<p>A bird cutting plant comprises an endless conveyor (1) with equidistantly spaced apart bird suspension means (3) from which the birds are suspended upside down for transport through at least one cutting station (II-V). Each suspension means (3) includes two yokes (8) secured to the conveyor (1) and adapted to receive the birds' lower legs, the connecting line of said yokes extending transversely of the direction of movement of the conveyor, and the spacing between said yokes along said connecting line being sufficient to make said yokes hold the lower legs of a bird suspended in this manner stretched apart, but at the same time hold the bird freely swingable, in the conveying direction, on the distal enlarged end portions of the lower legs. Said yokes (8) include guide means (9-12) adapted to guide the cut bird parts out of the yokes when subjected to a force acting against the direction of the force of gravity. The cutting stations are provided with cutting means adapted to cut the birds in symmetrically specular disposition in a plane including the conveying direction, at least said one cutting station being adapted to bipartition the bird before the bird's body and legs are cut at any subsequent stations. </p> |
