ABSTRACT:
Poultry gizzards with gut and stomachs attached thereto are moved in sequence along a path, first with the gut and stomach suspended freely below the gizzards. As the gizzards continuing to move along the path, the gut and stomach are cut from the gizzards, a cut is made upwardly into the lower portion of the gizzards, and the cut-apart lower portions of the gizzards are lifted and separated to remove loose matter from inside the gizzards. The gizzards are then peeled. A pair of side-by-side parallel rolls with externally protruding spiral threads are used to initially orient the gizzards and locate the gut and stomach below the gizzards and chain conveyors subsequently move the gizzards through the system as the gut and stomach are severed from the gizzards, the cut is made upwardly into the gizzard, and the cut side portions of the gizzards are lifted for cleaning.
