Abstract
A process for gaining meat from the bodies of slaughtered poultry and an apparatus for performing this process are described. Importance is attached to the processing in the region of the clavicle in preparation for the same, and the problem to be solved is to ensure that even in the case of a broken clavicle, fragments thereof do not remain in the breast meat. This problem is solved by introducing a block into the V-bifurcation of the clavicle, said block having a wedge-shaped configuration in plan view and its flanks being provided with groove-like recesses, in which can be flushly engaged the branches of the clavicle, so that they disappear in these recesses. By means of peeling knives guided over the flanks of the block, the clavicle can be peeled free at its outer contour without a risk of any broken fragments being grasped and removed.
