ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for flaying of hanging sheep carcasses which are suspended from the hind legs, comprises a stretching device (1) which, by means of a holder means (7), is arranged to be connected with the head of a sheep carcass (3) and to exert downward-directed stretching force thereon, and a flayer driving device (2) having a flayer (4) which is arranged for reciprocating movement along the ventral side of the sheep carcass for executing flaying in the direction from a pocket which is formed in advance by manually flaying around the navel of the carcass. Both the stretching device (1) and the flayer driving device (2) consists of a cylinder/piston unit (5 resp. 8) with a piston rod (6 resp. 9) on the free end of which the holder means (7) and the flayer (4) respectively, is mounted, and both units are mounted on a common support (10) which is attached to an overhead conveyor (11), so that the piston rods (6, 9) are moved in the direction towards the floor by movement in the direction from their inner position to their outer position.
