Assembly for mechanical processing of beheaded and gutted white fish, for salt fish production, has a high pressure water jet cleaning station to clean blood from the head ends before filleting

摘要

The assembly (9) for the controlled mechanical processing of white fish (1), where the heads have been cut off and the bodies gutted, has a conveyor (3) to carry a number of fishes through a filleting station (6) where the bones are removed. In front of the filleting station, in the direction of travel (R), a cleaning station (5) using high pressure water jets removes any clinging blood residue at the head ends, while the flesh is protected by the skin. Any blood at the tail ends is removed at a cleaning station (7) after filleting.
