Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and a system for processing fish fillets conveyed by a conveyor means where the fish fillets are in an undercooled state.
  • EP 1830656 discloses a method for bone removal and trimming of fish fillets when it is in an under-cooled using high pressure water jet for cutting.
  • a digital imaging of the fish fillets is performed and the image is compared with plurality of pre-stored images for determining cutting patterns.
  • This selected cutting pattern is used for operating the at least one high pressure water jet for removing at least a part of bones or undesired tissue from the fish fillet.
  • identical fish fillets of e.g. the same type of fish species can have up to some extent different bone structures.
  • the pin bone location and the angular position of the fish fillet can be different for the exact geometrical size of fish fillet of the same fish species.
  • the processing is most likely operated such the pin bone "strip" is sufficiently wide. This can mean that 15mm excess cut must be performed to ensure no remaining pin bones in the processed fish fillets.
  • the invention preferably seeks to mitigate, alleviate or eliminate one or more of the above mentioned disadvantages singly or in any combination.
  • a method for processing fish fillets conveyed by a conveyor means where the fish fillets are in an undercooled state the method comprising:
  • processing includes determining pin bones areas in the fish fillets and/or locations of undesired tissues
  • the determined pin bones areas in the fish fillets and/or locations of undesired tissues is used as an operation parameter in automatically cutting around the pin bones areas and/or around the locations of the undesired tissues using at least one high pressure water jet for the individual fish fillets.
  • an improved method for processing fish where the yield may be greatly enhanced since now the cutting is performed based on the X-ray data for each individual fish fillet, i.e. the processing is dynamically adapted to each individual fish fillet where e.g. fish fillets of the same fish species having the exact same shape may be different if the pin-bone location is somewhat different or e.g. fish one of the fish fillets has undesired tissue while the other fish fillet does not have an undesired tissue or much less of it.
  • the fish fillets may as an example be any type of fish species, such as, but not limited to, cod, salmon, Alaska Pollock, or any type of a white fish.
  • the fish fillets may be with their skins one or without the skins, where the skins may be removed with an appropriate skin removing device well known to a person skilled in the art.
  • undercooled state may be understood as being approximately between - 1.5°C-0°C which may be achieved by any type of equipment well known to a person skilled in the art where the fish fillet are cooled down to this temperature range where the fish fillets are stiffer than during conventional processing where this stiffness enables processing without the fillets loosing quality because of gapping in the flesh. Moreover, this undercooled state may further allow removing the pin bones with more efficiency and accuracy and also smoother cuts.
  • the step of processing the obtained X-ray data further comprises determining surface height profiles for the fish fillets and where the surface height profiles are utilized as further operation data in operating the at least one high pressure water jet.
  • the surface height profile may indicate the complete surface height profile based on the obtained X-ray data, e.g. based in the X-ray data.
  • the step of operating the at least one high pressure water jet comprises moving the at least one high pressure water jet during cutting such that it follows the surface height profiles of the fish fillets where the at least one high pressure water jet and is positioned at a fixed height above the fish fillets.
  • This fixed height may be selected as the most optimal operation height, preferably as close as possible above the fish fillet, such that the cut, both at the side facing the at least one high pressure water jet and also at the distal side of the at least one high pressure water jet (i.e. the side resting on a support surface), is as smooth as possible.
  • selecting this operation height is of course based on that the cut reaches through the fish fillet at all times.
  • the width of the water beam is narrow and thus the cut will be more precise and have a better appearance.
  • the step of operating the high pressure water jet comprises adapting the advancing speed of the at least one high pressure water jet to the thickness of the fish fillets. Accordingly, the thinner the area of the fish fillets is the faster may the advancing speed be, i.e. the movement of the at least one high pressure water jet, and vice versa, the thicker the fish fillets the slower is the advancing speed. Thus, when e.g. cutting at the tail part the at least one high pressure water jet may be moved faster compared to if the loin is being cut.
  • the speed and/or height may be variable and adapted to e.g. the part that is being cut. As an example, if the processed image shows that there is a tissue/bones etc. that is more difficult to cut than the fish meet, then the advancing speed of the at least one high pressure water jet and/or the height is adjusted accordingly.
  • the at least one high pressure water jet is attached to a moving means and is configured to be moved in a two dimensional x-y plane parallel to a support surface of the fish fillets, or in a three x-y-z plane where z direction is perpendicular to the x-y plane.
  • the at least one high pressure water jet may be slideable mounted to at least one guide means, e.g. a rail guide, that may be operated by the control unit that, based on the obtained image date, and moves the high pressure water along one or two dimensions, e.g. across and/or along the fish fillet.
  • the at least one high pressure water jet may also be attached to means for adjusting the tilting angle of the water jet and thus it may be utilized to adjust the angle of the cut.
  • This means may as an example comprise a robotic or robotic-like system that moves it in at least one degree of freedom, where additionally a tilting movement may be provided to adjust the angle of the cut so that it is not necessarily perpendicular to a carrying surface on which the fish fillets are resting.
  • the moving means may also be configured to maintain the at least one high pressure water jet at fixed height above the fish fillets as already discussed.
  • a system for processing fish fillets conveyed by a conveyor means where the fish fillets are in an undercooled state, the system comprising:
  • control unit for operating the at least one high pressure water jet, wherein the determined pin bones areas in the fish fillets and/or locations of undesired tissues is used as an operation parameter by the control unit in automatically cutting around the pin bones areas and/or around the locations of the undesired tissues using at least one high pressure water jet for the individual fish fillets.

  • the conveyor means may also comprise a single or solid thin conveyor belt where via at least one bypass loop at least slit is/are defined and where the at least one high pressure water jet is/are positioned directly above the at least one slit such that the cutting plane passes through the at least one slit at all times. This is to prevent the conveyor belt from being cut.
  • a bypass loop may be formed by e.g. having two sides by side and parallel rollers positioned below the conveyor belt and arranged perpendicular to the conveyor direction, and at least one roller positioned between and below the two rollers, whereby the conveyor belt is extended around the at least three rollers such that a U-shaped like loop is formed, where the opening of the U-shaped like loop defines the slit.
  • these three (or more) rollers which may be considered as being idle rollers, may be mounted to a moving mechanism that may be operable to move them back and forth parallel to the conveying direction, during cutting where the cutting plane of the at least one high pressure water jet (or any other type of cutting means) passes through the slit at all times.
  • the rollers and the at least one high pressure water jet are mounted to a moving mechanism operated by the control unit operable to move back and forth parallel to the conveying direction during cutting in response to the determined pin bones areas in the fish fillets and/or locations of undesired tissues.

  • the surface height profile 302 may among other things indicate how the thickness of a given fish fillet 301 where a cut is to be performed varies.
