AUTOMATED PROCESSING METHOD FOR FISH AND INSTALLATION FOR PREPARING AND PROCESSING FISH, PARTICULARLY FOR SLAUGHTERING AND GUTTING THE SAME

摘要

The invention relates to an automated processing method for fish and to an installation for preparing and processing fish. The invention also relates to a conveying element for linking a central feed device to a processing machine for processing fish. Prior art installations exist in which a number of machines are combined in an installation, whereby the individual machines are supplied with fish via a central feed belt. The fish are guided to the individual machines by the feed belt and are fed to a storage basin. Inside this storage basin, the fish are not orderly arranged and have to be separated and aligned again. This requires, however, operating personnel located at each machine of an installation in order to enable a parallel loading of the machines. According to the invention, in which the feed device has, in the area of each processing machine provided for processing the fish, means for transferring the fish from the feed device to each processing machine, whereby the transferring means are designed so that the fish automatically reach the respective entry position of the processing machine, a separation and alignment at each processing machine effected by operating personnel can be eliminated.
