Displacement of scraping rollers

An apparatus for processing the skin side of a tubular pelt, the apparatus comprising

• an elongated tapering mandrel for supporting the pelt with its skin side turned outwards, the mandrel having a thinner, free end from which the tubular pelt is drawn over the mandrel and a thicker end,
• a scraping device comprising a first set of primary scraping rollers arranged on opposing sides of the mandrel and a second set of primary scraping rollers arranged on other opposing sides of the mandrel and being substantially perpendicularly oriented with respect to the first set of primary scraping rollers, the scraping device further comprising a primary rotation member for rotating said primary scraping rollers during processing of a pelt so as to engage a skin side of the pelt,
• an actuator for conducting a relative movement between the scraping device and the mandrel in a longitudinal direction of the mandrel, and
• a displacement member for displacing at least one primary scraping roller together with its primary rotation member in a direction of an axis of rotation of said scraping roller, wherein the displacement member is arranged for simultaneous displacement of both rollers of one of said set of primary scraping rollers in the same direction.

• wherein said cover is configured for enclosing a part of the mandrel and at least one set of primary scraping rollers of the scraping device in said compartment during operation,
• wherein said outlet is arranged in a bottom part of said cover, said bottom part being arranged below said set of primary scraping rollers,
• wherein said cover comprises walls with inner surfaces configured for leading material removed from said skin side set of primary scraping rollers towards said bottom part, and
• wherein the displacement member is arranged for displacing said set of primary scraping rollers out from the compartment of the cover.
