20150305354 | METHOD FOR MECHANICALLY REMOVING PIN BONES FROM FILLET PARTS OF CONVEYED FISH AND DEVICE FOR PERFORMING SAID METHOD - In a method for mechanically removing intermuscular bones, so-called pin bones, from fillet parts of conveyed fish abdominal flaps for each fish are separated using a continuous, curved double separating cut. Each abdominal flap is simultaneously separated into two parallelly cut, completely free-moving parts having fish skin, winch are conveyed away separate front one another. The first part is obtained as a narrow, curved pinbone strip, with a width corresponding to the row of pinbones and limited thereto. The second part is obtained as an abdominal flap meat body determined by the largest part of the separated abdominal flap, free of pin bones, with a cutting length having the curvature. An apparatus for performing the double separating cut of the abdominal flaps is formed by an abdominal flap cutting device which comprises two pairs of cutting tools which cut simultaneously for complete separation of the abdominal flaps, each said pair being designed to perform the double separating cut of the abdominal flaps. A guiding device has a guide which is height-adjustable in a height corresponding to the flank-side height of the fish. The guiding device holds the pairs of cutting tools, aligns them, and guides them to perform the curved double separating cut. The cutting tools of the pair of cutting tools are arranged with a distance which is adapted to the narrow width of the pinbone strip and corresponds to it. | 10-29-2015 |
20150087214 | METHOD FOR MAKING A FILLETING CUT FOR FILLETING FISH, DEVICE FOR MAKING THE FILLETING CUT ACCORDING TO THE METHOD, AND CIRCULAR KNIFE PAIR AND CIRCULAR KNIFE SET UP FOR THE METHOD AND THE DEVICE - A method for performing a filleting cut for filleting fish which are conveyed tail-first is carried out along a row of wedge-shaped ray bones projecting away from a main bone stem with a wedge width increasing from ray bone to ray bone by means of a pair of circular knives having sharp cutting edges. Starting from the tail end, meat of each fish is cut by means of the circular knife pair having a V-shaped arrangement as a result of the fact that a cutting gap having the smallest cutting edge spacing is set to a basic size which is at least substantially equal to or smaller than a wedge width of the outermost ray bone at the tail end of the conveyed fish. In the fixed position of the V-shaped arrangement, the ray bones are guided through the cutting gap, wherein the circular knife cutting edges, which in their cutting edge region are flexibly deformable out of the associated circular knife surface counter to an elastic restoring force, are displaced counter to the elastic restoring force by means of the broadening ray bones with increasing widening of the cutting gap. A tailored suitable apparatus comprises a circular knife pair having cutting edges which, in the fixed V-shaped arrangement, are designed such as to be able to be deformed with a degree of deformation defined by the difference between ray bone wedge widths. Circular knives configured for the apparatus may each have a cutting edge region which is deformable in a wave-like manner along the cutting edge as a result of a bending pressure transverse to the circular knife surface. | 03-26-2015 |
