A guide member for use in separating viscera sets eviscerated from slaughtered poultry comprising a separation support surface having an elongated opening for receiving a viscera set in a manner whereby at least the intestines and the gallbladder are suspended below said guide member and the liver and gizzard are positioned above said guide member. The elongated opening extends away from a front edge of the separation support surface and a distal section of the opening is off-set in relation to a proximal section in a direction substantially parallel to the front edge. A gripping member may be arranged below said guide member for gripping a part of the intestines. In a method according to the invention the guide member is moved into contact with the viscera set whereby the intestines and/or gallbladder enters the elongated opening.

Guide member, a guide system and a method for separating a viscary set eviscerated from slaughtered poultry

Disclosed is a method and a system for separating a viscera set eviscerated from slaughtered poultry and held by a viscera holder of a viscera conveyer in manner whereby at least the liver, the intestines and the gallbladder are suspended below the viscera holder. The method comprises the steps of: arranging the viscera set in an elongate opening of a guide member and separating the intestines and the gallbladder from the remaining viscera set. The intestines and the gallbladder are separated from the remaining viscera set while at least the liver rests on a separation support surface of the guide member, arranged with an angle relative to the horizontal plane. A guide assembly having two movable parts for use in such method/system is further disclosed.

Method, a system and a guide assembly for separating viscera sets eviscerated from slaughtered poultry

An apparatus for processing birds on a conveyor according to the invention includes a moveable engagement member () having a contacting surface () adapted for being brought into contact with the bird (). The engagement member is connected to a carrier () at a primary axis (P), said carrier being rotatable about a stationary secondary axis () and the primary axis (P) being located on the carrier () at a distance from the secondary axis (), so that said primary axis will rotate about the secondary axis when the carrier is rotated. The engagement member () is restrained between the primary axis and the contacting surface, so that the contacting surface is prevented from rotating about the secondary axis. The invention also relates to a method for processing birds on a conveyor, where, during a processing movement, the direction of movement of contacting surface is preferably substantially the same as the direction of the conveyor.
