摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To highly efficiently separate chicken stick and chicken wing tip separately in the same treating line in a short time in a process for separating the chicken wing from the breast meat with the chicken wing.;SOLUTION: The method for separating the chicken wing includes positioning the chicken wings by introducing the chicken wings 1B into guide grooves 64e opened at the conveying positions of the chicken wings positioned at both the sides of narrow conveying passages, and gradually narrowing the widths toward downstream in the conveying direction while conveying the shoulder joints 1C of the breast meat 1A with the chicken wings in a nipped state with the two parallel narrow conveying passages 41a by a conveyor 62, preferably, while bending the chicken wing tips 1Bb in the narrow conveying passage sides by guide members 65 installed in the lower sides of the guide grooves and arranged so as to gradually approach the narrow conveying passage 42 sides, cutting the middle junctions 1F of the chicken wings with blade parts n installed in the tapered terminal ends of the guide grooves while pushing the middle junctions 1F of the chicken wings to the inner sides constituting the guide grooves, and thereafter cutting the chicken sticks with rotary blades 2 adjacently arranged downstream of the narrow conveying passages 42c.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
