The invention relates to a chain link for a support chain for supporting a compression belt in a separating device for separating materials of different flowability, the chain link having a support surface and an inner surface opposite said support surface and is characterized in that a protruding support element is arranged on at least one end face of the chain link so as to form an undercut. The invention further relates to a support chain for a support apparatus for supporting a compression belt in a separating device for separating materials of different flowability, the support chain being an articulated chain which has individual chain links connected to each other in an articulated manner, the chain links being threaded onto chain pins extending transverse to the conveying direction F with the chain links according to the invention. The invention also relates to a support apparatus having the support chain according to the invention.

Chain link, support chain, and support device

The invention relates to an apparatus for completely separating from the carcass of a gutted poultry body breast fillets that have already been partially detached from the carcass, comprising a pair of separating means for separating the breast fillets hanging down on both sides of the breast bone of the carcass from the breast bone as well as guiding means for guiding the carcass in the direction of the two separating means arranged at a distance from one another, wherein the guiding means comprises two guiding elements lying next to one another and at a distance from one another, which between them form a gap which is directed in the transport direction T of the poultry bodies for receiving and guiding the breast bone of the carcass, and wherein the separating means enter this gap from below in such a way that the separating means for separating the breast fillets from the breast bone protrude upwards beyond the guiding means in the direction of the carcass, which is distinguished by the fact that the guiding elements are pivotable out of a guiding position forming the gap into a waiting position increasing the distance A to the separating means and vice versa and in that a spreading element for spreading the breast fillets away from the breast bone during the separating operation is provided. Furthermore, the invention relates to a corresponding method.

Chain link

Sprocket for chain link

A holder () for supporting gutted poultry bodies or parts thereof includes a supporting body () for receiving the material to be processed and a clamping apparatus () having at least one clamping lever () movable against the supporting body () for fixing the material to be processed on the supporting body. The clamping apparatus () is controllable in such a way that the clamping lever () can be moved out of a standby position into a clamping position and vice versa. The holding apparatus () is assigned a supporting element () which is designed and arranged for supporting parts of the material which protrude beyond the holding apparatus () in the direction of transport T of the holding apparatus (), in the clamping position in such a way that one or more measuring points on the material to be processed are freely accessible to a measuring device.

Holding device for securing eviscerated poultry carcasses or parts thereof

Poultry carcasses are conveyed on saddles with their breastbone plate facing downwards to a scraping device having left and right scraping elements arranged adjacent to each other to simulate the contour of the approaching poultry carcass. The scraping elements are spaced apart by a signal from the control unit in relation to the individual width of the poultry carcass. Each scraping element has a sinew restraint that finds and restrains the tender sinew located in the region of the body joint, so that the scraping element can pass unhindered into the region between bone and meat and so obtain an optimum yield. A second scraping device, arranged essentially symmetrically to the direction of conveying, has left and right discs that are slidable by pivot levers to move on the corresponding part of the symmetrical wishbone in order to detach the meat connected to the wishbone.

Filleting device

A method and apparatus for processing flat fish is disclosed. The fish (5) are placed on a conveyor (1) and transported on a conveying surface (1.1) over an array of photosensing elements (3.4) which generate light absorbtion signals as the fish is advanced. These signals are sent to a computer, which determines the contour of the fish using information regarding the conveyor speed and computes cutting control signals using pre-programmed proportionality factors relating to the fish species. The cutting line control signals are sent to a cutting apparatus (4). As the advanced fish arrives at the cutting apparatus, two rotary knives (4.1) cut into the dorsal and ventral sides of the fish in response to the control signals to remove the dorsal fin together with a strip of fatty tissue (5.12) from one edge of the fish and the internal organs, the anal fin and the ventral strip of fatty tissue (5.11) from the other edge of the fish.

Apparatus for processing flat fish

An installation for processing flatfish, in particular for severing the head, and, if necessary, the tail thereof, comprises a feeding device (1), means for aligning the fish and means for conveying the same in rest position on one of their sides through the operative area of processing tools. The installation can be characterized in that the conveying means (13) is provided with entrainers (14) which engage the fish at its flank remote of that lying on the support surface (16), and are controlled to turn about an axis which is perpendicular to said support surface (16). Each fish is taken over by the entrainer (14) with attention being paid to a detected measured value with respect to its size such that the point of engagement of the entrainer is uniform independent of the size.

Installation for processing flatfish

The invention concerns a feeding aid helping the manual feeding of fish processing machines, especially those for the processing of flat fish. The aid is suitable to be used on machines which have a vertical feeding shaft receiving the flat fish respectively their rumps and comprises a cover arranged above the feeding shaft and to be folded upwards, on which cover guiding plates extending into the feeding shaft are arranged. These guiding plates oppose each other V-shaped and are pivotal against the force of a spring about their longitudinal edges facing each other, the displacement occurring by each fish arriving in the feeding shaft and thereby effecting an adaptation of the V-shaped angle to the cross sectional shape of the fish.
