ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for eviscerating a continuous succession of birds, fowl, poultry, or the like and adapted to form a part of a fowl processing line. The apparatus includes a plurality of viscera removing members each being pivotally mounted with respect to two pivot axes for movement through a path to remove the viscera of a single, pre-positioned fowl. The viscera removal members and pivoting means therefor extend radially outwardly from a central shaft over a cylindrical housing. Means are included for clamping each bird against the housing in position for removal of its viscera through a previously made cut in its vent. The viscera removal apparatus and housing are rotated in synchronism with an overhead conveyor from which the fowl are individually suspended. The removal apparatus may be disengaged from the conveyor for repair or adjustment while the conveyor continues to operate whereby complete shut-down of the fowl processing line is avoided.
