Abstract
An apparatus for removing skin from the meat of a poultry part, such as a turkey thigh, includes an elongated conveyor supported on a frame in spaced relationship to an elongated loading and stretch bar. The conveyor moves the poultry part along the bar. A rotary cutter is positioned below the bar for cutting the skin of the part. Two pairs of counter-rotating, helical skinning rollers are positioned below the bar and downstream of the rotary cutter. Each pair of skinning rollers defines a nip. The rollers engage the skin on the poultry part and pull the skin from the part.
