ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for removing viscera from a poultry carcass carried substantially horizontally on a first conveyor. A frame supports a pair of continuous second conveyors attached to sprockets. The second conveyors are driven in synchronization with the travel of the first conveyor. A plurality of spoon modules attach in spaced-apart relation to the pair of second conveyors. Each spoon module comprises a pair of blocks attached to a separate one of the second conveyors with the pair being transversely aligned. A pair of spaced-apart rods connect between the blocks and slidably receives a plate for transverse travel between the pair of conveyors. A spoon including a cam wheel pivotally connects to the plate. The cam wheel follows a cam track in a V-shaped path for extending and retracting the spoon to remove viscera from the poultry carcass.
