Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This report is based on research that is part of a project dealing with the more efficient work methods, equipment, and facilities for processing chickens in commercial processing plants. The findings provided basic information necessary for establishing design requirements of a dual track power-free conveying system for use in poultry processing plants. This study had two main objectives: First, to determine for equipment manufacturers and processing plant operators the requirements for a conveying system that would move poultry through various processing operations requiring different line speeds without manual transfer; and second, to design, develop, construct, and test this conveying equipment to determine its feasibility for use in current poultry processing operations.
