    摘要: An apparatus for weakening an attachment of a pin bone to muscle or adipose tissue in a fillet of fish. An electrode coupled to a power supply and in electrical contact with a first end of the pin bone conducts electrical current to the pin bone. The pin bone conducts the electrical current from the first end of the pin bone to a second end of the pin bone. The pin bone has an electrical current resistivity which causes Joule heating that produces sufficient heat in the connective tissue that attaches the pin bone to the muscle or adipose tissue in the fillet of fish to degrade or denature the connective tissue and thereby weaken the attachment of the pin bone to the muscle or adipose tissue.

    摘要: A conveying unit is designed and configured for automatically conveying fillet-like meat products, in particular fish fillets. The conveying unit has a first conveying element rotationally driven by a drive and a second conveying element rotationally driven by a drive, in transport direction of the meat products to be conveyed. The second conveying element is downstream of the first conveying element. The two conveying elements form a continuous transport path, along which different processing stations may be arranged. The first conveying element is a double belt with a gap running centrally and parallel to the transport direction, while the second conveying element is a segment chain which is triangular in cross-section. A method is also disclosed.

    摘要: The invention provides a gutting device for gutting a fish along its abdominal cavity. A blade for cutting the fish open, and a shielding element are movably mounted on a controllable movable arm. The shielding element has a blunt tip, and it is arranged for being in: 1) a retracted position, where the shielding element allows the blade to cut the fish, 2) a tracking position, where the blunt tip of the shielding elements is inside the abdominal cavity of the fish, so as to track the end of the abdominal cavity of the fish, and 3) a shielding position, where the shielding element is pushed upwards by contact with the end of the abdominal cavity at a genital opening of the fish, thereby shielding the blade from further contact with the fish. This provides a precise method for without unintentionally damaging the fish.
