ABSTRACT:
A fluid power operated fish skinning machine that severs the tail and impales the fish on a wheel. The fish is then rotated past cutting stations where the dorsal fins are removed and the belly flap is cut. The wheel is then stopped opposite a cutting wheel mounted on a drum which is rotatable about its axis in either direction and is pivotable against or away from the fish body. The drum is pivoted against the fish and a transverse slit is made by the cutting wheel in the fish across the backbone near the head of the fish. The drum is then rotated until a gripping device on the drum is disposed in the slit. The gripping device is then pivoted against the drum and grips the skin against the outer surface of the drum. The drum and wheel are then rotated in opposite directions about their axes such that the skin is peeled from the fish.
