Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a separating device for tuna loin meat,

The present invention relates to a tuna lean meat separator, and more particularly, to a tuna lean meat separator for removing tuna lean meat by removing the head and the fins, .

Tuna is a tasty and nutritious fish that has been commercialized as a canned food. In order to process tuna in a canned form, only the lean meat should be removed by removing the head, fins and intestines of the tuna.

To do this, the frozen tuna is thawed, the abdomen is cut with a knife, and the internal organs are taken out. Then, it is boiled with steam (hot water), cooled, and then the hair, fins and tail are removed.

Subsequently, all of the processing steps for collecting only the lean meat of the immersed tuna are performed by hand. Therefore, a lot of manpower is needed for such a processing process, so labor costs are not only increased but also hygiene and cleanliness are problematic.

In addition, the fish processing apparatus disclosed in the prior art has a large number of constituent steps for carrying out the process, and is complex and has a problem in that the efficiency becomes inferior due to the machining process being performed in parallel with manual operation.
