ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is provided for removing a hide (14) from a carcass (12). A plurality of counterrotating members (18) engage a portion of the hide (14) hanging from the carcass (12). The counterrotating members (18) are then moved together to exert a gripping force on the hide (14). The counterrotating members (18) exert a pulling force on the hide (14) effective to remove the hide (14) from the carcass (12). The present invention provides an improved rate of hide (14) removal, reduces hide (14) damage, and reduces hazardous working conditions.
