Title:
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PORTIONING AND ORIENTATING WHOLE FISH OR OTHER ELONGATE, NON-SYMETRICAL ARTICLES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999057016
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
When packaging whole fishes in fish boxes, the fishes should be placed with mutually inverted orientations for a good exploitation of the box space. It is well-known to arrange for this purely manually, while at the same time aiming for a reasonably well-defined total weight of the content of the box. With the invention, advantage is taken of the fact that for the building up of specific weight-determined groups of fishes, normally for ensuring a predetermined minimum weight, it is possible to make use of a computer-controlled merging of the fishes, and that in connection therewith it is possible to arrange for the computer to control turning means for the fishes in such a manner that in the individual groups the fishes will automatically appear with a suitable division between mutually opposite orientations.
