Abstract
A method and an apparatus for skinning and trimming a product to be treated, in which the product to be treated is delivered on a delivery device to a cutting unit. The cutting unit is embodied as a cutting blade and is associated with a traction roller. A linear rotary device is received by a retaining device and is disposed adjacent the cutting unit. In an operating position, the rotary device engages the product to be treated and sets it into rotation, to enable skinning in the circumferential direction of the product to be treated. After the skinning operation, either the rotary device is transferred to a discharge position and the product to be treated is removed from the apparatus via a discharge device or the delivery device is retracted so that the product being treated can drop downward. Another option for discharge of the product for treatment after the skinning operation is for the product being treated to be removed from the processing position laterally by an arm.
