An apparatus for automatic cutting of organs from a plucks set from a carcass by a cutting device, the plucks set comprising larynx, gullet and windpipe, lungs and heart. The apparatus comprises a suspension device for holding the pipes, moving device for moving the plucks set relative to the cutting device, while the pipes are held in the suspension device, and a guiding device adapted to guide the plucks set to the cutting deice and keep the lungs and the heart separated from each other.

Apparatus and a method for automatic cutting of organs from a plucks set from a carcass

The apparatus comprises: a running conveyor ( ) with hooks ( ) for suspending a set ( ) of organs by the diaphragm ( ) and conveying it in a conveying direction of the conveyor ( ); a slit device ( ) arranged below the conveyor ( ) with a slit ( ) for guiding horizontally in the slit a connective tissue part ( ) of the set ( ) of organs during the conveyance of the set of organs on the conveyor with an organ ( ) located below the slit ( ), a retaining device ( ) arranged in a conveying path which the organ ( ) follows with the connective tissue part ( ) guided by the slit ( ), the retaining device ( ) being adapted to retain the organ ( ) on the retaining device by the conveyor's ( ) pull in the set ( ) of organs; and ( ) for causing separation between the organ ( ) and the connective tissue part ( ) when such retention has been provided.
