ABSTRACT:
In the automatic evisceration of poultry, a vacuum scrubber is utilized to detach and extract organs such as lungs and kidneys from sockets in the body cavity of a continuously moving bird, which organs may, for example, have been intentionally left intact during prior stages of the evisceration process in which other organs such as the heart, spleen, gizzard and associated entrails were removed. Scrubbing action is initially concentrated in the lung area of the bird as the vacuum scrubber is reciprocated along its back, and then is concentrated in the kidney area of the bird. A momentary swinging of the scrubber outwardly away from the back of the bird during scrubbing facilitates an inrush of ambient air to aid in extraction of the lungs, and an automatic neck-cracking assembly operates simultaneously with the scrubber during lung and kidney extraction to crack the neck of the bird and sever a portion of the skin associated therewith.
