ABSTRACT:

In the first cutting of the method and an apparatus for the separating, an inserting position and depth of an obliquely moving cutter blade (116) is properly determined with accuracy by the help of a guide bar with reference pieces, which is selected according to the size of the upper half of a poultry carcass and put inside the shoulder joints for setting reference planes, vertical and horizontal.
