Method and apparatus for processing of fur

An apparatus for processing the skin side of a tubular fur, which apparatus comprises

• a mandrel on which the tubular fur can be drawn from a free end 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,
• a processing device for processing the skin side of the tubular fur,
• a colour sensor directed towards the mandrel,
• driving arrangement for mutually displacing the mandrel and the processing device in a longitudinal direction of the mandrel, and for mutually displacing the mandrel and the colour sensor in a longitudinal direction of the mandrel, and
• a control device arranged for terminating processing of the skin side of the fur by the at least one processing device in response to an output from the colour sensor indicating a transition between a lower end part of the tubular fur and a surface of the mandrel during the mutual displacement of the mandrel and the colour sensor.
