Abstract
An apparatus for removing fat and flesh from the flesh side of a fur comprises a mandrel with a tapered free end portion. The fur to be treated is arranged on the free end portion of the mandrel with its flesh side turned out and in a substantially stretched condition. The mandrel preferably has a polygonal, such as a rectangular, cross-section. The mandrel and the fur arranged thereon is moved in its longitudinal direction through a scraping device comprising oppositely arranged pairs of rollers having scraping edges which combined define a contour substantially complementary to the cross-sectional contour of the mandrel. Thus, the remnants of fat and flesh may be removed from the fur during a single advance stroke of movement of the mandrel in relation to the scraping device, and the treated fur may be stripped from the mandrel during a return stroke thereof.
