Method, apparatus and evisceration spoon for eviscerating intestine packs of slaughtered poultry

摘要

A method, an apparatus and an evisceration spoon (2) for eviscerating intestine packs of slaughtered broilers is described, whre the broilers suspended in legs or joints are passing an evisceration apparatus provided in connection with a turning wheel between two hanging conveyor sections and comprising a number of evisceration devices with an evisceration spoon (2) combined with a grabber (4), where the back of the broilers by passage through the evisceration apparatus is turned towards the center axis of the apparatus, where the movement of the evisceration spoon (2) and grabber (4) in relation to the broiler is controlled in such a manner, that a foremost curved part (6) of the grabber (4) is placed in an arched recess (8) in a closed back of the evisceration spoon (2), where evisceration spoon (2) and grabber (4) immediately after the insertion from above in the body of the broiler are swung outwardly/downwardly close along the breast bone of the broiler before the evisceration spoon (2) and the grabber (4) again are moved inwardly/downwardly and encircle the intestine pack, and where the evisceration spoon (2) thereafter is moved upwardly along the back of the broiler at the same time that a foremost end (7) of the grabber (4) in a known manner is opened, that the back of the broiler is pressed outwardly, so that the open grabber (4) is grabbing around the gullet between prestomach and crop, when it thereafter is closed again, thereafter the evisceration spoon (2) is moved out of the broiler and further upwards along a back plate (10) serving that the intestine pack remains encircled in the evisceration spoon (2), until the grabber (4), which also is moved out of the broiler, and which still is grabbing around the gullet between prestomach and crop, is able to take over the intestine pack.
