  • Poultry breast filleting apparatus
    Patent number: 5697837
    Abstract: Previously eviscerated poultry carcasses are moved in series along a conveyor (17), mounted upon a series of modules (22). As the poultry carcasses are moved along their processing path and are mounted on their modules (22), the carcasses are automatically engaged by a clamp tool (48) that clamps the poultry carcasses against their modules (22) in tight locking engagement to hold the poultry carcasses on their modules (22). A series of meat removal stations (61, 62, 63 and 64) engage and progressively separate the meat from the skeletal structures of the poultry carcasses as said poultry carcasses are moved along their processing path by the conveyor (17).
