    摘要: An arrangement for skinning poultry parts containing the poultry breast includes a conveying device having saddle elements configured for conveying the poultry parts in a conveying direction along a skinning device. The skinning device has at least one rotationally driven profiled roller and a guide element. The roller, together with an entry edge of the guide element, is adapted to form an entry gap for gripping the skin on the side of the poultry breast. The guide element has flank guide elements each adapted for laterally guiding the poultry part, wherein the flank guide elements have inner guide surfaces adapted for contacting the flesh of the poultry part. A method is also provided.

    摘要: A holding apparatus is configured and adapted for holding eviscerated poultry bodies or parts thereof during processing in a processing apparatus. The holding apparatus includes a supporting body, a fastening body for holding the supporting body and for fastening the holding apparatus to a revolving transport unit of the processing apparatus, and also a clamping device for fixing the poultry body or parts on the supporting body. The supporting body is detachably connected to the fastening body by a fastening element. The fastening element, in the mounted state of the holding apparatus, is accessible from outside. At least one stationary supporting bolt and at least one movable guide bolt are arranged on the fastening body, and the supporting body has corresponding recesses into which the bolts engage. A transport apparatus, a processing apparatus, and a method for maintenance of a holding apparatus, are also provided.

    摘要: Method for detecting a prone/supine position of fish conveyed by a conveying device. The method includes conveying the fish with the conveying device in a longitudinal direction, optically scanning a ventral side and a dorsal side of the fish in order to determine a first brightness value profile of a first side and a second brightness value profile of a second side, determining a first ordered data series and a second ordered data series by ordering brightness values of the first brightness value profile and of the second brightness value profile according to a predefined ordering criterion, determining a first median from the first ordered data series and a second median from the second ordered data series, determining at least one differential value from the first median and the second median, and determining the prone/supine position by comparing the at least one differential value with at least one predetermined reference value.

    摘要: The invention relates to an apparatus for cutting free the flank bones of decapitated, slaughtered fish with opened abdominal cavities which are transported on transport saddles as supporting bodies for securely receiving the fish in their abdominal cavities, comprising an upper bones guide, a lower bones guide and a separating assembly for releasing fish fillets from the flank bones, wherein the separating assembly, which can be brought from a standby position into a working position and vice versa, comprises a separating device having cutting edges and with a corresponding counter-surface, which is characterized in that a covering element, for covering regions of the cutting edge of the separating device located in the effective region of the separating device inside the fish, is assigned to the separating device, and the covering element is designed and configured such that it can be automatically adjusted with respect to its position in relation to the separating device. The invention further relates to a filleting machine with such an apparatus.

    摘要: The invention relates to a suction tool (10), configured and adapted for gutting fish (11) opened at the abdominal cavity, comprising a suction pipe (13) forming a main channel (12), wherein the suction pipe (13) has a connection (14) for a vacuum unit (15) at a free end and a suction opening (16) at the opposing end facing the abdominal cavity in the operating state, wherein the suction opening (16) laterally passes out of the suction pipe (13) and is thereby oriented radially in relation to the central axis M of the suction pipe (13), characterized in that an additional pipe element (23) for forming an auxiliary air channel (24, 31) is arranged in the region of the suction opening (16) of the suction pipe (13), wherein the pipe element (23) is arranged and adapted in such a way that a continuous suction air volume flow is maintained in the operating state of the suction tool (10). The invention also relates to an apparatus (17) and a method for gutting fish (11) opened at the abdominal cavity.
