Different processes correspond to different equipment types, but also face common problems such as hygiene maintenance and mechanical failure. Different processing technologies also require different conveying methods. For example, when cutting the chicken drumsticks after deboning, a conveyor driven by a chain is generally used. A plurality of molds are installed on the chain. The worker places the chicken in the groove on the mold. When the mold passes through the cutting assembly, the saw blade cuts the chicken in the mold. Then when the mold passes through the end of the conveyor, it is turned down to pour the cut chicken onto another conveyor and continue to be conveyed to the next processing point.

[0003] The conveyor in the above working condition has certain deficiencies in use: in actual application, due to the decrease in sharpness of the saw blade and the activity of the chicken during cutting, the chicken is not completely cut when passing through the saw blade.
