Abstract

An apparatus for internally processing slaughtered poultry comprises a processing device and a counterpressure plate engaging the back of the poultry. The plate is essentially movable towards and away from the poultry. As a result, the apparatus is suited for use with poultry of different dimensions and different weight. Preferably, the counterpressure plate is attached to the piston rods of two cylinder-piston assemblies positioned one above the other.
