Fish tipper accepts fish on collection plate for ejection by inverted U-shaped pusher

摘要

This device supplies fish (4) onto a moving preparation table (1) which takes the form of a conveyor belt. The belt is transversely divided by an array of fish trays (2). In the new device, a stationary collection plate (3) accepts the fish (4). This is located above the conveyor, transverse to its motion. A tipping unit (5) pushes the fish (4) off the plate (3) into a tray. The tipping device moves back and forth synchronously with the belt travel.
