PROCESSING DEVICE FOR PROCESSING SLAUGHTERED AND PLUCKED POULTRY CARCASSES, COMPRISING POULTRY-SUPPORT DEVICES AND POULTRY-PROCESSING DEVICES

WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/140375

A3

The invention relates to a processing device (210) for processing slaughtered and plucked poultry carcasses (152), having multiple processing devices (21) that are equipped to transport poultry carcasses (152) separately from a main conveying device (302) for processing purposes using a processing retaining means (820) which can be moved on a circumferential path. The processing device (210) has transfer stations (60; 51-66) which are arranged in a row along a main conveying line (20) in which the poultry carcasses (152) are conveyed in a suspended manner using support devices (402). Each processing device (21) is paired with a transfer station (60; 61-66) formed by a transfer pair (601) which has two rotational transferring devices (602, 652). The first rotational transferring device (602) removes poultry carcasses (152) from the support devices (402) and transfers the poultry carcasses to the processing retaining means (820) of the processing device (21). The second rotational transferring device (652) removes the processed poultry carcasses (152) from the processing retaining means (820) and transfers the poultry carcasses to the support devices (402). Each support device (402) has a pair (401) of supports (41, 42) with receiving portions (40.1, 40.2) for limbs (11, 12) of the poultry carcasses (152) and comprises a support controller (410). Each support (41, 42) is equipped with a controllable retaining device (403; 405) which is connected to the support controller (410) via a control element (444, 454) that controls a retaining part of the limb receiving portion (40.1, 40.2). In an open position of the controllable retaining part, the limb receiving portion (40.1, 40.2) is open so that the poultry carcass limbs (11, 12) are inserted and removed without being clamped, and the limb receiving portion contacts the poultry carcass limbs (11, 12) only in a closed position of the retaining part. The poultry processing device (21) has a processing controller to which the processing retaining means (820) is connected and by means which the processing retaining means can be moved into different positions along the retaining means circumferential path, namely a starting position for receiving the poultry carcasses, at least one processing position, and an end position for removing the poultry carcasses.
