摘要

The invention provides a combination of a conveying device for slaughter animals and a removing device (15). The conveying device comprises a guide (4) extending along a transport path, product carriers (3) for the slaughter animals, which are movable in a direction of movement along the guide, each product carrier comprising at least one groove inclined according to a direction of inclination for holding at least one held part of a slaughter animal therein. The at least one groove has an open upper end and a lower end. The removing device comprises a pusher element, which is movable to and fro between a passive position and an active position for pushing the at least one held part out of the at least one groove. The removing device comprises a further pusher element which is movable to and fro between a further passive position and a further active position. The pusher element is designed to push the at least one held part of a slaughter animal from the intermediate position, via the upper end of the at least one groove, out of said at least one groove in the active position or during its movement from the passive position to the active position.
