Skinning installation adapted to remove skin from slaughtered poultry parts, e.g. from a part including the breast, comprising a skinning device, which comprises: - a support frame; - a toothed skinning roller being rotatably supported by the support frame, having teeth gripping the skin; - a skinning roller drive that is adapted to drive the skinning roller in a rotation direction; - an elongated shoe having opposed ends (4a, 4b), at least one of which is fastened to the support frame, said shoe extending adjacent and essentially parallel to the toothed skinning roller, characterized in that the shoe comprises: ∘ a central nose portion which is directed counter to the rotation direction of the skinning roller, having two side edges (4y, 4z) and a leading skin gripping edge, wherein the side of the nose portion facing the skinning roller comprises an arcuate surface having a curvature corresponding essentially to the curvature of the skinning roller, wherein a skin gripping gap is defined between the arcuate surface of the central nose portion and the skinning roller; ∘ at least one bridging portion (4e, 4f) between the central nose portion and the end of the shoe (4a, 4b) that is fastened to the support frame, arranged downstream of the leading skin gripping edge when seen in the rotation direction of the skinning roller, wherein a bridge clearance (B1, B2) is defined between the bridging portion (4e, 4f) and the skinning roller. - a support frame; - a toothed skinning roller being rotatably supported by the support frame, having teeth gripping the skin; - a skinning roller drive that is adapted to drive the skinning roller in a rotation direction; - an elongated shoe having opposed ends (4a, 4b), at least one of which is fastened to the support frame, said shoe extending adjacent and essentially parallel to the toothed skinning roller, characterized in that the shoe comprises: ∘ a central nose portion which is directed counter to the rotation direction of the skinning roller, having two side edges (4y, 4z) and a leading skin gripping edge, wherein the side of the nose portion facing the skinning roller comprises an arcuate surface having a curvature corresponding essentially to the curvature of the skinning roller, wherein a skin gripping gap is defined between the arcuate surface of the central nose portion and the skinning roller; ∘ at least one bridging portion (4e, 4f) between the central nose portion and the end of the shoe (4a, 4b) that is fastened to the support frame, arranged downstream of the leading skin gripping edge when seen in the rotation direction of the skinning roller, wherein a bridge clearance (B1, B2) is defined between the bridging portion (4e, 4f) and the skinning roller. ∘ a central nose portion which is directed counter to the rotation direction of the skinning roller, having two side edges (4y, 4z) and a leading skin gripping edge, wherein the side of the nose portion facing the skinning roller comprises an arcuate surface having a curvature corresponding essentially to the curvature of the skinning roller, wherein a skin gripping gap is defined between the arcuate surface of the central nose portion and the skinning roller; ∘ at least one bridging portion (4e, 4f) between the central nose portion and the end of the shoe (4a, 4b) that is fastened to the support frame, arranged downstream of the leading skin gripping edge when seen in the rotation direction of the skinning roller, wherein a bridge clearance (B1, B2) is defined between the bridging portion (4e, 4f) and the skinning roller.
