Abstract
In a method and an apparatus for automatic removal of at least an inner fillet from slaughtered poultry or a part thereof before the connection between the inner fillets and the carcass is broken, a separation is made in the opening bounded by the clavicle and the breastbone, whereupon the inner fillets are at least partly scraped off from the carcass. In another method of filleting, the canalis triosseus is cut open in the shoulder joint, whereupon at least the inner fillets are pulled free from the carcass with the aid of the humerus. Previously, the connection between the membrane of the inner fillets and the breastbone in the region of the coracoideum is broken. For placing a front half of a slaughtered bird on a carrier, a bird is hung by its legs on a suspension element, whereupon the front half and the back half are separated from one another except for a rear connection. The front half is thereupon placed on the carrier and the rear connection is broken.
