METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING, TRIMMING AND/OR GRADING

摘要

The invention relates to a method, system and apparatus for processing, trimming and grading of products such as fish fillets in one process. Objects are transported to a workstation on an in-feeding conveyor belt, where objects are processed and weighted on static scales. The objects are ejected from the scales to defined areas on the collecting conveyor and these areas are defined such that an area exists for each object category and/or weight categories within each object category. The collecting conveyor may operate jointly with a grading unit allowing the objects to be graded directly from the defined areas on a collecting conveyor. The method of the present invention allows for grading of one or more object categories in one process.
