ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for individually receiving continually, from a moving succession of shackle conveyor invertably suspended eviscerated whole poultry carcasses, and thereafter cooperatively guiding each such whole poultry carcass in controlled and cooperatively timed conveyable delivery transport therewith sequentially to an inclined rotating cog wheel having a circumferential radial arrayal of regularly repeating identical teeth so that one such tooth thereof insertably engages respectively the evisceration vent of each whole poultry carcass sequentially transported thereby and in such disposition presents the same to a pre-positioned carcass-transverse severing blade adapted to automatically engage and effect a migratory transverse incision at the base of the carcass keel transversely across the carcass bilateral connecting tissue webs disposed between the breast and thighs while moving along a continuous directed path of travel whereby a progressive completion of the migratory incision into a carcass section transverse pull-torn substantial halving is effected which is completed by a breaking of the back of the carcass section by use of an increasingly inclined conical auger conveyor assembly, all as a pre-processing step to thereafter accomplishing subsequent blade severed carcass transverse halving followed by separate forward and rearward transverse carcass section reduction operations as appropriate at other processing machine locations such as the removal and sectioning of wings, breasts, legs and the like.
