DEVICE FOR THE AUTOMATIC SUPPLYING OF FISH TO FISH PROCESSING MACHINES

摘要

The invention concerns a device for the automatic supplying of fish uniformly aligned with respect to their belly-back position to fish processing machines, which device comprises a belly-back aligning section, from which the fish is delivered to a processing machine in a timed manner. It is the object of the present invention to universalize the scope of use of known belly-back aligning sections in order to enable the handling of the great percentage of damaged fish which occurs due to set or drift net fishing. The increased danger of blocking of such aligning sections by damaged fish is avoided according to the invention in that the passage for the fish through the aligning section is opened by force shortly before the arrival of the next fish, respectively.
