A pelt processing system that comprises a tanning unit for tanning a pelt, which has been fixated to an expanded pelt board having a pelt board top, a pelt board bottom and a connecting element at the pelt board bottom. The pelt board is further operable between an expanded state and a non-expanded state by moving the connecting element relative to the pelt board bottom. A holding unit is provided for accommodating a plurality of the elongated hollow pelt boards. The holding unit defines a top plate having a number of apertures and each of the apertures are adapted for accommodating the connecting element. A blowing unit is further provided and is compatible with the holding unit and comprises a bottom plate, which is parallel to and spaced apart from the top plate. A gas inlet is provided for receiving a stream of gas, preferably air, and a sidewall for interconnecting with the top plate in a fluid-tight manner for establishing an inner space between the top plate, the bottom plate, the gas inlet and the sidewall. The system further comprises a release mechanism for causing the pelt boards on the holding unit to assume the non-expanded state. The invention further relates to a method of drying a pelt by employing the pelt processing system.

The present invention relates to an elongated pelt board for accommodating an animal pelt. The pelt board comprises a first wall element, a second wall element being spaced apart from the first wall element in the first radial direction, a third wall element and a fourth wall element being spaced apart from the third wall element in a second radial direction. The wall elements together define a cavity along a longitudinal direction. The wall elements defining a contracted state in which the first and second radial distances are reduced, and an expanded state in which the first and second radial distances are increased. The pelt board further comprising an elongated core element being movable in relation to each of the wall elements. The elongated core element allows the wall elements to selectively define the contracted state or the expanded state by moving the elongated core element in the longitudinal direction.

An elongated pelt board for accommodating an animal pelt. The pelt board defines a blunt end and an opposite pointed end and a longitudinal direction. The pelt board further defines a first radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and a second radial direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and the first radial direction, said pelt board comprising a first part at said blunt end and an opposite second part at said pointed end. The first part comprises a first wall element and a second wall element. The first and second wall elements are of identical configuration. The first wall element and said second wall element define a contracted state and an expanded state.

A stretching apparatus for stretching a pelt on a pelt board, wherein the pelt has a substantially tubular shape defining an inwardly oriented leather side, an outwardly oriented fur side, a nose end, a rear end and a pair of front leg cavities. The pelt board defines a top end for accommodating and fixating the nose end of the pelt, a circumferential wall for facing the inwardly oriented leather side of the pelt and a base end located opposite the top end. The stretching apparatus comprises a holding device for holding the base end of the pelt board, and a stretching device having a pair of stretching members. Each of the stretching members are adapted in order to be inserted into a respective front leg cavity of the pelt and the stretching device is movable in a direction towards the holding device for stretching the pelt.
