ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises a method and apparatus for automatically halving and processing the breasts and backs of poultry carcasses while the carcasses are still moving along a poultry processing line. The carcasses are passed along the processing line through a V-shaped separator blade 26 which separates the saddle portion of the carcass from the breast and back of the carcass. The breast and back of the carcass are then pulled along the length of an internal guide rail 32 by a pair of chain conveyors 33 for processing. A large rotary halving blade 43 positioned below the internal guide rail 32 is movable upward to initially cut only the breast of the carcass and further upward to separate the entire carcass in half. A pair of back removal blades 46 positioned above the internal guide rail 32 following the rotary halving blade 43 can be lowered to remove the backbone from the carcass if the halving blade 43 is not fully raised to separate the entire poultry carcass.
