APPARATUS FOR CARRYING OUT AN OPERATION ON SLAUGHTERED POULTRY

摘要

An apparatus for carrying out an operation on slaughtered poultry. In one exemplary aspect such includes suspension devices for suspending the poultry by the legs. A first drum at its periphery is provided with a first curve formed by a first groove, which is being traced by a first projection that connects to a first processing means so as to arrange that movement of the first processing means along the periphery of the first drum causes the first processing means to be placed in an operational position with respect to the poultry being suspended by the legs. Second processing means cooperate with a second drum provided with a second curve formed by a second groove which is being traced by a second projection connected with the second processing means so as to arrange that by its movement along the periphery of the second drum the second processing means is positioned in its operational position with reference to the poultry. The first drum and the second drum have an adjustable distance with respect to each other.
