ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for removing the oil bag from killed fowl without cutting the tail of the fowl. A stationary knife assembly is mounted adjacent the predetermined path traveled by the birds along a conventional overhead conveyor. The stationary knife assembly has a V-shaped notch into which the oil bag of each bird moves, but a guard member partially blocks the notch and keeps the tail of the bird from entering the notch. A movable cutting assembly moves in synchronism with the bird conveyor and cooperates with the stationary knife assembly to shear the oil bag off the bird.
