ABSTRACT:
A fish filleting machine for cutting and separating fish fillets from the central bone section with band saw blades. The machine is designed to require a minimum of non-automatic adjustment in order for the cutter to follow the shape of the hard spinal bone as it cuts through the soft outer layer of fish meat so that a minimum of the fish meat remains on the bone. The machine includes laterally moveable cambered guide wheels to provide a slight, few degree, inner cant or bias to the band saw blades. As the fish to be cut is contacted by the blades, the inwardly directed cant causes the blades to move centrally toward and along the spinal bone, but it is not so canted as to cause the blade to cut into it. The machine includes a variable diameter cam driven means which causes the guide wheels to laterally move into and against the blades providing the desired cant to the band saw blades. The machine also includes laterally directed fish gripping pins on the conveyor chains for automatically gripping the fish body and conveying it securely through the cutting/separating process of the machine.
