ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a combination crop remover and neck breaker for use as part of a continuous processing station adjacent a conventional poultry processing line wherein partially processed poultry is given a two step processing treatment. The station includes a plurality of modules that are moved in synchronization with the poultry line. The modules egage the upside down hanging birds in a clasping fashion. The modules have a neck breaker means and a probe means for entering the backside of a bird through a previously cut opening for the purpose. The probe under the aegis of a vacuum and structural features entwines the crop and other viscera and removes same when the probe is withdrawn. The probe is then cleansed of the viscera when the module has been moved to another location at its station. The so-treated poultry is permitted to continue on its path in the processing line.
