DEVICE FOR CUTTING FISH FILLETS OFF SIDE BONES, FILLETING DEVICE HAVING A DEVICE OF THIS TYPE, AND METHOD FOR CUTTING FISH FILLETS OFF SIDE BONES

摘要

The invention relates to a device (10) which is designed and configured for processing headed fish (11), namely for cutting the fish fillets off the side bones, said fish fillets preferably already having been processed with an abdominal blade assembly and a back blade assembly, comprising a transport device (12) which is designed and configured for transporting the fish (11) in the transport direction (T), tail first, wherein the transport device (12) has a continuously circulating transport conveyor (13) with at least one transport saddle (14) for receiving and securing a fish (11), a side blade assembly (15), wherein the side blade assembly (15) has two side blade units (16, 17) which are opposite one another on both sides of the transport conveyor (13) in the region of a transport saddle guide (18), and each side blade unit (16, 17) has a rotationally drivable circular blade (19, 20) and a counter-surface assembly (21, 22) for the circular blade (19, 20), wherein the circular blade (19, 20) is arranged at a distance to the counter-surface assembly (21, 22) to form a cutting gap (S), as well as at least one control unit for moving the side blade unit (16, 17) relative to the transport conveyor (13) from an idle position into a working position, and back, characterised in that the counter-surface assemblies (21, 22) are controllably designed and configured for altering the size of the cutting gap (S) during the processing. The invention also relates to a filleting device having a device (10) of this type and to a corresponding method.
