Abstract
A rotary hoop knife splitting machine, particularly for splitting skin free from hair, includes a knife with a cutting edge, a feeding device arranged in front of the cutting edge, wherein the feeding device includes a transport gap defined by a base and a driven transport roll, and a feeding gap defined by another base and a driven feeding roll. The transport gap and the feeding gap are arranged closely one behind the other. The transport roll has a diameter which increases from the middle toward the ends. The transport roll is composed of two parts connected to each other in an articulated manner so as to rotate together. The two parts are mounted such that a surface line of the transport roll at the transport gap is a straight line extending parallel to the base.
