ABSTRACT:
A conveyor system for sorting poultry carcasses comprises a plurality of poultry carcass carriers arranged successively to convey a plurality of carcasses along a closed path past a plurality of data input stations and then a plurality of carcass release stations. Sensors positioned along the conveyor path, one at each of the data input and release stations, are connected to a controller for receiving poultry grade and weight data from the data input stations, processing the data, and transmitting the resultant classifying data to the release stations for the selective release of carcasses from the carriers. The conveyor system maintains an individual identification of the poultry carcass carriers passing through each of the stations independent of the distance between the carriers and independent of the time lapse between a poultry carcass carrier passing one station and the next station.
