摘要:
A catfish fillet machine for filleting fish, such as a catfish, with ribs extending through the belly flesh up to the skin. The catfish fillet machine includes a pair of scraping tools for dividing the flesh of each fish half into at least two independent segments up to the skin. Advantageously, the belly flesh is stripped from the ribs on both sides, thereby resulting in a minimum wastage of fillet flesh. In one preferred embodiment of the present invention, the catfish fillet machine includes a pelvic fin and bone cutter/remover. A mechanism advantageously stretches the nuggets (belly flaps) of the fish tightly against the scraper knives and cutting support of the scraper tools. A fish saddle which engages and moves the fish along the conveyance path has top rail removably fastened to a base and made of a polymer material softer than the cutting blades.
摘要:
A support chain for a device for supporting a compression belt in a separation device for separating substances having different flowability. The support chain includes an articulated chain having individual chain links that form a flat surface. The links include chain pins with chain plates threaded thereon. A locking device is attached to opposite ends of the chain pins to hold the chain plates together on the chain pins. End pieces are adapted to receive the locking device so that the support chain is planar on both sides facing transversely to the direction of conveying of the support chain. Each end piece connects adjacent chain pins to each other and includes a sliding element and compensating elements. The sliding element has recesses which each include a through-bore and a non-through bore for receiving a respective compensating element. Each recess is constructed to receive the compensating element and locking device therein.
