METHOD AND DEVICE FOR FILLETING KILLED AND HEADLESS FISH, THE ABDOMINAL CAVITY OF WHICH IS OPENED UP

摘要

To fillet killed and headless fish broodstock, the abdominal cavity of which is opened up, especially the species tilapia, dorsal and ventral cuts are ma de up to the backbone and cleanly cut separating cuts are made in the remaining area attached to the backbone, while the fillets are peeled from the ribs. T he aim of the invention is to enable machines to be used for such fish, renderi ng extensive manual treatment superfluous. Before the fillets are peeled from t he ribs, the ventral folds are trimmed by a machine to remove parts which reduc e the quality of the fillet, while the peeling cuts are made with two degrees of freedom in order to adapt to the particularly stiff rib profile.
