ABSTRACT:
A fish scaling apparatus and process is disclosed wherein a vertical stand 11 supports a pair of elongated, concentrically spaced, perforated drums 20,22 (FIGS. 1-7). An access door 23 is provided along the length of the outer drum 20 to permit loading and unloading of a quantity of fish in the space d between the two drums. Drums 20,22 are provided, respectively, with a plurality of dimpled perforations 25,26 through the sidewall thereof with each perforation having rough edges facing toward the space between the drums (FIG. 3a). A perforate water pipe 13 serves as an axle about which the drums 20,22 rotate and an electric motor 40, in conjunction with a selection of pulleys, (FIGS. 1-2), chain and sprocket wheels (FIG. 5), and/or gears (FIG. 10), supply the rotative force for the drums. Drums 20,22 are designed to rotate together (FIGS. 1-7), separately (FIGS. 8-9), or in opposite directions (FIG. 10). Rotation of one or both drums causes the fish therebetween to engge the rough edge perforations 25,26 and the scraping movement thereover effects removal of the fish scales. Most of the removed scales pass through the outer drum perforations 25 and are collected on a screen grid 39 disposed over drain 29 and within a removable drip pan 28 that is releasably supported by the stand (FIG. 4).
