Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for cutting wings from the body of slaughtered poultry, particularly broi- lers, and of the type described in the introductory part of claim 1.
  • the invention has for its purpose to provide an improved method for cutting of wings from the body of slaughtered poultry, and which by simple provisions makes possible an anatomic correct cut of wings from slaughtered poultry.
  • the method according to the invention is distinctive in that the body is conveyed towards said position with the back side first and is raised backwards/upwards by means of central guiding means, that the wings are caught and spring loaded are lead outwards/downwards proportional to the body, that the body is conveyed between preferably sta ⁇ tionary knife means being adapted to cut through the skin near the basis joint of the wings, to expose the big ten ⁇ dons between the body and the wings and to press the breast meat inwards against the body, that said tendons are cut through by means of preferably rotating knife blades, so that the joint bones of the wings momentarily are pulled free from the basis joints, and that the wings finally are cut totally from the body by passage of said knife bla- des.
  • the wings are cut in an anatomically correct way at the basis joints without damaging the joint bones of the wings.
  • any breast meat is cut off together with the wings.
  • the lower, big tendons be ⁇ tween the wings and the body are streghtened in proportion to the body by means of the behind/downwards turned pull, so that the joint bones of the wings by cutting of the strenghtened tendons monemtarily are jerked from the basis joints, so that the rotating knife blades unhindered get plenty of room to totally to cut free the wings.
  • the wings are braked in proportion to the body, so that said outwards/downwards directed pulls in the wings furthermore get a rearward di ⁇ rected force component, so that said tendons between the wings and the body are further streched.
  • the invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method according to the invention, which is adapted to co-operate with a conveyor, in which the slaughtered poul ⁇ try, for instance broilers hanging in the legs successively are conveyed with the back first towards the apparatus, which comprise cutting means being adapted to cut the wings from the body, said apparatus is distinctive in comprising central guiding means being adapted to support the back of the broiler body mainly in lying position, guiding means at each side of the central guiding means adapted to guide the wings in preferably movable wing holding means, which near the entrance ends are pivotally arranged on mainly vertical swing axis, and which in a distance therefrom are connected with spring means being adapted to influence the wing hol- ding means to be swung away from each other, that is in the moving direction to increase the mutual distance between the wing holding means, stationary knife means being adap ⁇ ted to cut through the skin near the basis joint of the wings, to expose tendons between the wings and the body and to
  • an apparatus is hereby obtai ⁇ ned suitable for practise of the method according to the invention, so that it becomes possible to cut the wings from the body in an anatomic correct way, that is without the wing bones being damaged.
  • the breast meat by means of stationary knife organs from both sides are pres ⁇ sed inwards towards the body and are kept free by the rota ⁇ ting knife blades, so that an increase in weight of the breast meat is obtained, which as earlier mentioned makes up the most demanded and expensive part of the broiler.

  • the apparatus may be such provided that the endless chains of the wing holding means are drive con ⁇ nected with the belonging superior conveyor via separate axle connections and angle gears, which at the same time consist reduction gears, as the working speed of the chains is lower than the working speed of said conveyor, in which the broilers are conveyed, and that said swing axis for the guiding plates of the chains are placed aligned with the axis of said drive axle connection.
  • the stationary knife means consist of fixed, adjustable knife blades, which at opposite sides of the bo- dy are placed at the top side of inner end parts of the wings, that inwardly directed cutting edges of the knife blades at the passage of the body are able to cut through the skin in front of the basis joint of the wings and to expose the large lowermost tendons between the wings and the body and that the knife blades themselves are able to press the breast meat inwards against the body.
  • the central guiding means also comprise secondary guiding means which at both sides of said rail consist of thin guiding rods being adap ⁇ ted to support the body immediate within the basis joint of the wings in front of said stationary knife menas and in front of said knife blades.
  • the preferably rotating knife blades are adapted to from stationary, inclined posi ⁇ tions at opposite side of the body inside said propely guiding rods preferably at the same time first to cut the tightened out tendons between the wings and the body, so that the wing bones momentarily are pulled from the basis joints and afterwards to cut the wings totally from the bo ⁇ dy.

Abstract

Procédés et appareil servant à séparer les ailes des carcasses de volailles abattues, par exemple les poulets de chair (2). La carcasse est suspendue par les pattes (4) et transportée par un transporteur jusqu'à une position dans laquelle les ailes (28) sont sectionnées par un dispositif rotatif de couple (60), la carcasse étant transportée le dos tourné vers l'avant et en étant soulevée vers l'arrière et vers le haut par un dispositif central de guidage (10). Les ailes (28) sont accrochées et tirées vers l'extérieur et vers le bas par rapport à la carcasse, et celle-ci passe entre des couteaux de préférence stationnaires (70) adaptés pour percer la peau à proximité de l'articulation radiculaire des ailes afin de mettre à nu les tendons principaux situés entre le corps et les ailes et de serrer la chair de la poitrine contre le corps. Lesdits tendons sont tranchés par les lames rotatives (60) de sorte que les os des ailes se séparent des articulations et que les ailes (28) soient entièrement sectionnées par le passage desdites lames.
