Abstract:
The present invention concerns a fish feed-in device ( 10 ) which is designed to supply fish ( 13 ) to a plurality of fish-processing devices and comprises a transverse conveyor ( 14 ) designed to convey the fish ( 13 ) transversely to their head-tail orientation in a transverse conveying direction ( 15 ), wherein the transverse conveyor ( 14 ) comprises a plurality of receptacles ( 17 ) each designed to individually hold one of the fish ( 13 ), and the transverse conveyor ( 14 ) has a controllable drive unit ( 19 ), at least one feeder device ( 11 ) designed to supply fish to the receptacles ( 17 ) of the transverse conveyor ( 14 ), a plurality of transfer devices ( 16 ) which are designed to selectively transfer the fish ( 13 ) from the transverse conveyor to longitudinal conveyors ( 12 ) arranged upstream of the respective fish-processing devices, wherein the longitudinal conveyors ( 12 ) are designed to convey the fish ( 13 ) in their head-tail orientation to the fish-processing machines, and a control device which is designed to control the at least one feeder device ( 11 ), the transfer devices ( 16 ), and the conveying speed of the transverse conveyor ( 14 ) on the basis of at least one predefined distribution specification. The invention furthermore concerns a corresponding method for supplying fish.

Claim (Index 19):
Method for supplying fish to a plurality of fish-processing machines, comprising the steps:\n conveying the fish ( 13 ) transversely to their head-tail orientation in the transverse conveying direction ( 15 ) by means of a plurality of receptacles ( 17 ) of a transverse conveyor ( 14 ) which are each designed to individually hold one of the fish, infeed to the receptacles ( 17 ) of the transverse conveyor ( 14 ) by means of a feeder device ( 11 ), selective transfer of the fish ( 13 ) by means of transfer devices ( 16 ) from the transverse conveyor ( 14 ) to respective longitudinal conveyors ( 12 ) arranged upstream of the fish-processing machines, conveying of the transferred fish ( 13 ) in their head-tail orientation to the fish-processing machines by means of the longitudinal conveyors ( 12 ), controlling the infeed to the receptacles ( 17 ) and the selective transfer of the fish ( 13 ) on the basis of at least one predefined distribution specification.
