ABSTRACT:
In a skinning machine, intended primarily for deskinning poultry pieces, a cylindrical feed screw in a cylindrical passage forms an annular feed passage between them. The passage increases in flow capacity from a hopper at its entrance, where the pieces are received, to a skin removal station, and then decreases in flow capacity to its end. Skin removal means includes pairs of rollers mounted around the passage at the skin removal station to constitute part of the passage wall, each roller having a radially protruding rib that extends into the neighborhood of the surface of the other roller so as to grip the skin between them and strip it from the pieces. The rollers have a peripheral speed greater than the feed screw and part of the separated skin is passed between them out of a respective first exit. The machine includes a cylindrical knife edge barrier at the exit from the skin removal station that engages the pieces moving axially toward the piece exit and presses them back into contact with the skin removal rollers before they leave station. A second exit for the majority of the skin is formed by a gap between this barrier and the skin removal means. A gear train is provided to drive the slower rotating feed screw and the faster rotating skin removal rollers from the same motor.
