Abstract: A fish filleting machine for cutting fillets from fish includes a first set of cutting blades and a second set of cutting blades located along a feed-line and each configured for cutting the dorsal or the ventral part of the fish by cutting towards and along the vertebral column. The first set of cutting blades and the second set of cutting blades are located in relation to each other such that the first set of cutting blades and the second set of cutting blades are not located directly horizontally above and below each other, and/or cutting parts of the first set of cutting blades and the second set of cutting blades cutting towards the vertebral column are not located directly horizontally above and below each other.

Abstract: A cutting apparatus for cutting a food object where inlet and outlet conveyors are arranged in an end-to-end arrangement. A moving mechanism is provided for adjusting the relative position between the ends of the inlet and outlet conveyors, a cutting device is provided having a cutting plane extending between the inlet and outlet conveyors, a detection mechanism is provided for detecting at least one characteristics related to the food object, and a control device is provided for controlling the moving mechanism and the cutting device. Controlling the moving mechanism includes utilizing the at least one detected characteristics in determining a target width of an opening between the ends of the inlet and outlet conveyors, and controlling the cutting device includes subsequently cutting the food object into smaller food pieces. The target width of the opening is selected such that it allows smaller food pieces to fall through the opening.
