ABSTRACT:
A poultry hock cutter apparatus for separating the shanks from the drumsticks of a poultry carcass at the hocks includes a stationary blade 44 for applying a progressive wedging action into the centers of the hocks from above and behind the hocks of each carcass as the carcass is moved past the blade to force the heads out of the sockets and expose the connective tissue, and for severing the connective tissue. A method of separating the shanks from the drumsticks of a poultry carcass at the hocks includes applying a progressive wedging action by an upstream segment 48 of the stationary blade 44 at the centers of the hocks of each carcass as the carcass is moved past the blade to sever the skin coverings of the hocks and to force the heads out of the sockets, and severing the connective tissue of the hocks to separate the shanks from the legs.
