  • Patent number: 4378613
    Abstract: Fish skinning apparatus has a skinning assembly receiving fish, skin side down, from the upper section of a chute the lower section of which receives and discharges the skin-free fillets. The assembly includes a pair of transverse rotors one of which is driven and both of which have lengthwise meshing teeth. The edge of a transverse knife is disposed to engage the flesh of a fillet adjacent the skin and form a flap caught between the rotors and pulled thereby from the flesh. One rotor is movable away from the other as required to accommodate the skins. The apparatus has a flushing system ensuring the maintenance of the quality of the product and the assembly components in condition for the efficient operation of the apparatus.
