Abstract
The present invention relates to a device and a method for detaching a fibrous casing from the surface of a cured processed meat product, preferably a sausage, especially when the outer surface of the fibrous casing has been provided with a substantially inextensible net with a view to form protuberances on the surface of the processed meat mixture. The device is used for blowing compressed air between the fibrous casing and the surface of the cured processed meat mixture, so that the fibrous casing is detached from the surface of the processed meat mixture and skin removal is facilitated.
