Abstract
A method for deboning the extremities of poultry and an apparatus for performing this method serve to process extremities consisting of upper and lower arm or leg members, which members are joined by means of a central joint. The process includes the subsequent steps of severing the skin in the area of the outer condyle down to the bone, freeing the flanks in the area of the central joint, punching out the central joint and extracting the thus produced bone stumps whilst retaining the meat portion, whilst the apparatus comprises a conveyor including holding devices for receiving and holding the extremities to be treated, as well as means for performing these procedural steps.
