Abstract: The invention relates to a trough conveyor, which is designed and configured for transporting fish transversely to the longitudinal extent thereof in the transport direction TM, comprising a transport chain which can be rotationally driven and is formed from chain links and has a transport run, which defines the transport plane E1, and a return run, wherein the continuous transport chain is guided about at least two deflection elements, which can be rotated about an axis of rotation Du, for driving and guiding the transport chain, and the transport chain has arranged thereon troughs each intended to receive one fish, which trough conveyor is distinguished in that each trough is arranged on the transport chain so as to be pivotable about an axis of rotation DM extending transversely to the transport direction TM and comprises at least one guide body, and in that at least one guide rail for receiving the guide body and for guiding the same is arranged at least in the transition region Ü from the transport run t

Abstract: The invention relates to a trough conveyor (10), which is designed and configured for transporting fish transversely to the longitudinal extent thereof in the transport direction TM, comprising a transport chain (12) which can be rotationally driven and is formed from chain links (11) and has a transport run (13), which defines the transport plane E1, and a return run (14), wherein the continuous transport chain (12) is guided about at least two deflection elements (15), which can be rotated about an axis of rotation Du, for driving and guiding the transport chain (12), and the transport chain (12) has arranged thereon troughs (16) each intended to receive one fish, which trough conveyor is distinguished in that each trough (16) is arranged on the transport chain (12) so as to be pivotable about an axis of rotation DM extending transversely to the transport direction TM and comprises at least one guide body (17), and in that at least one guide rail (18) for receiving the guide body (17) and for guiding the sa

Abstract: In a method for mechanically removing intermuscular bones, so-called pin bones, from fillet parts of conveyed fish abdominal flaps for each fish are separated using a continuous, curved double separating cut. Each abdominal flap is simultaneously separated into two parallelly cut, completely free-moving parts having fish skin, which are conveyed away separate front one another. The first part is obtained as a narrow, curved pinbone strip, with a width corresponding to the row of pinbones and limited thereto. The second part is obtained as an abdominal flap meat body determined by the largest part of the separated abdominal flap, free of pin bones, with a cutting length having the curvature.

Abstract: In a method for removing blood released during filleting from the backbone and the indentations therein in the region of the vertebrae of fish that are conveyed in a row with the head forwards and the belly downwards, the removal of blood is carried out at the same time and in the same place as the cutting of the backbone. The backbone, which is freed of ray bones and rib bones, is guided through a cutting gap and is cut clear on the belly side of the fish over the entire length of the fish as far as the root of the dorsal fin to leave a backbone stump. The fish fillet flesh is covered by covering surfaces which converge at the cutting gap and of which at least two covering surfaces form the cutting gap. Pressurized cleaning fluid is sprayed onto the backbone that is guided between the covering surfaces through the cutting gap during cutting.
