SKINNING APPARATUS

摘要

An apparatus for removing a surface layer from an animal includes a plurality of flexible paddles (130) rotatable about a rotational axis. The paddles (130) have radially outer ends arranged at a plurality of angles with respect to the rotational axis. When the paddles (130) are rotated about the axis, the radially outer ends of the paddles can contact a surface layer of an animal and remove it while removing a minimum of the underlying meat. The apparatus is particularly suitable for skinning of fish.
