APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR SEVERING FILLETS COMPLETELY FROM THE CARCASS OF BEHEADED AND EVISCERATED FISH, A CROSSPIECE LEFT BY OTHER TOOLS BEING CUT THROUGH IN THE PROCESS

摘要

The invention relates to an apparatus (10) for completely separating fillets from the skeleton of decapitated and gutted fish (11), cutting through a web left by separating tools mounted in front of the apparatus (10) in the direction of transport T, comprising a separating unit (12) with a pair of circular blades (17, 18) for separating the web, and an endlessly rotating transport conveyor (13) with at least one saddle-shaped supporting body (14) for receiving the fish (11) and conveying them in the direction of transport T through the separating unit (12) tail first, wherein the circular blades (17, 18) are mounted on a carrier (21) which is movable up and down transversely to the plane of transport E, which is distinguished in that the two circular blades (17, 18) of the separating unit (12) are driven in the same direction opposite the direction of transport T. Furthermore the invention relates to a corresponding method.
