Apparatus for processing fur

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, and
• where the apparatus comprises a damper arrangement for damping the movement of the scraper units towards and/or away from the mandrel.

• at least a first scraper unit and a second scraper unit arranged on opposite sides of the mandrel with scraping means in the form of at least a first scraper roller and a second scraper roller that are arranged behind each other in the longitudinal direction of the mandrel and are designed, during operation and in contact with the skin side, to rotate so that scraper elements on the scraper rollers scrape the skin side of the fur,
• where the mandrel and the scraper units are arranged to be moved in relation to each other in the longitudinal direction of the mandrel,
• wherein the scraper rollers, during operation and in contact with the skin side, are arranged to act on the skin side with a friction force in the direction towards the second part of the mandrel, where at least one of the scraper rollers in each scraper unit comprises one or more essentially V-shaped scraper elements.
