  • Patent number: 12213492
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus M for cleaning poultry giblets X. These giblets X enter the apparatus M through an inlet gutter M0 and are dispensed through an outlet gutter M6. The apparatus M comprises pre-cleaning rollers 3 and 4 arranged under a guiding assembly M1 that directs the giblets X to a gripping and transporting conveyor chain M2 for transporting the giblets X from the pre-cleaning rollers 3 and 4 to a pressing assembly M5, passing through a cutting element M3 and a washing assembly M4 for the giblets X. The apparatus M also comprises a gutter 6 that directs the giblets X to a cleaning system L installed transversely in the apparatus M, enabling the traction of these giblets X from the gutter 6 to the outlet gutter M6. In addition, the invention also describes a method for cleaning poultry giblets X, applied in the apparatus M.

  • Patent number: 12137696
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (S) for conveying fowl giblets (not shown) that is installed in a machine (M) for processing fowl giblets (not shown) to clean said giblets (not shown). The system (S) includes a station (1) for guiding giblets (not shown) against a cleaning assembly (2), both of which are simultaneously moved by a movement assembly (4) so that the guide station (1) continuously shakes and presses the giblets (not shown) against the cleaning assembly (2), the movement of said station removing residual parts from the giblets (not shown) passing through the system (S).

  • Publication number: 20230383818
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a system (S) for supporting and tensioning chains or other transmission and/or conveyance elements installed on a machine (M). The system (S) includes a guide device (D) for the gripper and conveyor chain (M1), in which the movement of the guide device (D) corresponds to the movement of the bearings (M2). The guide device (D) includes an element (D1) for supporting and protecting a longitudinal contact element (D2), in which the support and protection element (D1) is coupled to the bearings (M2), while the longitudinal contact element (D2) is used to guide and constantly pressurize an appropriate segment of the gripper and conveyor chain (M1). The system (S) also includes an automatic tensioning unit (C) provided with a pressure element (C1).
