The invention also relates to a method for automatically positioning and/or handling a carcass and/or carcass part of a slaughtered animal during the slaughter of animals on an industrial scale as well as a method for automatically cutting a carcass and/or carcass part of a slaughtered animal during the slaughter of animals on an industrial scale.

Method and device for positioning and/or handling carcasses and/or carcass parts during the slaughter of animals on an industrial scale

A method for processing carcasses of livestock, includes the processing steps of: positioning a hanging livestock carcass; making an incision along the spine of the positioned hanging livestock carcass; loosening the meat from opposite sides of the feather bones of the spine; and splitting the spine of the carcass. A device for processing carcasses of livestock is arranged for enabling the process steps.

Method and device for processing carcasses of livestock along the spine

A method for processing carcasses of livestock, comprises the processing steps of: positioning a hanging livestock carcass; making an incision along the spine of the positioned hanging livestock carcass; loosening the meat from opposite sides of the feather bones of the spine; and splitting the spine of the carcass. A device for processing carcasses of livestock is arranged for enabling the process steps.

A filling device for filling containers with foods and closing the containers includes an endless conveyor system for conveying container holders; a container infeed mechanism for supplying containers to the container holders; workstations for carrying out operations on containers conveyed therealong, including a filling station and a closing station; a container discharge mechanism for removing containers from the container holders; at least one processing line provided along the conveyor track for containers to be processed; a housing that at least partially encloses the processing line; and gas supply means for feeding conditioned gases into the housing. The housing extends at least along the filling station and the closing station. Inside the housing, the gas supply means supply gas flow substantially close to filling apertures along outsides of containers. The gas supply means includes a plurality of adjacent gas outflow apertures opening into the housing.
