  • Patent number: 7479059
    Abstract: A device for trussing up poultry parts, the poultry parts having first and second elongated bones with meat attached to the bones. The device includes carrier trays which receive the poultry part. The first and second bones are placed in first and second recesses of a meat stripping tool. A pusher device displaces the first and second bones through the recesses and at least some of the meat is compressed between the at least a part of the pusher device and at least a part of the stripping tool. At least one gripper retracts at least one of the first and second bones from the meat after the meat has been trussed up.

  • Patent number: 6958008
    Abstract: This invention relates to a device for removing the skin (6) from opposite sides of bird trunk (3), the device comprising a conveyor (4) for moving at least one bird trunk from a loading position (5) towards a skinning device, the skinning device comprising a first skinner (10) for removing the skin from a first side (1) of the bird trunk (3) and a second skinner (20) for removing the skin from a second side (2) of the bird trunk (3) opposite the first side, the conveyor (4) being provided for moving the trunk part (3) from the loading position (5) in downward direction towards the first skinner (10), the device comprising a first guiding (11) with a pair of guidings positioned on opposite sides of the conveyor (4) for positioning and guiding the trunk part in longitudinal direction with its head front end (7) pointing towards a central passage (30) in the device and the first skinner (10), the device comprising a second guiding (21) at a position below the first guiding (11) for guiding the trunk part toward

  • Publication number: 20050136817
    Abstract: This invention relates to a device (10) for processing poultry parts (1) comprising a first and a second elongated bone (2, 3) and meat (4) attached thereto. The device (10) comprises a plurality of consecutive trussing up units (11), each trussing up unit (11) comprising a carrier tray (18) for receiving a poultry part (1), positioning means (12-15) for receiving the first end part (6) of at least one of the bones (2, 3), a meat stripping tool (14, 15) with a first and a second recess (12, 13, 32, 33) through which respectively at least part of the first and second bone (2, 3) of the poultry part (1) to be processed are displaceable. Each trussing up unit (11) is displaceable between a loading position (25) for loading the carrier tray with a poultry part, and along a trussing up pathway (30) for trussing up of the meat around the second end part (5) of the first bone (2). The carrier tray (18) and pusher device (23) are displaceable with respect to each other along the trussing up pathway (30).
