Abstract: An apparatus (2) for removal of dried furs from pelting boards (8) upon which the fur during the drying process has been fixed. The apparatus removes furs from the pelting boards (8) in an upright position that are successively supplied in upright position, and which at a wide end of the pelting boards are fixed in fixing holes in a top plate of a drying cart (6) in such a way that the upright pelting boards (8) with furs are in transverse and longitudinal rows. The apparatus (2) includes a conveying tunnel (4); a guide for guiding a longitudinal side of the drying cart; a transverse upper guide (14); a secondary guide (16, 18); a primary laterally displaceable lift (30) for clamping a pointed end of the furs; and a secondary lift (50).

Abstract: The present invention is a method for fixing a fur on a pelting board (6) which is temporarily held in a pelting board holder (2), where the fur is put on the pelting board (6), where end parts of the fur are retained in a fur holder (3), and where the fur is stretched on the pelting board (6) to a desired length. Preferably the end part of the fur is fixed on the pelting board (6) by winding with a winding material (13), such as a band. The invention further is an apparatus (1) for securing a fur on a pelting board (6), where the apparatus (1) includes a pelting board holder (2), a fur holder (3) and a band winding unit (4), and where the band winding unit (4) is arranged for moving around the pelting board holder (2).
