ABSTRACT:
A livestock head splitter for splitting the head of an animal for recovering head organs including a plurality of circumferentially arranged head trays or holders rotatably movable through loading, head-splitting and discharge stations. A vertically reciprocal blade is provided above each tray or holder and rotatably moves with the tray or holder so that it is always aligned to split a head positioned on the tray or holder. The split heads are automatically discharged at the discharge station. A hydraulic drive system rotates the trays and drives the knives during the movement of the trays through the head-splitting station. Control means at the head-splitting station causes operation of the head-splitting knife. A protective cover encloses the apparatus and only allows an operator ingress for loading a head onto a tray as it moves through the loading station.
