An apparatus for processing the skin side of a tubular fur, which apparatus comprises: a tapering mandrel with a first part that is thinner than a second part of the mandrel, on which mandrel the tubular fur can be drawn from the first part of the mandrel towards the second part of the mandrel so that the skin side of the fur faces outwards and the fur side of the fur faces inwards towards the mandrel, at least a first scraper unit and a second scraper unit, each scraper unit comprising at least a first scraper roller which, during operation and in contact with the skin side, is arranged to rotate so that scraping elements on the scraper roller scrape the skin side of the fur on opposite sides of the mandrel, where the mandrel and the scraper units are arranged to be moved in relation to each other in the longitudinal direction of the mandrel, where the scraper units are arranged to be movable towards and away from the mandrel and comprise a pressure arrangement arranged to apply to said at least one scraper roller a contact pressure against the skin side, where the apparatus comprises a damper arrangement for damping the movement of the scraper units away from the mandrel, and wherein said damper arrangement is separate from said pressure arrangement.
