Device for the automatic evisceration of slaughtered animal carcasses

Apparatus for automatic evisceration of slaughtered animal carcasses for implementation in a high-speed industrial slaughter house which automatically obstructs the anal orifice of a carcass and ensures a longitudinal cut of the ventral surface of the carcass at the same time as the bony portion of the sternum without reaching the entrails, comprising:

• an automatic mechanical distribution and anal obstructor system;
• a vertically movable frame;
• a tilting table supported on said vertically movable frame, said tilting table including means defining a slot through which a circular incision blade passes for cutting the ventral surface of the carcass, and through which a circular saw passes for progressive penetration of the sternum;
• a sectioning tool for detaching the entrails of the carcass;
• and
• means for clearing the entrails of the carcass from a cutting path of said circular incision blade and said circular saw, said means for clearing comprising nozzles for projecting water under an adjustable pressure.
