Abstract
A method and apparatus for removing the wings of birds as the birds are conveyed along a poultry processing line suspended by their legs. As the birds are carried through the wing remover (10), the wings on one side of the birds are engaged by a first wing guide means (40), which tends to spread the wings. This spreading of the wings dislocates the joints between the wings and shoulders of the birds and pulls a desired quantity of meat from the breasts. The birds are thereafter engaged by a first cutting means (56), which separates the wings and the portions of breast meat from the birds. At the same time, the wings on the opposite sides of the birds are engaged by a second wing guide means (41), which tends to spread the wings, dislocating the shoulder joints between the wings and shoulders of the bird and pulling a desired quantity of meat from the breasts. The dislocated shoulder joints are thereafter engaged by a second cutting means (81), which separates the wings and pulled breast meat from the birds.
