The present invention is comprised of a fish filet device comprised of a body further comprised of a first end and a second end, a grip and a wrist strap. The wrist strap can be secured around the wrist of the user during use, such that the device cannot be dropped. The second end is further comprised of a plurality of teeth that can be used to secure the device into the skin of a fish. In this manner, a user can press the device into a fish using his or her non-dominant hand, in order to secure the fish and prevent the fish body from sliding on a cutting surface, while fileting the fish with a knife in his or her dominant hand.

The present invention relates to a process for continuous of drying or removing the water phase from wet material, such as organic material and for regulating or controlling the drying mechanisms using heating and drying components in a mechanic set up for drying material. The steam generated in the pre-dryer in the process is sufficient to sustain the energy need of the system as the different components of a meal factory are set up as a closed system.

Aiming at insufficient drying seafood on-board caused by hull swings, the present invention involves the establishment of location correction system for processing seafood transportation displaced by wind waves and anti-accumulation drying processing method. This invention employs CFD-DEM method to simulate the state and distribution of the material particles modulated by the deflector angle and wind speed. Finally, the optimized rotation angle of deflector and wind speed are obtained where material particles are equally distributed. Meanwhile, the uniform and fast drying of the marine products in the swinging hull are achieved. This invention shows the great advantages of high efficiency, automation and continuity.

A knife and scissors having a protection means are disclosed. The knife, which has a handle, a body extended in one direction in engagement with the handle, and a body blade formed at the bottom of the body, for performing a cutting action, includes a protrusion spaced upward from a distal end of the body, an insertion portion formed in a space between the body and the protrusion, and an upper blade formed at the bottom of the insertion portion. The upper blade cuts an object inserted in the insertion portion and the protrusion protects a human body or the object by contacting the body or the object earlier than the distal end of the body, when the body slips off the object.

A fish filleting mat is provided. In an implementation, an example fish filleting mat has a pattern of pegs on a working surface to grip and immobilize the fish during cleaning and filleting. The pegs hold the fish and also the byproducts of cleaning and filleting in place during cleaning and filleting, even when the fish filleting mat is tilted to drain liquids. The fish filleting mat, including pegs, may be made of materials that are easy to clean and stain-resistant, and which do not retain fish odors.

An apparatus and method for separating substances of different flowability that are mixed together, the apparatus and method comprising a frame structure, a hollow drum driven in rotation and mounted on the frame structure and the hollow drum has a perforated circumferential surface and a partially opened side, a press belt driven in rotation and wrapped around part of the circumferential surface and can be pressed against the hollow drum, a product intake wedge configured to guide a product flow into a space between the hollow drum and the press belt in an inlet region, and a support apparatus for the press belt comprising at least one support element located on a first side of the press belt opposite the hollow drum, and a disinfection device assigned to the press belt and configured to disinfect parts of a surface of the press belt.
