More Information
Summary:A dressing tool includes a rotatable cutting means with an elongated probe member coaxially disposed therein. The probe member extends outwardly beyond the cutting means. The alimentary canal is cleaned by drawing a vacuum through the elongated probe which is to be inserted into the anus of the poultry. The anus is then drawn away from the body of the poultry by drawing a vacuum in the space between the probe and the cutting means. Another feature of this invention is directed to the use of a control mechanism to provide the necessary sequence of operations so that the dressing tool will operate automatically under assembly line conditions.
