    Slaughter Line

    An overhead conveyor system for slaughtered ANIMALS  comprises a track supported above the floor, a number of suspension hooks which are movable along the track and are positioned one after the other, each  bracket, a continuous chain or cable to which each suspension hook is connected and means for moving the chain or cable with the suspension hooks connected thereto. Each suspension hook is provided with a bar which connects the brackets, a disc connected to the top section of the bar, a rotation bush of square cross section which forms part of the bar or is connected thereto and has a twisted shape in the longitudinal direction, and a guide bush which is arranged around the said bar and allows both a limited longitudinal movement and a rotary movement of the bar. Furthermore, each suspension hook has a hinge pin which is joined to the guide bush and which always extends in the direction of transport and is suspended using trolleys having wheels which engage on the track.

    Brief Description

    A system of this type is known and is intended to convey slaughtered animals via cutting units where they are cut into portions. The portions cut off fall onto conveyor belts or into trays and then have to be further processed individually. The aim of the invention is so to improve the system mentioned in the preamble that, with the conveyor system running at relatively high speed, the chickens can be rotated, hinged away from the normal transport path and can be moved up and down over a small distance. Another aim is so to improve the conveyor system that the processing operations to be carried out on the animal can be performed selectively and efficiently. According to the invention, the overhead transport system specified in the preamble is characterised in that each suspension hook is provided with:
    • a bar which connects the said brackets,
    • a disc connected to the top section of the bar,
    • a rotation bush of square cross-section which forms part of the bar or is connected thereto and has a twisted shape in the longitudinal direction,
    • a guide bush which is arranged around the said bar and allows both a limited longitudinal movement and a rotary movement of the bar,
    • a hinge pin which is joined to the guide bush and which always extends in the direction of transport of the suspension hooks and is mounted on trolleys
