ABSTRACT:
A process and an apparatus are proposed for the aligning of fish, especially those to be reckoned as belonging to the gadidae species, in respect of the position of their planes of symmetry. Beheaded fish are cyclically loaded on a feeding device of a pair of conveyor belts, which are disposed to have runs facing each other and which together with a bottom belt form a feed chute. The bottom belt is provided with support elements, extending in the direction of conveyance of the fish and arranged at a spacing from one another. The support elements are provided with convex support surfaces projecting up into the feed chute. The charging of the fish takes place so that each fish is caught at its abdominal cavity by a support element. The fish is fed to a holding-down member such as a profiled roller, which by pressing-down effects an arching-in of the abdominal ceiling until the underside of the vertebral projections indirectly bears through the abdominal ceiling, and an exact alignment of the fish thus takes place so that the further effective processing thereof is made possible with highest yield.
