Device for skinning poultry parts

A device for removing the skin (6) from opposite sides of a bird trunk (3), the device comprising a conveyor (4) for moving at least one bird trunk from a loading position (5) towards a skinning device, the skinning device comprising a first skinner (10) for removing the skin from a first side (1) of the bird trunk (3) and a second skinner (20) for removing the skin from a second side (2) of the bird trunk (3) opposite the first side, the first and second skinner comprising a skinning roller (10, 20) for entraining the skin (6) from the bird trunk (3), characterised in that the conveyor (4) is provided for moving the trunk part (3) from the loading position (5) in downward direction towards the first skinner (10), the device comprising a first guiding (11) with a pair of guidings positioned on opposite sides of the conveyor (4) for positioning and guiding the trunk part in longitudinal direction with its head front end (7) pointing towards a central passage (30) in the device and the first skinner (10), the device comprising a second guiding (21) at a position below the first guiding (10) for guiding the trunk part towards the first skinner and restricting the movement of the trunk part in a direction pointing away from the first skinner (10), the first skinner (10) being located on a first side of the central passage (30), the second skinner (20) being located at a position below the first skinner (10) on a side of the central space (30) opposite the first skinner (10) at a distance (d) from the first skinner which is adjusted to a distance (b) between the first and second side (1, 2) of the trunk part, in such a way that when at least part of the first side of the trunk part has passed the first skinner (10), the opposite second side of the trunk part contacts the second skinner (20), the first and second skinner (10, 20) comprising a co-operating shear plate (15, 25) and skinning roller (10, 20) with a slit there between for grasping a top part of the skin (6), the distance between the shear plat and skinning roller being adjusted to the thickness of the skin to be removed.
