ABSTRACT:
A fish processing unit for longitudinally quartering a fish during a single pass through the unit. A fish is laid on its side and longitudinally oriented in alignment with the direction of travel of a conveyor belt. The conveyor belt passes over the top surface of a front table assembly, then into a fish quartering assembly, and then on to the top surface of a rear table assembly. Within the interior of the fish quartering assembly are mounted a plurality of circular blades that are driven by hydraulic motors. Two of the circular blades are vertically oriented in the same plane with one spaced above the other a predetermined height H1. Two other pairs of horizontally oriented circular blades have their inner edges aligned with each other and they are positioned to the respective sides of the vertically oriented circular blades. What starts out as a whole fish exits the fish quartering assembly in four quarter pieces and a throw portion that includes the backbone of the fish. The quarter pieces of fish are then passed over the top surface of the fish skinner unit with the fish skin positioned on its bottom surface. A single pass removes the skin.
