  • Method for controlling the processing of poultry, and device for carrying out this method
    Patent number: 5326311
    Abstract: A method for controlling the processing of poultry in different production lines operating in parallel, wherein the control of the processing of a specific bird or a part thereof takes place on the basis of data derived from one or more observed contours of the bird or a part thereof. For purposes of the control the data may be supplemented by the weight of the bird or part thereof. In a device for carrying out the method the observation takes place with the aid of one or more radiation sources which transmit radiation rays to one or more radiation detectors, which radiation rays can be interrupted or weakened by the birds or parts thereof passing therethrough.
