Abstract
A poultry breast fillet skinner includes a table, a lower conveyor supported on the table, an upper conveyor with means to allow the upper conveyor to be pressed down toward the lower conveyor so as to firmly grip the poultry breast fillet, and a wing disposed between the upper and lower conveyors which affects the separation of the skin from the poultry breast fillet. In the preferred embodiment the separation process is assisted by a pair of openings provided on the pointed ends of the projections of the wing. Pressurized air is expelled into natural pockets formed between the skin and the meat portion of the poultry breast fillet which assist in beginning the process of separating the skin from the meat portion of the poultry breast fillet.
