A poultry processing apparatus, comprising:
- a fixing jig configured to convey a workpiece which is poultry with a body part and a pair of wing parts while supporting the workpiece;
- a pair of cutters respectively disposed on both sides of a conveyance path of the fixing jig;
- and
- a pair of guide members extending along the conveyance path and configured to guide from below the pair of wing parts of the workpiece supported by the fixing jig to form a pair of spaces, between the body part and the pair of wing parts, for receiving the pair of cutters, respectively, the pair of cutters being configured to access, via the pair of spaces, and cut side portions of the body part.
A poultry processing apparatus, comprising:
- a fixing jig configured to convey a workpiece which is poultry with a body part and a pair of wing parts while supporting the workpiece;
- a pair of cutters respectively disposed on both sides of a conveyance path of the fixing jig;
- a drive source;
- and
- a pair of guide members extending along the conveyance path and configured to guide from below the pair of wing parts of the workpiece supported by the fixing jig to allow the pair of cutters to access side portions of the body part between the body part and the pair of wing parts, respectively,
- wherein the pair of cutters is driven so as to access side portions of the body part at a timing when the workpiece comes to a predetermined position in the conveyance path, and
- wherein the drive source is configured to switch a position of the pair of cutters between a first position allowing the pair of cutters to access side portions of the body part and a second position where the pair of cutters is retracted from the body part.
