Abstract: In an apparatus for the mechanical skinning and filleting of poultry bodies these are saddled on carriers and guided to pass corresponding processing tools. To achieve the objects of skinning in an optimal manner, on the one hand, and obtaining a high yield in fillet meat, on the other, the carriers are designed to pivot about a vertical axis and at least one reversing mechanism is provided for the carriers, one of such reversing mechanisms being arranged between a skinning tool and a tool for releasing the meat, this reversing mechanism serving for pivoting the carriers about 180.degree..

Abstract: This apparatus makes use of a first supporting disk driven in rotary manner about a vertical axis and having at least one stripping tool, which is constructed as a tubular body from two half-shells with a projecting end cutter and surrounds the bone of, for example, a poultry leg in the vicinity of the distal joint head or condyle. This first supporting disk is faced by a second supporting disk intersecting in inclined manner the axis of the first disk and rotating synchronously therewith and substantially comprising depressions facing the stripping tools arranged on the underside facing the first supporting disk for the shape-adapted supporting of the leg in the vicinity of the proximal condyle. The meat is stripped as a result of a supporting disk rotation angle of 180.degree. approximation of the depression supporting the proximal condyle with respect to the stripping tool.

Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for delivering pasty substances in portions of predetermined weight and/or volume. The problem is to provide an ergonomically optimized apparatus of the continuously functioning type, which is solved essentially in that the storage hopper and the conveyor are laterally associated with one another, the outlet port of the latter being higher than its inlet port and the hopper being mounted on a pivoting device, part of which forms a closure for a conveyor housing.
