ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for processing poultry gizzards employing in-feed rollers and retarding means to initially orient the gizzards with appendage organs dangling below. The appendage organs are severed whereupon the gizzards are secured in the initial positions, transported and reoriented to a new position before being slit by a cutting blade. The slit gizzards are spread apart and transferred while being secured in a predefined position to a shearer-peeler station having a pair of primary rollers with a shearing and a peeling section, and then to a pair of slower rotating rollers also with a shearer and a peeler section. A vibrating tamper compresses the gizzards on the secondary peeler section for a final thorough cleaning of the gizzards.
