APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING FUR

An apparatus for processing fur, particularly mink fur, the apparatus having an elongated mandrel (I 5) for supporting a pelt (25) mounted thereon with the flesh side facing outwards, scraper rollers (26,3 I) with scraper edges (49), cylinder means (30, 35) adapted for pressing the scraper edges (49) of the scraper rollers (26, 31) for bearing against the flesh side of the pelt mounted on the mandrel (15), and actuating means (14) for moving the mandrel (15) and the scraper rollers (26, 31) relative to each other in longitudinal direction of the mandrel, the scraper edges (49) on the scraper rollers (26, 3 I) together forming a contour which is substantially complementary to the eontour of the cross-section of the mandrel (15), where the two scraper rollers (26) adapted to process the pelt at vertical sides of the mandrel (15) are each driven by an electric motor (27) which via a gearing (54) simultaneously drives a secondary scraper roller (56) which is arranged to be pressed against partial vertical parts of the flesh side of the pelt (25) mounted on the mandrel (15). Hereby is achieved a significantly technical simplification of the apparatus and a thnctionally improved clean scraping of fur.
