摘要

Method and apparatus for cutting out and plugging the anal orifice of slaughtered animals in any slaughtering facility. The method comprises cutting out the rectum of the animal with a cylindrical cutter arranged around a centering mandrel and provided with side openings for immediately removing any waste matter that becomes stuck within the cutter, and injecting ground fat or a similar material into the anus with a pressurizing device controlled by automation equipment of the facility. The device is connected via a flexible duct to an inner channel in the centering mandrel for the tool for cutting out the rectum. The method and apparatus are suitable for use in any slaughtering facility, particularly high throughput abattoirs.
