ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for reorienting fish fillets includes a pair of oppositely rotating turntables positioned at the end of a conveyor belt and tilted in the longitudinal direction of travel of the fillets. A divider directs fillets on the right-hand side of the conveyor to the right-hand turntable, and fillets on the left-hand side of the conveyor to the left-hand side of the turntable. A discharge guide directs the fillets carried by the turntable such that they are discharged onto the inspection table when their orientation has changed 90 degrees such that they are positioned on the inspection table transverse to the movement of the table and stomach side forward. The discharge guides extend to a location near the forward edge of the turntables and are oriented to form an opening that allows the tails of the fillets to pass under the discharge.
