The invention concerns an apparatus (10) for automated cutting of the wings from poultry bodies, having several pairs of separating elements (14, 15, 16) each arranged symmetrically on both sides of the conveying means (11), as well as a pair of guide rails (21) and a pair of revolving conveying chains (22), wherein on each side of the conveying means (11) is arranged a transport unit (20) which is composed of a guide rail (21) and a conveying chain (22), wherein the two transport units (20) arranged symmetrically to the conveying means (11) diverge in the direction of transport T in such a way that the two wings of a poultry body are moved increasingly away from the poultry body during transport along the separating device (13), which is distinguished in that the cutting blades (19) of the third pair of separating elements form a cutting station without a counter-support and each have a cutting edge (25) which is constructed and designed to perform partial cuts leaving the end pieces of the wings on the poultry body, and in that the lateral guide rails (21) behind the separating device (13) in the direction of transport T each have a recess (26) to increase the vertical distance between the guide rail (21) and the conveying chain (22). Furthermore, the invention concerns a corresponding method.
