Device and method for completely separating from the carcass of a gutted poultry body breast fillets that have already been partially detached from the carcass

摘要

The invention relates to a device (10) for completely separating from the carcass of a gutted poultry body breast fillets that have already been partially detached from the carcass, comprising a pair of separating means (11, 12) for separating the breast fillets hanging down on both sides of the breast bone of the carcass from the breast bone and guiding means (13) for guiding the carcass in the direction of the two separating means (11, 12) arranged at a distance from one another, wherein the guiding means (13) comprises two guiding elements (14, 15) lying next to one another and at a distance from one another, which between them form a gap (16) which is directed in the transporting direction T of the poultry bodies and is intended for receiving and guiding the breast bone of the carcass, and wherein the separating means (11, 12) enter this gap (16) from below in such a way that the separating means (11, 12) for separating the breast fillets from the breast bone protrude upwards beyond the guiding means (13) in the direction of the carcass, which device is distinguished by the fact that the guiding elements (14, 15) can be pivoted out of a guiding position, forming the gap (16), into a waiting position, increasing the distance A from the separating means (11, 12), and vice versa, and that a spreading element (17) is provided for spreading the breast fillets away from the breast bone during the separating operation. The invention also relates to a corresponding method.
