<p>A chicken swing separation method and apparatus is provided wherein a poultry size tolerance (joint radius variation) is wide. In the pre-process step, the bone is removed from the breast meat. Then, the breast meat with chicken wing is supported at the left and right arm pits in such a manner that the arm pits are held in parallel to a direction vertical to the helical moving axes. The tendon of the breast meat is pushed to the board guide slanted toward the inner center between the helical moving axes. The posture of the breast meat is fixed by the gradually increasing pressure from the slanted board guide and the chicken joint is cut off by the rotary blade disposed near the board guide, thereby separating the chicken wing from the breast meat.</p> |
