摘要

A method for separating the heart and the lungs of a heart-lungs package of poultry makes use of the difference in specific weight of the heart and the lungs. When both heart and lungs are introduced into a water basin (14) the lungs will float whereas the heart will sink. Separately discharging the heart and lungs then is easy to accomplish. The apparatus for separating the heart and the lungs comprises preferably two cooperating parallel rolls (2, 3) for removing the muscle tissue from the package and a water basin (14) for separating the heart and lungs due to their different specific weights. Discharge means (18; 19) are provided for the heart and the lungs.
