ABSTRACT:
Poultry gizzards with gut and stomach attached thereto are moved in sequence along a processing path, first along a pair of helically threaded conveyor rolls which supports the gizzards and permits the stomach and gut to hang freely below the gizzards between the conveyor rolls and then along a pair of engaging cutting rolls which separate the gut and stomach from the gizzard. The gizzards are transferred to a trough where a water flume transfers the gizzards to a chain conveyor. The chain conveyor transports the gizzards beneath a stationary elongated knife which progressively cuts into the upper surfaces of the gizzards and a presser fork straddling the knife spreads the cut apart portions of the gizzards as the gizzards move along the knife, and rotary brushes further spread the cut apart portions of the gizzards to remove the debris. The gizzards are dropped to peeling rolls for removing the lining from the gizzards.
