GIZZARD OPENER FOR CHICKEN

The gizzard opener is used to cut the chicken gizzards without intestines and to remove their contents.

OPERATION

Gizzard thrown through an inlet falls down between adjustable guides and then on the spikes of moving chain. The gizzards are then pushed down the spikes by a rotating wheel. The gizzard secured this way on the spikes moves further and is cut open by a rotating blade. The gizzard is then opened by steel rods placed after the blade, its sides are stabilised on the chain. A water spray washes the opened gizzard and flushes out its contents. The chain transports the gizzards further to the exit where they are unloaded from the chain and fall straight to a container or to a machine next in line – gizzard washer (degreaser).
